Thank you @ProfJoeKim for your interesting talk today - Academic Productivity: Focusing on What Really Matters. Hearing you speak takes me back to my undergraduate days when I took #MacIntroPsych courses. What a great way to celebrate Postdoctoral Appreciation Week @McMasterU!

Review week for #MacIntroPsych and I advise students to trust the study process you have invested in and block out last minute chatter of everyone gathering at the MidTerm. Listen to an inspiring playlist instead. I like the (original) Superman theme. What song do you suggest?

I heard that if you give an assignment to smart and motivated people, cool things happen. In my Science of Teaching and Learning class, students were challenged to come up with a lab activity for a future #MacIntroPsych tutorial to collect data and test out competing hypotheses..

@BrendaSmithChan @ToadieYPQ I was drawing on this example that I use in my #MacIntroPsych class when we discuss the human ability to effortlessly categorize exemplars. Things get tricky when asked if the following items are sandwiches: pizza, tacos, hot dogs...

Personal update: Had my last #MacIntroPsych lecture of the term last night and I'm treating myself this morning to a homemade Shakshuka pizza with bacon. That is all.

I asked my #MacIntroPsych class today and received 100s of posts with words of advice to my daughter on #iwd2021

We discussed the neuroscience of free will today in #MacIntroPsych and generated lots of interesting discussion. Here's a few emerging comments:

Working from home during a pandemic while parenting can be challenging, but it does provide new opportunities for collaboration. I think the #MacIntroPsych students are going to like this lesson on the amygdala. soundcloud.com/user-581831538…

Google docs is now back online. If you have notes on the server, we recommend that you log in and download directly onto your computer to be safe. Good luck on the #MacIntroPsych exam today everyone!

Be warned #MacIntroPsych students: When schemas and the normative function of social influence get you into a pillow fight with Buddy the Elf... youtu.be/iKZab6YSysk

This week in #MacIntroPsych we consider how the themes of the course interact with social behaviour and the influence of others: tinyurl.com/y53xpruu

@proftucker Here's an interesting side story: Normally we provide bagels at our weekly tutorial preview meetings for #MacIntroPsych TAs. This year, we used the budget to send a semester's worth of bagels to each TA to freeze and then enjoy during our online meetings😀.

In #MacIntroPsych class today we talked about how we can become aware of and change implicit associations which affect our judgments and behaviour. For an interesting twist on gender biases, check out @manwhohasitall

This week in #MacIntroPsych we will explore how we form impressions: when cognition and behaviour meets social interaction. Check out these commercials which draw on social schemas that guide our expectations. youtube.com/watch?v=Qy0ZzR… youtube.com/watch?v=cNsUZG…

Get ready @RealHughJackman OR @VancityReynolds, we are looking for exactly one celebrity endorsement for our #MacIntroPsych course (the largest introductory psychology course in Canada) @McMasterU. There can be only one.

During my #MacIntroPsych lecture tonight on Attention, I made 4 outfit changes (including switching to glasses). Did you notice all the changes?

That's right #MacIntroPsych students, we all stink at multitasking!

I've noticed that #MacIntroPsych students *really* want to connect and be heard in this year of online learning. In lecture today, we had about 300 questions and comments in an hour! The question that evoked the most comments "Is a pizza a sandwich?"

Do you have an important message to be delivered to your #MacIntroPsych peers? Create a TikTok video that teaches a concept to-be-tested on the QuizTerm, and tag us @intropsychtiktok #MacIntroPsychtiktok. The top posts by Oct 29, 11:59pm win immortality (and UberEats cards)

#MacIntroPsych students please note that MSTeams is currently down and the 7pm lecture is cancelled. A recording will be posted when the website is operational. Apologies for the inconvenience.
