Thursday went very smooth with the movie and questions. We really didn’t need any of the lights on, because the light from the back doors gave off enough for people to see. Most of the students found the movie funny, interesting, and somewhat disgusting. I thought that it was a really good idea for a movie, but a larger sample size would have probably shown more variance in the physiological/psychological effects from the diet. We stopped the movie at ten after twelve and let the students talk to each other, fill out their cards, hand them in, and leave.
The same guy (I think his name is Jared) was sitting in the back, and he could see the screen, so we were not annoyed. But then he was on his laptop now and then. Also, a student came up to me at the end of class and asked if we will be finishing the movie on Tues. The Syllabus plan says that for Feb 9th, we are studying psychology science.
The Friday Study table had a turnout of two….their names were Martha Davis and Rebecca Mccabe! We both discussed why this happened, and we think that it is probably too early for the students to be worried about the first exam or maybe it was too early on a Fri (plus some students probably don’t have Fri classes so they want to sleep in). I’m sure we can talk about this more on Monday!
