  2. Make Up Work
    1. Missing stuff?  Get it to me by the end of this week!​​
  3. ​Genie Extra Credit
    1. ​Write 2-3 paragraphs on the following topic  
    2. Responses should draw from class content and lectures, and from the book (hint, if you don't quote the book, you're probably doing it wrong!)
    3. Topic 1: Child Development:  Discuss connections between Genie's development and one or more of the theories we learned about in class (Piaget, Eriksson, Attachment Theory).  Make sure you use specific examples from the book to support your analysis.

Genie: A Scientific Tragedy
  • It’s HARD.  Annotate, look things up. 
  • We will have a seminar + graded reflection when we're done with this book, and will check in to summarize and check for understanding frequently.
  • Aiming for general understanding—okay if you don’t get everything!
  • Chapters 1-4 by Friday.  Chapters 5-12 by Tuesday.
    • 1 = Intro, Psamtik
    • 2, 3, 4 = Genie’s story and discovery, background
    • 5, 6, 7 = Linguistic Theories
    • 8, 9, 10 = What research would be done, Genie’s development
    • 11, 12 = Feral children, ethics, scientific priorities

Genie Notes/Annotations:
  1. Child Development:  What stages/types of development do you notice?  Make connections to the theories of child development and attachment, and to the linguistic stages.
  2. Linguistic Theory: What evidence does Genie provide for innate vs. learning theories?  What linguistic development do you see in her story?
  3. Ethics:  Was Genie exploited?  Were the scientists ethical in the way they structured their research and treated her?

HOMEWORK
Finish reading and annotating/taking notes through Chapter 12 by TUESDAY of next week.

Social Psychology Test- Study Time!

3/11/2019

0 Comments

 
Use the Study Guide to self-assess.  Go through, and next to each number, do the following:
  1. STAR if you think you could answer this right now, without studying
  2. SQUARE if you think you  could answer this with just a little review
  3. X if you need to study this quite a bit

Index Card- For this test, you may have with you 1/2 index card with writing on ONE side of it.  You must have these cards finalized by the end of class on THURSDAY.

Prioritize!
On the back of your study guide, or in your notes make a list of three topics, divided by their self-assessment categories.  The stuff that should go on your index cards are the things with Xs by them!

Individual Review
For this option, you will work individually, though you can certainly consult with other people as you review to fill in gaps in your knowledge or check your information.  You should follow these steps:
  1. Go through the study sheet.  Using your notes, and the resources I have linked on the docs page of this DP, create a new set of notes that specifically answers each of the study questions on the study guide.
  2. Now, using your new notes from the study guide, create a set of study materials.  Flash cards, Quizlet, index card, whatever helps you the best.  Use them!

HOMEWORK:
​Study for TEST on FRIDAY!!!
