What is Success?
Getting along with classmates; making new friends
Getting along with the instructor; setting him up for a latter letter of recommendation
Learning the content of the classGetting a good grade
![Page 6: 1 Psychology 1230: Adolescence Don Hartmann Fall 2005 Lecture 1b: Succeeding in Psych. 1230](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032310/56649d805503460f94a65232/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Peer Relations
How to improve your relations with classmates: Change seats so that you are exposed
to more classmates Introduce yourself to the people sitting around you Walk to or away from the class with classmates If you are very shy, mention that when you introduce
yourself. Try to initiate conversations Be helpful to classmates—e.g., sharing notes, study
guide answers Be dependable in your commitments to classmates Be sensitive to alternative values/life styles of your
classmates—critical to maintaining a safe classroom
![Page 7: 1 Psychology 1230: Adolescence Don Hartmann Fall 2005 Lecture 1b: Succeeding in Psych. 1230](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032310/56649d805503460f94a65232/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Relations with the Professor (1)
Smile on occasion—this is not a darkened theatre but instead is a community of individuals who share a number of goals
Avoiding thoughtless irritations such as walking out in the middle of a lecture without advance warning, walking down the center isle in front of the professor during the lecture, leaving your cell phone on
Interact with the professor, both in class, between classes, and in his office
Consult with the professor about your term paper--repeatedly!

Relations with the Professor (2)
If you have a problem with the professor, talk with him about it. Don’t seethe
The professor might be of use to you as: A letter writer Someone who may be forced to make decisions
about you when the situation is ambiguous Someone who knows something about the
Psychology Department, graduate schools, and how to succeed more generally in the University
A mentor

Learning the Content: Motivation
Have goals within the context of the class, and use the class material to help achieve those goals; e.g., to help you understand why your sister is afraid of Boy Scouts
Be personally reflective about the content. I.e., How does this stuff on early puberty apply to me?
Strive to get a good grade and have the instructor think highly of you for a future LOR

Learning the Content: Process
Studying Read the text on a regular basis & in digestible bits.
Do not get behind in the readings Assume that disasters will happen (e.g., misplacement of text,
loss of girl friend, car breakdown) Engage the professor and other students about
content—in class and out of class Teach your parents/partner about adolescent
psychology Relate the class material to material about adolescents
you read and watch in the mass media
![Page 12: 1 Psychology 1230: Adolescence Don Hartmann Fall 2005 Lecture 1b: Succeeding in Psych. 1230](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032310/56649d805503460f94a65232/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Performing Well: Participation
Keep track on a daily basis of what should be done when—and then do it and record. Be organized!
Be sensitive to other members of classIf you are shy, rehearse a simple
question that you can state in class
![Page 13: 1 Psychology 1230: Adolescence Don Hartmann Fall 2005 Lecture 1b: Succeeding in Psych. 1230](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032310/56649d805503460f94a65232/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
![Page 14: 1 Psychology 1230: Adolescence Don Hartmann Fall 2005 Lecture 1b: Succeeding in Psych. 1230](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032310/56649d805503460f94a65232/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Performing Well: Term Paper (1)
Begin thinking about topic early in the semester
Read the term paper handout & slides about the term paper
Talk to mother/partner if mindless about topic Talk to professor. Also
Check with him about references Send him abstract & a sample reference
Read sample papers on reserve
![Page 15: 1 Psychology 1230: Adolescence Don Hartmann Fall 2005 Lecture 1b: Succeeding in Psych. 1230](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032310/56649d805503460f94a65232/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Performing Well: Term Paper (2)
Check class WEB resources regarding writing term papers
Find an editor, perhaps from your study group, who is dependable & prompt
Get a draft of your paper to at least one editor at least a week before paper is due
If necessary, consult with writing lab in Marriott Reread the term paper handout, noting frequently
made errors and material to be handed in—including an evaluation of the writing experience.
Check to see if your references look like those in the reference section of the text and that your text citations look like those in the text
![Page 16: 1 Psychology 1230: Adolescence Don Hartmann Fall 2005 Lecture 1b: Succeeding in Psych. 1230](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032310/56649d805503460f94a65232/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Performing Well: The Quizzes (1)
Read the text with the study guide in hand Jot down text pages for answer on study guide Jot down study guide question number on relevant page of
text Join a study group
Compare study guide answers with at least one member of study group well before quiz. Resolve discrepancies by reference to text/lecture notes, and if that doesn’t work, a third classmate or the professor
Have a member of the study group compare answers with other study group members during class review sessions; transmit that information to other members of study group
![Page 17: 1 Psychology 1230: Adolescence Don Hartmann Fall 2005 Lecture 1b: Succeeding in Psych. 1230](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032310/56649d805503460f94a65232/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Performing Well: The Quizzes (2)
Note that quizzes cannot be taken early or late
Appeal if appropriate, but don’t whineKeep old study guides & corrected
copies of previous quizzes—in case you need to take the final
![Page 18: 1 Psychology 1230: Adolescence Don Hartmann Fall 2005 Lecture 1b: Succeeding in Psych. 1230](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032310/56649d805503460f94a65232/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Performing Well: Extra Credit
Unless you are an A student and almost always perform well, get at least 5 extra-credit points. Participating in WEB discussions is a fairly painless method of
accruing extra-credit points Collecting cartoons suitable for the class can be an enjoyable
method of obtaining extra credit. Remember to email them with a short description of the class content for which they are appropriate
If you don’t usually perform well and if you performed poorly on the first quiz, get at least 10 extra-credit points Doing a supplemental project is an efficient method of getting
a big hunk of extra-credit points
![Page 19: 1 Psychology 1230: Adolescence Don Hartmann Fall 2005 Lecture 1b: Succeeding in Psych. 1230](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032310/56649d805503460f94a65232/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Perform Well: Other
Download lectures on a regular basis Keep track of when handouts are available, and download
handouts soon after they are placed on the WEB Provide the instructor with prompt and useful feedback. Try to
include some positives along with critical feedback. If you can’t think of anything positive, lie!
If the professor does favors for you—such as scheduling and attending review sessions, acknowledge the favor. In general, reinforce behaviors that you like or that benefits you
Use exemplary models whenever they are provided at Marriott Anticipate problems, and try to lay down a plan for their early
solution (e.g., the rabbit died, and my girlfriend appear to be 3 months pregnant).
Do not use avoidance in response to anxiety! Ask for help, support, and assistance if and when you need it
