Week 6

What a rather quick semester. And psychology is just rolling off the plate. This class is something I would call...interesting. Of course in a good way. I took this class because majoring in psychology was one of my ideas, and I wanted to see what "goodies" Psych had. I guess what I like about this class is that something seems to be happening and "mind games" are apparent everywhere. My favorite project was probably the senses project since I got to do numerous things like spin around and walk the line like a drunk person, and eat good cookies! What I didn't like about the class was the work given when a sub was present. That work totally blows, and I feel that nothing really came out of it.
I think leaving out that whole super old AP test analysis should be taken out. That took forever to attempt to complete. Also, leaving out that one sub who refused to resort to common sense during our senses projects and listen to the authority of a teacher and totally messed up the schedule couldn't hurt either(I'm aware that's a run-on sentence?). Since I'm not taking Eco YET, I really don't know what to suggest.

Psych was a fun class, and I learned a nice chunk of information. Thanks for the experience Mrs.Halfen! See ya around everyone in my class!

EDIT: After reading other's blogs, I just have to say some more haha. THE VIDEOS. KEEP THE VIDEOS. The one on the solitary confinement was my favorite. Watching people go nuts is better than anything else! Then comes the "repeated". The stepping through the sections was too intense, although I do appreciate having a chance at extra credit. In addition, the short semester totally blows, and I think you should push to making it a year long!
