The student reported that her Psychology test was nothing like she expected. For the next unit, I had her begin reading through the chapter, paying special attention to any blurbs on the page or topics the authors wanted to highlight. We're going to focus on concepts more than terms for the next test.
The student requested help with her term paper for research methods. She and a partner had done a nicely-designed experimental study, and she was looking for help with APA-style formatting and citation, and with making sure her interpretation of the study results and previous literature were accurate. Also, as an international student, she wanted help making sure that her grammar was up to par. We went over the paper in detail, fixing up citations, correcting grammatical mistakes, and discussing different ways to interpret and convey the findings of her study.
Today, the student and I went over the reading assignments for her abnormal psych class. The first was a chapter on the history of abnormal psychology. We covered what constitutes "abnormal" mental states, the difficulty of separating cultural and social norms from judgement of psychological states, ancient precedents in the field of mental health, and important movements and figures in the field from the Renaissance to today. We then went over a study on mental illness among inmates that discussed the move toward deinstitutionalization.
During this session we reviewed the information she has had so far in her psychology. We went into detail about how neurons and synapses work. The student is a visual learner, so diagramming seems to work very well for the both of us. We are meeting again tomorrow, in order to start research on her first Critique Paper due on Tuesday.
During today's session, the student and I worked on preparing her for her psychology test. We covered a number of topics, including different concepts of psychiatric illness, approaches to treatment, different forms of assessment, components of a study, the basis for psychiatric illness, and pharmacological interventions. We made good progress, and we were able to get through all of the required material within the session. Since we had a little extra time, we also went over a writing assignment she had. I looked it over for grammar and content, and I was pleased with what I saw. Overall, the session was highly productive.
The student and I again studied for his Social Studies test on Friday. He had two more worksheets he needed to finish in preparation for studying, so we did those two as well. With the time left, he showed me what he was doing in both Science and Math in preparation for quizzes and tests next week.
