What did you like about the class?
I loved the movies that taught us the concepts and terms of psychology. The videos and visuals helped a lot in studying for the tests.
What was your favorite activity or project?
My favorite project was of the different kinds of visuals and we had to teach the class of all the chapters for our test. We got visual perception, and I liked all of the kinds of tricky visuals.
What didn"t you like about the class?
This class was very enjoyable. I did not like that our class this year had to waste so much time doing the study guides in the beginning of the year. If we could have done the CAAG in the first place, we could have been able to study better and earn our desired grade in the class.
What do you think I should leave out next year?
You shouldn't leave out anything. This class was again very enjoyable.
Do you have any suggestions or ideas for things I could do next year in AP Psych?
You should make them do the study guides from the study guide book and then change it to CAAG and teach them a lesson over how copying the book doesn't help. Just to make it fair. You can also put more movies in the lesson.
Do you have any suggestions or ideas for next semester in AP Econ?
I will not be taking AP Econ, but I hope it won't be hard next year.

Week 5: Dire Consequences of Procrastination
Procrastination
A study shows that 15 to 20% of adults put things off to the last minute. Experts estimate that 40 percent of people have experienced a financial loss because of procrastination, in some cases severe. In 2002 Americans overpaid $473 million in taxes as a result of rushing and consequent errors. And Americans’ dearth of retirement savings can be attributed, in part, to people putting off putting away cash. Procrastination is a learned trait, and it can be learned very easily, but knowing why people procrastinate will eventually lead to finding a way to teach people not to procrastinate. Procrastination for students could be from the task becoming to hard, or not thinking its important. It then becomes a habit and a bigger thing to overcome. I agree that this article has very good points. The reason why some kids are sometimes lazy is that they think of the task as too hard or maybe they don't understand the task given at hand. Teachers should be more guiding to students, but adults that face this problem should find a way to overcome it. They aren't children anymore.
