Sadly, after 22 years on TIPS, I am done. It was a wonderful resource, as it was intended, for many years. Michael Sylvester started to make it strange and irrelevant and continually fought off any attempts to keep him on topic and away frim frivolous posts. Then it was often just a conversational joust between him, Chris Green and Mike Palij. I am sorry to say that I feel it was ruined for me by many odd posts. There were occasional good and interesting posts, but SELDOM were there any good interactions about actual "Teaching in Psychological Science."
