Biopsychology Off To An Interesting Start

My correct Biopsychology textbook arrived today, via US Mail, so I got started on the course. The first quiz, due on Tuesday, has been finished, so now I can relax and work on getting ahead in the course. The instructor who wrote the course is not the same as the instructor who is teaching the […]

Textbook Flub

Whenever I am not suspicious of something potentially going wrong and just trust things, then things go wrong. All of my textbooks for Summer arrived on time, and I thought everything was good, until the department chair sent out a memo stating that the bookstore had sent the wrong books to students. I checked, and […]

Summer I 2009 Semester Opens

The first summer session at Fayetteville opened this morning. My Stat course opened last night, but my Biopsychology (Physiological Psychology) course was not activated until a few minutes ago. Everything for this semester seemed to be going very well until today. My books for the semester arrived last week and I was able to register […]

Procrastination Strikes Again

For the past several weeks I have been highly focused on my work in my psychology courses, and now that they are over, I can focus on the courses that I have been giving a little less attention. No course is so abandoned as my art history course. The course is self-paced, so everything I […]

First PSYC Grade Posted

I know its kind of silly, but I am really happy that my first grade as a psychology major has been posted. Unfortunately, it will likely be another full week before the other class grade is posted, even though I completed PSYC 421 first. It is pretty much up to the instructor to decide if […]

Teaching Chancellor

Reviewing the Fall 2009 schedule for Fayetteville I ran across something somewhat interesting. Dr. James A. Anderson, 11th (current) Chancellor of Fayetteville State University, is teaching General Psychology (PSYC 210) on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:45PM to 8PM. I reviewed the available information and determined that he is qualified to teach it, but why would […]

Academic Software Problems

I don’t quite understand why academic administrative software is written quite the way it is. At every academic institution I have ever attended, the student side of things is quite incomplete compared to the information that the registrar is able to see. There was an issue earlier of whether or not Fayetteville had recorded the […]

Final/Group Presentation Madness

In Theories of Personality (PSYC 310) this semester, there was a group project. Groups were assigned after mid-term. I have never liked group projects because of the awkward interpersonal aspects of them, and the difficulty of getting started. Somehow I always manage to end up in the leadership role in groups that I am in […]
