Our new addition

This handsome young fellow came home with me last night. Cat Girl is most displeased.

This was his description on the shelter web site:

Perkins story is one of those "tear-jerkers"- his owner passed away & no one else had room for this big, lovable teddy bear. So he came to us, & as is true for most dogs, he's very glad for every Volunteer who comes in to take him out for a walk or just sits in his cage & hangs out with him. But he would be happiest with a home of his own where he can lay on the couch(or on the floor) & watch basketball games or car racing. And a dog biscuit every now & then would make him ecstatic.

From the description, it sounds like he could actually be a bit of a "couch potato", but during the early adjustment period, things can be a bit chaotic. But I think this is really going to turn out to be a Very Good Thing.

Homework

Here is the handout about homework that I provided on the first day of class. In this post, I will provide information about which articles and videos are appropriate for these 6 one-page papers.

I have a few specific articles that I can link you to (I will create a new post to share those with you), but you can also find articles on your own by going to the American Psychological Association web site, to “psychology topics”. Click on a subject that interests you—for example, ADHD. Scroll down the page past the first couple sections to the one labeled “News”.  Any of the news articles (on any of the psychology topics) is acceptable for your 10 point papers. Below the news links, there should be the heading “Monitor on Psychology Articles”.  Those are also acceptable for 10 point papers.

Here are some approved videos.

Temple Grandin: The World Needs All Kinds of Minds

Aging

Epigenetics

I will also go over this in class, but am providing the information online now for anyone who wishes to get started on these papers. I would recommend trying to submit one paper per week so that work doesn't pile up and become unmanageable, but there is some flexibility here. I do strongly urge you to submit your first paper as soon as you are able, so that I can make sure you are on the right track.

Finding articles using PubMed

For both Introductory Psychology and Psychology of Growth and Development, there is a 30 point paper due at the end of the quarter. The specifics of the assignments are different, but both require at least one scholarly/empirical article as a reference. The instructions below are designed to explain how to find such an article for your paper.

  This guide to finding articles using PubMed is available at the library. This link takes you to the library page on the AIAM web site (found under "Resources"). If you have a Columbus (or Worthington, or Westerville...) library card, you can access premium resources, like EBSCO. Whether you are using PubMed or one of the premium services, be sure to click the "full text articles" box when doing your search.
