Section outline

  • This is the first of three shortened weeks for you, with Wednesday being a student-free day. Take advantage of the time off because you have quite a bit to do in the coming days. While there is no reading module due this week, the unit is drawing to a close and so you will soon be expected to turn in your vocabulary cards for the unit (50), and show evidence of passing the three (Sensation, Perception, and State of Consciousness) review tests with an 85% or more. But, neither of those is due until next week (Tuesday, 2/14).

    First, I want to know about your dreams. You Dream Journal projects are due on Thursday, 2/9 (although I will accept them until Friday). Remember, this is a three-parter: 1) the dream journal itself, highlighting at least 5 dreams; 2) an analysis of the dreams in 2-3 pages; and 3) your own theory on dreams in 3-5 pages.

    Thursday, we will get a start on the next unit, Learning and Memory. Your in-class activity, which will probably be completed next Tuesday, is to create "My Little Book of Learning." The instructions are below. All supplies for the assignment will be supplied.

    Reading for next week will be Module 9, "Classical Conditioning." As usual, you have the choice of printing out the outline below or writing the notes on your own. It's a shorter module (12 pages), so I'm requesting a minimum of 7 pages on notes. The notes will be due on Tuesday, 2/14.
