Psychology 203 has a unique aspect to the course this semester. This is the first time that we will be introducing peer mentors to this 400-person lecture class. There will be five peer mentors and one peer mentor liaison joining our classroom. The peer mentors will be in class everyday and you are all more than welcome to ask them questions outside of class; this includes class-related questions or university-wide related questions. All of the peer mentors are third and fourth year students that have all sat where you now sit and might be able to provide valuable advice going forward in your academic careers.
The Blog
Beginning in next week’s classes, the peer mentors will be blogging following each class. Their blog will cover the topic/theme of this class in a unique way. Each blog will discuss a popular myth in psychology and how that relates to the class at that time. Reading the blog is up to you, but the entries will shed valuable light on the role that psychology plays in everyday misconceptions and myths about human behavior and reading these entries will certainly benefit your understanding of our class.
Peer Mentor Meetings
Each week one of our peer mentors will be holding a peer mentor meeting. Attendance at these meetings is not mandatory, but the meetings could be helpful in your studies. Each meeting will be announced prior to that week’s class so that you have time to organize your schedule if you are interested to attend.
