PBL or Case Studies!

Hey fellow Psychology instructors. I love problem based learning or Case Studies for teaching my Psychology class. Dr. Plotnik hooked me and now every chapter starts with a case study.

If you are interested in getting a copy email me and invite one more person to our Classroom 2.0 group! (What a salesman I…See More

Well hello again! I have uploaded documentation for you on ice cube addiction. In a nutshell the students are told that from that day on they must have an ice cube in ALL of their beverages -- even me! They must not talk about it or explain in to…

Yes, I would be interested in seeing the ice cube addiction lab! Sounds cool! Is your AP class a 1 or 2 semester class? What text book do you use? We are currently doing textbook adoption in Indiana, so I'd be interested in any feedback you…
