The View From Carnegie 210

I have to admit that I was somewhat nervous when our first Sunday Morning episode started this week. I'm convinced that the show has a lot to offer...but I didn't know if I would be able to find readings and follow-up information on the stories on a week to week basis. However, I have to say I think we did a good job with the first episode. I think our discussion of Positive Psychology should give you all a good idea of what article discussions in upper level psych classes might be like (of course, they usually tend to be a little more in-depth and cover a lot more about design, implications, etc.). And I enjoyed hearing the stories that you all were brave enough to share. I've been telling my colleagues I have a really interesting group of students...and I got to see that again on Thursday. The only topic we didn't get to that I wanted to touch on was the musical instrument story--I think there is a lot to debate there in terms of how music may positively impact student performance and how we make decisions regarding how to use charitable funds, etc. Enjoy the show on Sunday!
