Psicología del aprendizaje: trucos psicológicos para conseguir buenas notas

This class is ideal for students who have an interest in the beginnings of psychology, and the science of how we learn.  

No prior experience is needed, only an interest in learning about research related to learning and how to apply the findings to academics.

Because research says students learn better when relaxed, learners will not be called on.  Participation is welcomed, but never demanded. Opportunities for participation are provided in the form of chat box polls.

We'll cover the basics of the psychology of learning, and the earliest experiments conducted to understand how we learn. Some of these experiments were so outrageous, no researcher would be allowed today to repeat these experiments. We'll also discuss some more recent research on the mechanics of learning.

We'll also talk about hacks, which come from the experiment results, that students can use to improve their own learning abilities and academic performance.

I have a structured, yet humor-filled teaching style, designed to keep student's interest and spark discussion.  I'll use slides to reinforce concepts as well.
