Week 6 - Class Evaluation

What did you like about the class? All the material we covered was very interesting and I loved watching all those TV shows that related to psychology and the specials about real life experiments. I also thought Mrs. Halfen was a very good teacher and kept the lectures interesting and lively.

What was your favorite activity or project? I really liked the Play-doh brain model. It was fun and it was a great visual that helped me memorize for the tests. Other than that, we didn't do that many projects, but I think watching the TV shows also really enhanced what we learned in the textbook. It was fun to see how people really act in the ways that psychologists have studied.

What didn't you like about the class? I think the only thing that could make this class better was if it were given a longer teaching period. One semester is definitely not enough to learn all of what psychology teaches. If we had more time, then we could probably learn in greater detail and do more projects.

What do you think I should leave out next year? We could probably do without the "Stepping Through The Section" that we did earlier in the semester. Just writing out notes/outlining was better in getting me to really read through the chapter.

Do you have any suggestions or ideas for things I could do next year in AP Psych? I think we should spend more time on the social and abnormal psychology chapters and possibly do a project about the different types of disorders rather than just blogging about them on our own.

Do you have any suggestions or ideas for next semester in AP Econ? I don't know yet.

Yeah, I agree that the movies were the most interesting to watch. I wish we were able to watch more of that stuff this semester.

I agree with the tv shows, like Friends! It made the information related to the videos more memorable!

I definately didnt like the "Stepping through the Section" either. I felt it was pointless, I mean I didn' teven pay attention to what I was writing when I did it.
