There will be NO "in-class" meeting this Thursday week #6. As such you will be asked to go on-line to the Ted Talks web site - http://www.ted.com/topics and find a Ted Lecture that ties into the material we have been covering in class to some extent. Once you watch the video please answer the following questions:

1: What as the title of your ted talk?

2: Copy and paste the URL to the talks.

3: What is the general topic / idea expressed in our video.

4: Explain in some detail what you found interesting / useful in the talk.

5: What ideas did you have while watching the talk?

6: What question would you ask the presenter if you had a chance?

7: How does the talk tie into what we have been covering in class?

Welcome to the Cognitive Psychology hybrid class. We would like you to spend a little time orienting yourself with the class blog site. Please read the course description on the 'Home Page.' http://www.psychologicalscience.com/cog/

Next go to the 'Blog' and check out the types of assignments you will be doing over the semester.

http://www.psychologicalscience.com/cog/blog/

We will be using the book "Cognitive Psychology"

Look over the 'Syllabus' pages and make sure you understand what we will be doing this semester as it relates to the syllabus (Class schedule, Course Requirements, & Grading rubrics).

http://www.psychologicalscience.com/cog/about/

You should already have a temporary blog username and password for you to use, if not please email Dr. MacLin to get yours (or to have him resend yours - otto.maclin@uni.edu). You will receive an email later in the week showing you how to get a permanent username and password.

Now click on the comment link (above), sign in using the temporary username and password and leave a comment. Since you are using a temporary username make sure to put your initials at the top of your comment entry so we know it is yours.

In your comment, please state that that you basically went through the website, home page, syllabus, online book. That you understand the class schedule & course requirements; that you read through, and understand, all the sections of the syllabus.

Based on your experience reading through the website, please let us know if you have any questions, if there is anything you don't understand or if you experienced any problems.

Thanks!

By now you should have completed Reading Assignment #1. This would indicate that you have been able to log in and comment on the class blog site. If you have not completed Reading Assignment #1, do that before you do this assignment.

What we would like you to do now is to go to the following page and read some of the blog posts on various types of assignments left from the students in another hybrid class we offer. This will give you an idea of how students respond to a variety of assignment types we will be using for the Cognitive class.

Reading Activity:
http://www.psychologicalscience.com/history/2012/12/reading-activity-week-15-due-tuesday-3.html

Topical Blog:
http://www.psychologicalscience.com/history/2012/12/topical-blog-week-15-due-thursday-2.html

Last Year's Final Project: http://www.psychologicalscience.com/history/2012/12/week-16-final-assignment-2.html

After reading the posts please answer the following four questions:
1) Which posts did you like the best? Why?
2) Were some posts better than others? Why or why not?
3) Has reading these posts changed your idea of how to do assignments for a hybrid class? Why or why not?

1a) What did you find interesting?
1b) Why was it interesting to you?

2a) What did you find interesting?
2b) Why was it interesting to you?

3a) What did you find interesting?
3b) Why was it interesting to you?

4a) What one (1) thing did you find the least interesting?
4b) Why wasn't it interesting to you?

5) What did you read in the chapter that you think will be most useful to in understanding Cognitive Psychology?

6) How, in what ways, does this chapter relate (build on) to the previous chapters?

7a) What topic would you like to learn more about?
7b) Why?

8) What ideas related to what you were reading (what did you think about) did you have while reading the chapter?

9) Once you are done with your post make list of the terms and terminology you used in your post.

What we would like you to do is to find a topic from this week's chapter that you were interested in and search the internet for material on that topic. You might, for example, find people who are doing research on the topic, you might find web pages that discuss the topic, you might find a video clip that demonstrates something related to the topic, etc. What you find and use is pretty much up to you at this point. Please be sure to use at least 3 quality resources. If you use videos, please limit it to one video.

Once you have completed your search and explorations we would like you to:
1a) State what your topic is.
1b) Discuss how the topic relates to the chapter.
1c) Discuss why you are interested in it.

2) Next, we would like you to take the information you read or viewed related to your topic, integrate/synthesize it, and then write about the topic in a knowledgeable manner. By integrating/synthesizing we mean taking what your read/experienced from the internet search organize the information into the main themes, issues, info, examples, etc. about your topic and then write about the topic in your own words using the information you have about the topic.

Synthesizing information is hard for some people to do - many students write what we refer to as "serial abstracts." They are tempted to talk about the websites rather than the topic proper Serial abstract writers will talk all about website #1, start a new paragraph and talk all about web site #2, start a new paragraph and talk all about web site #3, and then write some kind of conclusion about the three websites they used. Serial means one after the other...again, this is what you DON'T want to do! We want you to talk about the topic, not the websites!

Also, if all three sites are on the same one topic it will be easier.

At first it is a real challenge to get out of the habit of writing "serial abstracts," but we assure you once you get the hang of it writing about the topic is much easier to do using the integration method. And besides this is the way researchers and scientists write their technical reports and findings - many of you will have to be able to do this for other classes and for jobs that you may eventually be hired for so now is a good time to learn this skill.

At this point don't worry so much about a grade, worry about doing your best to have fun with the topic and then integrate it into your own words to share what you found and what you now know.

At the end of your post, please include working URLs for the three websites. For each URL you have listed indicate why you chose the site and the extent to which it contributed to your post.

Here is a good example of an early assignment from a different hybrid class where the student integrates what they learned (notice too they stated how each website contributed:

http://www.psychologicalscience.com/history/2012/12/topical-blog-week-2-due-thursday-1.html#comment-33601

Here is an example from a different class of a student reporting on the websites more so than the topic (this is what not to do):

As you probably know by now, cognitive psychology integrates many different fields of science. For the final I would like to you pick two topics of interest from any sections of the book and integrate them into a topical blog of sorts.

The final is worth 30 points. Points will be allocated as follows:

Up to 5 points for overall readability
Up to 5 points for integrating the topics together as well as the references
Up to 20 points on the terms used. Up to 2 points per term. It must be clear that you know the term and how it fits into the topics.

Make a list of the terms you used at the bottom of your post - then go back and either circle, highlight, or underline (etc.) the terms so we can see where and how you used them.

You can email the assignment to me or drop off a hard copy in the psych office.

Let me know if you have any questions,

"It was an innocent time, the mid-1950s. America wasn't yet cynical about its geopolitical games in the Cold War. Case in point: In order to maintain its spying edge over the Russkies, the CIA considered the benefits of hypnosis."

"Diapers.com warehouses are a bit of a jumble. Boxes of pacifiers sit above crates of onesies, which rest next to cartons of baby food. In a seeming abdication of logic, similar items are placed across the room from one another. A person trying to figure out how the products were shelved could well conclude that no form of intelligence--except maybe a random number generator--had a hand in determining what went where."

What does this tell us about the validity of eyewitness identification?

"Consciousness used to be the crazy aunt in psychology's attic. Behaviorists and cognitive scientists alike practiced denial, but the squeaking floorboards troubled our dreams of a truly scientific discipline. Now, the old lady has been given pride of place in the parlor, with all the respectable scientific furnishing of societies and journals. But let's face it--she's still weird."

This is similar to last week's assignment.
