First Week of Class Discussion Questions
1. What do students hope to get from your class? “Why are you here, today, in this
course? What can you learn about psychology?” This is a great way to start class. It
gets students involved in issues and ideas that interest them and can illustrate the
breadth of the course content.
ST
2. What role does the scientific method play in contemporary psychology? What are the
limitations of the scientific method, and are there any better alternatives available?
Students are often skeptical of the scientific method and are eager to point out its
flaws, such as the slow incremental progress it generates, its reliance on measurable
UV
phenomena, its susceptibility to experimenter biases, and its sterile methodology.
Students often fail to realize, however, that the scientific method is the best tool we
have to generate valid, reliable knowledge and that it has provided us with a wealth of
discoveries.
3. What psychological principles do you see at work in your day-to-day life?
IA
Psychological principles permeate advertising, marketing, television, movies, sales,
self-help books, fashion, politics, and folk wisdom, to name a few, but students are
often unaware of this influence. Pointing out this influence is a good way to keep your
students‘ interest. For example, the concept of ―psychological stress,‖ so prevalent in
?_
our culture, was rarely mentioned 50 years ago.
4. Ask your students how many of them believe in determinism. Then ask them how
many of them believe in free will. Insist that they cannot have it both ways. You will
be surprised to find that many, if not most, students believe in free will. This is a
AP
terrific discussion starter, because it conflicts with one of the fundamental
assumptions of science and psychology, determinism. You might ask your students
what science can hope to reveal if the world is not determined. You might also
suggest that what feels like free will to us may be thinly disguised determinism. This
PR
simple discussion is often enough to change the way students view themselves and
those around them.
5. How would a student establish an appropriate study plan? Have students consider
factors related to their own study habits and see if they can develop a realistic time
management (study) plan.
OV
Final Project Ideas
Many introductory courses involve a writing component, typically taking the form of ―pick a
ED
topic of interest to you that we‘ve discussed and write a 10-page research paper on it.‖ As an
alternative to that kind of substantial integrative exercise, you might consider the following
assignments. They are highly recommended for the greater student involvement and active
learning they engender and for their ability to help students synthesize material across the
?
entire breadth of the course.

The Game Project
Many instructors have adopted "The Game Project" instead of a major paper, and the
response has been overwhelmingly positive. Working in groups of three, students are asked
to create an original game incorporating their favorite psychological concepts. The key
