Welcome to the History & Systems 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/history/

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 the class before you. This will give you an idea of what we expect from you. 

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

Topical Blog Example:
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 what the history of psychology is? Why or why not?
4) Based on these posts are there any specific topics you are interested in learning? Why?

(Please notice that we often ask the question 'Why?' This is because we want you to support your answer in-depth. While 'Why?' is a short question, we expect a long well thought out response.)

Thanks,

--Dr. M

Please read chapter 1. After reading the chapter, please respond to the following questions:

(Note: to help with organization points please keep the numbering)

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

2a) What person did you find interesting?
2b) Why were they interesting to you?

3a) What do you think of the overall message of the chapter?
3b) Was it interesting to you? Why or why not?

4) What did you read in the chapter that you think will be most useful to in understanding the history of psychology?

5) How, in what ways, does this chapter relate (build on) to what you have already learned about the History of Psychology or to material you have learned in other classes?

6a) What topic would you like to learn more about? 
6b) Why?

7) What ideas or questions related to what you were reading did you have while reading the chapter?

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

Let us know if you have any questions,

What we would like you to do is to find a topic from what we have covered in this week's readings that you are 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 youtube clips that demonstrate something related to the topic, etc. What you find and use is pretty much up to you at this point. But use at least 3 sources (only one video please and make sure it adds to the topic).

1) Once you have completed your search and explorations, I would like you to say what your topic is, how exactly it fits into the chapter we have covered this week, and why you are interested in it.

2) What are three aspects of the topic you want to talk about for this assignment?

3) Next, I would like you to take the information you found from the various sources and integrate/synthesize* them into the three aspects of the topic, and then write about the topic.

4) Finally, 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.

*By integrating/synthesizing I mean to take what your read/experienced from the internet search (and from section 1 if you like) 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 that information. This 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. For example, they 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. Serial means one after the other...This what you DON'T want to do!

At first it is a real challenge to get out of the habit of writing "serial abstracts," but I assure you once you get the hang of it it is much easier to write using the integration/synthesis method. And besides this is the way good 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.

Next make list of the terms and terminology you used in your post.

Let us know if you have any questions.

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

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

What we would like you to do is to find a topic from what we have covered in this week's readings that you are 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 youtube clips that demonstrates something related to the topic, etc. What you find and use is pretty much up to you at this point. But use at least 3 sources (only one video please and make sure it adds to the topic).

1) Once you have completed your search and explorations, I would like you to say what your topic is, how exactly it fits into the chapter we have covered this week, and why you are interested in it.

2) What are three aspects of the topic you want to talk about for this assignment?

3) Next, I would like you to take the information you found from the various sources and integrate/synthesize them into the three aspects of the topic, and then write about the topic.

4) Finally, 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.

Next make list of the terms and terminology you used in your post.

Let us know if you have any questions.
