Hi Class - we will be having our mid-term the Thursday before Spring Break. I am in the middle of formulating the exam and would like your input on what you feel is fair game for test. I will seriously take your responses into consideration while making the exam.
1) What topics are fair game to cover?
2) What topics are not fair game to cover?
3) How would you like to be tested?
For this homework please read don't shoot the dog. You Do Not Have To Make A Mind Map. Next visit with your textbook and look up what it has to say about the material you just read.
When you are done:
1) Discuss what you read in the reader. Think about what you learned from the reader. What were the main points the author was trying to make? What were some examples she used? What was the most interesting part of the chapter - etc.? Don't simply answer these questions; these are just some things to ask yourself before you start writing. I am pretty open to what you write about.
2) Discuss what you read in your text. How did the author of your text book go about addressing the related material? What did you find out about the topic that wasn't covered in the reader? What did you find interesting that was presented in the text? How difficult was it to find the related material in the text? Again don't specifically answer these questions, just use them as a way to think about the material. Feel free to experiment with your own style.
3) After you have had a chance to think about the material - what parts do you think you will remember and what parts do you think might fade from memory sooner.
4) Make a list of the terms and terminology you used in this post.
What I would like you to do for this homework is to find some websites of a topic that interests you and that relates to behavior analysis.
1) Discuss in some detail how your topic relates to behavior analysis (it should be a topic in the text). Write a paragraph or two on what your text says about this topic.
2) Visit 3 sites that have information about your topic.
3) Organize your topic into a post that integrates the three sites and what else your text might have to say. Please try to incorporate the behavioral terms and concepts we are learning into your writing.
4) Make a list of course related terms you used in this post (this is to help get you focused on using behavioral terms in your regular writings).
5) Provide the 3 URLs
http://psych.hanover.edu/classes/Learning/papers/Seligman%20Maier%201967.pdf
After making your mind map for the article respond to the following questions:
1) What did you find interesting about the article?
2) What were the main points?
3) Why did the authors write the article?
4) What was the research question?
5) How does the text and your reader handle the related material?
6) What do think the impact of this article was / is?
7) How does it relate to the other articles we have read so far?
What I would like you to do for this homework is to have some fun and find some websites of a topic that interests you and that relates to behavior modification. Please try to incorporate the behavioral terms and concepts we are learning into your writing.
1) Please discuss your topic in general, why it interests you and how it relates to behavior modification.
2) Post at least 2 links to the sites you visited that were most informative about your topic. For each site discuss what the site is about and the information you found and how it relates to your topic (please don't just say they discussed positive reinforcement - how do they go about it? etc?).
3) Disucss how these sites further expanded your understanding of your topic of interest (kind of like a conclusion).
4) Make a list of course related terms you used in this post (this is to help get you focused on using behavioral terms in your regular writings).
Thanks.
For this homework please read don't shoot the dog. Make a mind map of what you just read. Next visit with your textbook and look up what it has to say about the material you just read. Add to your mind map. Please use different colors for the don't shoot the dog and the text parts of the mind map se we can see where that particular material comes from. If it comes from both you can indicate with some coding system of your choosing. You have a good deal of creative license on how you want to personalize your map.

After making your mind map for the article, briefly discuss the article. Here are some questions that might help you formulate your response. You pretty much have the freedom to respond how you see fit. However please write with some authority over the topic (Let me know if this doesn't make sense).
What did you find interesting? What were some of the main points? Why did the authors write the article? How does the text and your reader handle the related material if any? What do think the impact of this article was / is? How does it relate to the other articles we have read so far

"The Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections last Friday sued every inmate on death row, in an effort to block any one of them from challenging the state's lethal injection procedures. Each of the 84 prisoners in the "death house" at Angola State Penitentiary was personally served papers in the suit, said Nick Trenticosta, who has represented numerous clients on Angola's death row."

"The use of physical punishment may stop unwanted behaviors, but it may also result in resentment or fear of the parent, or negative feelings toward themselves. Unacceptable behavior can also be addressed by chiding, withholding privileges, or shaming. Punishment should be linked with communication. From the series Inside Out: Introduction to Psychology."

"This wasn't just any case of high school girls behaving badly toward one another. Phoebe apparently faced an onslaught of bullying via texts, Facebook messages, and in person at the school. Even after her death, the shitty little girls left disparaging messages on a Facebook page created in her memory."
