Synesthesia

Need a refresher on what synesthesia is? Check out this video:

Thresholds Online Demo

Today in class we'll be exploring basic principles of sensation, including absolute thresholds.

When prompted, check out this interactive demo on absolute thresholds in order to build your understanding of this concept.

Eye-Witness Memory

When directed by your instructor, enter your response to the photo line-up task using this form.

To avoid biasing the responses of others, please do not sure your responses or impressions until all data collection is complete.

Cognition Demo

When prompted by your instructor, enter your results from the Cognition Demo here.

Then, close your Chromebook to show that you are ready to move on.

Practice with Correlation Coefficients

Today in class we'll be learning about correlation coefficients, the statistic used to represent relationships uncovered in correlational studies. You will have an opportunity to practice matching scatterplots to their correlation coefficients using this website.

If you would like another opportunity to visualize relationships between correlation coefficients and their scatterplots, this visualizer tool may be helpful!

Survey

Today in class we will be discussing various descriptive methods, including surveys. Please take a moment to respond to this brief survey so we can use the data in class later.

NOTE: You may have trouble accessing the survey if you are not logged into your .chipfalls.org gmail account. Because I wish to limit responses to only my students, you will not be able to participate unless using your school-issued gmail account. Sorry!

E-Text Access for your Textbook

Students,

If you would like to set up electronic access for your textbook, follow these steps to get started.

Go to https://www.highschool.bfwpub.com/launchpad/myersap2e/12127865

Bookmark the page to make it easy to return to (although note that the URL will look different due to security measures).

To Enroll:

Select "I have a student access code", enter the code exactly as it appears on the card, and click Submit.

Finally, record your user information on the back side of the card. This is important because it allows me to determine how many times the access code has been used, and this is the only way I can help you retrieve your password.

That should do it! You may also wish to record your username & password on a Google Doc or somewhere else you can access it if you needed it.

Textbook Pick-Up Hours for AP Psych

Greetings, 2019-20 AP Psych Students!

I know you are probably in the midst of enjoying a beautiful summer, and the fall may be (understandably) far from your mind, but the beginning of AP Psychology will be here before we know it!

AP Psychology students do not have a “summer assignment” like some other AP courses, but we do have early textbook pick-up in August. At that time, you’ll get your AP Psych textbook, course materials, and directions for your first reading assignment. You also get to meet me in person, and start talking about the great adventure that is AP Psych!

This year, I was able to schedule textbook pick-up dates and times concurrently with registration week at the high school. I’m hoping this will be convenient for students and their families, since you’ll probably be making a trip to the high school that week anyway. I’ll be meeting students and handing out textbooks in rm 136 (my classroom) during the following times:

Monday, August 19th; 10 AM - 7 PM

Tuesday, August 20th; 10 AM - 7 PM

Wednesday, August 21st; 9 AM - Noon

Please note that, due to ongoing construction in the building, it will be easiest to enter via the staff lot entrance (Door #1 on Terrill St). My room is just down the hall from there!

Have a great summer, and see you soon!

Sincerely,
Mrs. Welle

End of Year Instructor and Course Evaluations

Greetings, students!

Please take the time to give me feedback that will help me make plans for next year. The responses that students generate for these surveys do help me figure out what is working and what can be improved in future iterations of this course.

There are two DIFFERENT evaluations I'd like you to complete. The first concerns the course itself, while the other concerns my instructional approaches specifically. Please take the time to complete BOTH, and there is no rush. Mr. Isaacson will give you plenty of time to complete these.
