DUE DATES- LATE (-10%)

Review Syllabus/DP (10 min) Syllabus: Review the Syllabus with the class. Then students:
5 minutes for Lori to answer any remaining questions. Make sure to hit:
Four Corners: Psychology is not a science. (10 min) Freewrite (hint, for the first question, you’ll probably have to think about a definition of science!). Go to a corner. Talk to others in your corner to confirm position. Share and debate.
What do we study in Psychology? (10 min) Big Question: Nature/nurture debate: Controversy over the relative contributions of biology and experience in human thought and behavior. Now not really a debate.

Psychology and Common Sense (10 min) Common Sense Quiz Frame this as a pre-assessment, to assess current knowledge level. May seem easy, that’s okay!
TOMORROW: We will be looking at some specific biases that sometimes make our common sense nonsense, and jumping into qualitative research methods (it’s sexier than it sounds, I promise).
