Using Podcasts for Content

5/17/2018

Podcasts are one of the main ways that I keep up-to-date on news and research in psychology. They give me a chance to learn about topics outside my field, all while keeping me hands free. This allows me to learn about the world around me while commuting to school, working on monotonous data tasks, or doing chores around the house.
​
After Ciara’s post on using YouTube videos in the classroom, I thought about putting together a list of podcasts for the classroom. Podcasts could be used as a tool for students, to help them make the most of students’ increasingly busy schedules.

Guest Post: First Year Reflection

5/15/2018

Guest Contributor: Dr. Brian Day, Butler University

My charge is to write something of a reflection about my first year as a tenure-track faculty member. As I sit here, on the same day I submitted my final grades for the spring semester, officially done with my first year, my viewpoint is not one of backward-looking reflection, but rather forward-looking excitement. Alas, some reflection is in order, especially to explain why I am so excited for the future.

Timeline for Applying to Graduate Schools

5/11/2018

0 Comments

 
A question we are often asked by students curious about graduate school is when should they start looking into programs, studying for the GRE, etc. We've developed a tentative timeline to hopefully answer these questions!

​We present this with one caveat. This timeline is an “ideal” and would start after your junior year assuming you want to start grad school the fall after you graduate with your Bachelor’s. However, this could be condensed if you got a late start, or it could be started later if you want to take a year off.

Graduate school: Does location matter?

5/9/2018

0 Comments

 
​When deciding where to go to graduate school, students often ask questions about where to apply. Some students express interests in Ivy League universities, attracted to the prestige. Some students confine their applications to universities close to home. Other students have a wide pool of applications, focusing on research and faculty interests. 

​To help undergraduates that are considering to apply to graduate school, we asked current graduate students at The University of Texas at El Paso to weigh in on the factors that guided their decisions for where to apply to school.
