The third week is now down and the class is now into the swing of things. People are starting to skip classes and the gaps between people are starting to increase. I am surprised this many people skip. My freshman year of classes I was on time and always there. I was terrified of missing something important. I don’t know how people do it.
Anyways I think things are going well. I am starting to get more emails about different things but at least they are communicating with the TA’s. People also seem to be getting more comfortable asking us questions after class instead of heading straight for Dr. Gurung.
“Super-size” me was awesome. I had never seen it before and I think the students really liked it and it was a nice tie in to the material. From the grading I have done it looks like they are starting to better understand what it really takes to make an experiment and that there can be soo many variables.
I am very excited about the neuron assignment. I love the physiological side of psychology. I love neurons and drug reactions and anything to do with the brain. This is probably my favorite chapter. I hope that the students will contact me if they are having trouble with it.
