Brookhave National Lab Trip

Hi everyone

I had originally scheduled a trip to Brookhaven Labs to visit their neuroscience unit early in November with some of our Psi Beta members.  The trip was cancelled due to damage from the storm and has been rescheduled to Friday, December 7th.  Some of the students originally scheduled to attend cannot attend on the 7th, so I have some open spots available.

If you have students who you think would be interested, or if you want to offer it to your classes, I can take about 5 more students.  We are all meeting at the labs by 9:00 am on Friday, so students need their own transportation.  We would be finished by lunch time.

Anyone interested should contact me as soon as possible at this email.  I will send them the actual agenda for the day. Thanks.

LAST EXTRA CREDIT OPPORTUNITY!

One of the goals of all of the courses is for people to better understand the world around them. Issues related to the field of Psychology often are reflected in the issues of the world around us. The following three artiles were published this week in the New York Times:

What Brand Is Your Therapist?

Neuroscience: Under Attack



Gay Conversion Therapy Faces a Test in Court:

 I am offering the following extra credit based on these articles:

Psy 201: Must do the extra credit on the Neuroscience Under Attack article
All Other classes: Choose whichever article you are interested in
The extra credit is worth up to 7 points on your lowest grade. For the assignment, summarize the article and include a response (your opinion) in it. If you could talk about how the article links to what you have learned that will increase your chances of receiving full credit.

Due Date: 12/12/2012

WRITING ASSIGNMENT REMINDERS

As you know, the writing assignments for  Psychology 201 and Psychology 215 are due next week. The following is a reminder of the assignments- PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW ALL REQUIREMENTS TO ASSIST YOU IN OBTAINING THE BEST GRADE POSSIBLE.

BRAIN AND BEHAVIOR
In lieu of the 4 multi-media assignments you have the option to completing the following assignment:
I have found the following link: http://bama.ua.edu/~sprentic/101%20SAMind%202010-May-June%20issue.pdf

This is the entire "His Brain/Her Brain" issue from the Scientific American Mind. Those who want to do a paper on brain differences in gender can use this as a starting point. (Note: This would be in lieu of the writing assignments on the syllabus).

You can approach this assignment by taking one of these articles as a starting point and then finding a minimum of one other sources (peer reviewed) on the same topic and completing a research paper on this topic. Alternatively, you uses 3 of these articles and complete the paper using these as your soruces. The writing assignment must follow all the other crierion outlined on the syllabus (APA format, etc).

ABNORMAL PSYCHOLOGY
A major focus of this course is to get students to understand the depth of knowledge and research available to them regarding different psychological disorders. This writing assignment will allow you to explore a disorder you may be interested in much greater depth than is typically allowed in a class of this nature.
Seeing a disorder in a person is often much different than reading it in a book or case-study. The first step is deciding which disorder you would like to learn more about. One way to do so would be to watch the videos associated with the assignments described above. A second way to select a main character from literature, film, or television who has a psychological disorder.
IT IS IMPORTANT YOU HAVE THE CORRECT DIAGNOSIS IF YOU ARE USING A CHARACTER SO PLEASE CHECK WITH ME BEFORE YOU DO YOUR PAPER IF YOU ARE USING ONE!
The assignment requires you complete a paper using an “evidenced based practice” approach answering the following questions:
1.   An introduction to the Disorder/What is the Diagnostic Criterion of the Disorder
2.   What are the general theories of etiology? OR You can focus on a specific theory
3.   What are the general forms of treatment?
4.   What is the prognosis?
5.   What, if any, changes may occur in the DSMV?

Your paper should include at least 2 citations, one of which should be peer-reviewed - Failure to use a peer-reviewed journal will result in an automatic 25 point decrease of the grade
Note: A peer-reviewed REVIEW article is an excellent source for this type of paper!
Note: Text and Class notes are allowed to be used but do not count towards the two citations; they must be sited
Other requirements of the paper are:
§  Use of (APA) format is required-failure to use APA format will result in an automatic 25 point penalty

§  Copies of any papers that were used as sources must be handed in with the paper- failure to do so will result in an automatic 20 point reduction in grade

§  All papers must be stapled

§  There will be a 5 point per calendar day penalty for each day the assignment is late

§  On the due date of the assignment, students will sign-in that they submitted the paper. If for any reason, you do not submit your paper on that day, it is your responsibility to insure that your paper is signed in appropriately. If sign-in is not completed, the paper will not be counted as submitted, and thus, a 0 will count for the grade.

College's Communication Regarding Missed Days

SUBJECT:     Make-up Days Following Class Cancellations


Due to Hurricane Sandy and its aftermath, the College was closed for an entire week of classes.  Since it would have been impossible to make up all of the missed instructional time, we have petitioned SUNY, the State Department of Education and the U.S. Department of Education for relief in order to shorten our semester by that amount of time.  Our regularly scheduled make-up days will be employed for other closings as needed.  Therefore, the day classes that would have run today, Thursday, November 8th, are now scheduled to be made up on Thursday, December 20th.

Many faculty members have already made alternative arrangements to ensure that students receive the full course content and we applaud these efforts.  Options to make up work lost as a result of Hurricane Sandy include the use of D2L or an extension of class time for evening classes.  Weekend faculty should feel free to use the regularly scheduled make-up days of Saturday, December 22 and Sunday, December 23 to hold classes if needed.  Faculty should contact their department chair or academic associate dean for assistance.

I wish to thank the members of the calendar committee for their comments and suggestions throughout this very difficult period, as well as the Faculty Association and the members of the Board of Trustees who provided their advice and counsel.

Thank you for your flexibility and understanding.  Let us hope that the weather improves for the remainder of the semester and that our students and colleagues who are suffering from the aftermath of the storm recover quickly and completely.

Writing Assignment Update

The following article was published this past Sunday in the New York Times:

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/21/opinion/sunday/kristof-cuddle-your-kid.html?_r=0

 It is an interesting look at at issues pertinent to the current election- education and poverty as well as psychology and neuroscience. Anyone in my Psychology classes can use this article as a base for one of the writing assignments and follow the additional requirements (i.e. obtain one other source). This can count towards one of the ones you need to complete.

Just a reminder that as the semester moves on you need to be aware of the writing assignments. Please see the syllabus for the details and me if you have any questions!

GENERAL UPDATE

Just a reminder that this week, Psychology 215 classes (Abnormal Psychology) need to submit a paragraph or two on their chosen character for the paper, what they believe the diagnosis is, and why they are diagnosing the character with this disorder. Remember, the paper will be on the disorder you are diagnosing.

Psychology 201 classes (Brain and Behavior) should begin to determine what topic they will be covering for the paper. Remember, you need to get this topic approved before you begin. If you are having trouble deciding on a topic let me know and I can help.

Finally, all classes appear to be on schedule to have the first test as scheduled on the syllabus. I will confirm within the next week or so.

What's in a Label?

In Psychology, we talk about the process of making a diagnosis, which is labeling the psychological disorder from which the person is suffering. The Diagnositic Statistical Manual (DSMIV) is the most widely used manual from which we diagnose. It is in the process of being updated, with the DSMV scheduled to be published in 2013. Recently, there have been numerous news articles regarding some of the proposed changes that are going to occur. On Monday, January 30th, there was an article in Newsday about how the Pervasive Developmental Disorders (i.e. Autism, Asperger's) may be changing and some potential implications of such changes. It is an excellent article to read and get a better understanding of some of the reasons we use labels in Psychology and the possible impact of them.

EXTRA CREDIT OPPORTUNITY-PSY 215 (ABNORMAL PSYCHOLOGY) CLASSES
