You'll perform your skits on Tuesday, and can find the assignment here if you need it.

reminder: your first test is Monday 9/23

This is a slight change from the original schedule I gave you at the beginning of the year - from this point on, we will be following the schedule on the syllabus.  Please be reviewing your notes over the course of the next week.  The format will be multiple choice with an open response question, which will ask you to explain how 5-6 key terms apply in a given situation.

Here's the original schedule, which we'll be keeping to for the rest of the year.

naturalistic observation assignment, late summer work and course syllabus

Here's the naturalistic observation assignment description -  it's due next Tuesday (9/17).

A block:  please bring your covered textbook Monday if you haven't shown it to me already.

Both classes:  if you haven't handed in summer work yet, it's not too late - please get it to me ASAP.  If there's a reason you haven't handed it in, talk to me individually if you have not already.

Here is a link to the course syllabus with the end-of-unit test dates for the year.

LAST assignments!

Please read the chapter from Opening Skinner's Box  that you picked up in class today and be ready for a discussion tomorrow.  Here's the assignment sheet.  If you were absent today, please still complete the written part of this assignment and do this makeup assignment to compensate for missing the discussion.

Here's the positive psychology assignment due Monday 5/20.

Here's the extra credit you can do (by Friday) based on Martin Seligman's TED talk.

Here's the 4th quarter project assignment - it's due Wednesday 5/29.

AP free response questions and answer keys

Here are the scoring rubrics and/or model answers for the free response questions on the quiz you took Thursday for D block and G block (the answer key for the question about Zoey buying a car starts on page 6 - I edited out some of the terms and replaced them with the following:  Prosocial behavior could include choosing a hybrid car because it's good for the environment.  Prosocial does not have to do with simply interacting with others, so this example needed to include something about a positive contribution to the world or a socially responsible behavior or decision.  Evolutionary psychology needed to include something about Zoe wanting to behave in a way that ensured her survival and therefore her ability to reproduce, e.g. choosing a larger car that was large and therefore safe).
