Could do better! pic.twitter.com/Wl0evBKTA5This is why I don't generally require textbooks for classes I teach. Just some readings, and densely worded power points. Available textbooks are pretty bad, with a few notable and laudable exceptions.
I wish I didn’t have too for Intro bc I really like teaching the course. But we are required to require it and administer a standard final based on it..
Ugh. Don't like that policy. Textbooks are pretty bad, plus students rarely spend time reading them. I highly doubt they contribute to learning. Of course, if students want a textbook, then good for them! But few do. And few get much from them.
Agreed! My upper level courses I am teaching next year will just supplement with articles and chapters. Also adds value to the students to come to lecture!
Exactly! Make the lectures entertaining; make great power points; post links to Schmitt, Buss, and other well-written articles, and you have a great class! And can we stop teaching Freud, Erikson, and others in intro as if they belong in the pantheon of science?
Seriously on your last point. I have an entire lecture on personality & devo that I have to preface with “this is not current” then have to follow with lectures on what is current.. history of psych is great..for the history of psych course!
Right?! I mean, I like Freud more than most because he was such a brilliant prose stylist and myth maker. But I wouldn't dare teach that nonsense to students. As you said, leave that to the history class (which is useful, of course, in its own way).
It is overall very frustrating bc Intro Psych has the potential to be an amazing, intresting, and useful course for students across a variety of majors.. disappointing that it isn’t.
