WIMICT 8/21 and 8/24

It's the second day of class in AP Psychology. If you didn't make it, or just need a little reminder, here's what we did in class today:

First we recapped and finished the four lessons from Cognitive Psychology that can improve your performance at school. In brief, 1) metacognition, 2) deep processing, 3) spaced practice, and 4) get enough sleep!

We also used today to discuss the syllabus and class policies. Please make sure to access the course syllabus and complete the verification form linked at the end of the document. You can find the reading schedule and homework description on the class website. Be sure that you are enrolled in my google classroom and make sure you understand how the Myer's online quizzes work. If you need help with either, please see me. For each chapter homework assignment, you may choose to either 1)take the two online quizzes, 2) complete the chapter worksheet located in Google Classroom, or 3) turn in chapter notes or an outline.

We took a short 35 question pre-test. If you missed this you should schedule a time to retake it. It will only take 20 minutes to complete.

There is a copy of the "How to Study Video Series" posted on Google Classroom. We watched the first video in class, and you need to complete the rest of the series according to the schedule on the assignment.

Finally, we started learning about the first unit of study. I gave the Introduction Outline handout and we covered the first section (section I.) in class using Prezi.

Next class, we'll use our class time to cover the material from the Prologue chapter of the textbook and I'll let you know what you need to focus on for our first Quiz.
