bnmjy Posted February 4, 2021 Posted February 4, 2021 She says she doesn't believe in "marathon learning," so she will be checking if you log in at different times of the week and take the weekly quiz a few days after you finish the pretest. None of my other online professors I've ever had cared about this. It's always the humanities teachers, trying to make their useless subject seem more important than it really is. 😒
sahockeygrl15 Posted February 4, 2021 Posted February 4, 2021 Is she grading to this? Micromanaging at its finest.

She says it's a state requirement and the time needs to be reflected online. Yeah, like we aren't spending time reading the textbook or anything. I guess I'll just take the tests slowly, which fortunately have a timer. Her syllabus was rather aggressive and warned about sending her nasty emails, another thing I never had a professor mention. Bitch has a chip on her shoulder. 1
PhilosipherStoned Posted February 4, 2021 Posted February 4, 2021 Every one I've had has been pretty.. of need of a psych eval too. Just comes with the job man give 'em some space.

If this is some psychological shit she's pulling, I guess it makes the class somewhat more interesting. I highly doubt this though.
PhilosipherStoned Posted February 4, 2021 Posted February 4, 2021 No shit.. Again every psych prof I've had... Whatever though. Fuck school.

PhilosipherStoned Posted February 4, 2021 Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) I'm not majoring in shit honestly... Kudos for going the psychology route if that's your honest interest though bnjmy. Edited February 4, 2021 by PhilosipherStoned

This class is developmental psychology though, which I know is full of horseshit. 2

In poker this is what's known as "a tell." You wouldn't have to say that if you didn't think it was going to happen and/or has. 1
Doom Metal Alchemist Posted February 4, 2021 Posted February 4, 2021 5 hours ago, scoobdog said: She's not actually teaching Freud, is she? Yeah, modern psychology has definitely understood that Freud was full of shit. I was taught a little bit of Freud but more for historical purposes on how the field of psychology developed. My teachers never shied away from saying just about everything he thought has been more or less "debunked." Two things that modern psychology believes he was right about was that 1) dreams are the subconscious mind's way of working through one's issues through symbolism, but it's taught that Freud's interpretations of dream symbolism were dead wrong, and 2) "talk therapy" (I.E. the trope of the patient on the couch telling the psychologist / psychiatrist their problems, like you often see on TV) is a big help in therapy.

scoobdog Posted February 4, 2021 Posted February 4, 2021 Freud wasn’t full of shit, he was just wrong about most everything, as is often the case when one is the first in his or her field.

Your point still stands, as his work on physics and astronomy was built upon works of others. Plus, he was an alchemist, which meant his discipline probably wasn't as streamlined as the sciences as we think of them today. Again, I'm just shitting on psychology for the hell of it.
scoobdog Posted February 4, 2021 Posted February 4, 2021 This tangent is really off of Doom's post, though. I know you're just cracking on psych. There are really two parallel aspects to the evolution of thought, one being that an individual's ideas are built on the works of his or her forbearers, the other being that the process of developing those ideas is itself shared. What's interesting about Freud is that he's never been as important to the field of psychology as he has to, of all things, literature and writers. He certainly deserves credit for developing a system to conceptualize abstract functions of the conscious mind, but that's really just a minor contribution to the field as a whole. The most I've ever had to use Freud was in studying his use of symbols for an English paper, and that in itself is a testament to how building a framework for thought can cross disciplines and inspire creativity in areas that might not be related (although, practically speaking, literature was psychology before there was actual psychology). It's appropriate that you bring up Newton's cross discipline importance because, in this light, even his foray in alchemy starts being a relevant contribution. Anyway, you should bring this all up when you're letting your professor micromanage on top of you. 1

Students have every right to learn however they learn. It's the student's who are paying tuition and for the resources. They can use it how they want. If she pulls anything, go above her head. I mean, she can check all she wants, as long as that shit doesn't effect your grade. Edited February 6, 2021 by Stonergoth187 2
