Class Evaluation



This class was actually really fun. Most days, I looked forward to psychology cause we always learn something unique. My favorite part of psychology would have to be the activities that includes all the videos and short clips related to psychology. I did not realize that there were so many psychological aspects to our everyday life.


Project wise, I like most of the projects which are overall enjoyable. Personally, I am more of a creative person so I like having a "coloring" sort of class rather than a class where we just take notes and have writing activities.

                   


There was not really anything I really disliked about the class, I just felt really unprepared for the quizzes and tests. I felt like I was learning all the material, but it didn't seem to help me on the quizzes/tests because it was all application. Though I did take the class for granted in the beginning of the year, I started to study more and more as the year went on. Taking it for granted was a bad mistake....

I don't think there should be anything left out next year. The way the material is presented makes it more interesting so it helps in keeping students awake. All the projects and activities also help in learning the concepts which is a big plus because we learn and have fun at the same time.

All the material was taught well, but one thing that would probably make it better is to maybe have practice multiple choice. Though I learned the material, I felt unprepared for all the quizzes/tests. The concepts seems straight forward at first glance but when it comes to being tested over them, it can get pretty confusing.




Hm... one thing to go over..... I would say everything but that is impossible. So I would like to be reviewed most on one of the topics from the 1st nine weeks. I feel like I forgot everything I learned as I looked at the exam review.

Psychology games!


Lateral thinking IQ puzzle test

I got 4 correct which is an IQ of about 130. That is around what I got for my IQ practice test we did in class! I thought these questions were pretty hard... On the ones I didn't get, I had to look at some of the hints they gave for the question. 

Brainbashers

I looked into the illusions section and saw a bunch of optical illusions and fractual images. On the optical illusions, I found myself trying to find the multiple images in one picture as it wanted me to. It was kind of hard. I had to think a lot about it and ask a few friends. 

Lumosity

I started playing some of the memory games on this and found it very hard to focus. It was fun, but after a while, I kept getting the wrong answers. I think I have a very short memory time span when it comes to memorizing images or words.
