I am the Course Director for Psychology 1010, and I look forward to working with you in the course. A few things about me:
- My undergrad major was mathematics
- I am a professor in both the Psychology Department and the Writing Department
- Other courses I have taught recently include Educational Psychology, Cultural Psychology, and Critical Thinking in Psychology
- During the past few summers I have taught Intro Psych and Social Psych at East China Normal University in Shanghai
- I am interested in studying the academic problems encountered in the transition from high school to university. I am particularly interested in:
- how to facilitate the transition from memorizing to thinking critically
- how cultural differences affect the HS to Uni transition for international students
- how students make meaning of their educational experiences, and how these meanings influence learning.
- how to facilitate the transition from memorizing to thinking critically
I enjoy teaching and hope you will learn more than you ever imagined possible in the course.
Best wishes for success to all.
