Hey guys,

Did anyone else here write the psych 2ap3 midterm today? I just wanted your thoughts on those crazy textbook questions. I searched the textbook after the midterm, and had a hard hard time finding some of those answers, if any that matched. :(

Thats why you dont take psych courses, sure they're interesting... but its always bullshit testing.

Hey!
I'm in that class lol
and I'm doing the same thing, actually -- skimming the text to try to find those terms. :S
I still can't find them, LOL

but other than that, I think it was fair.
A couple of the questions from the practise quiz were on it, WORD FOR WORD, which was a nice little surprise, lol.

Overalll, it was okay.

hey monica,

let me know if you find any? Honestly i couldn't find shit !!!

Maybe he had a brain cramp and used the old textbook from last year?? lol

It's a Dr. Day course, that was a third year course last year (and a decently challenging 3rd year course as well), it's bound to still be a bit difficult.

hey tail snake, its not that it was hard, just his textbook questions (only answerable from reading the textbook).

cant seem to find the answers!!

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who had a "wtf" moment during the test! I don't remember ever coming across half of the content in the textbook questions. The only one I recalled was that 10% of Canadians have some sort of mental illness. It seemed like there was hardly anything from chapters 2 or 3, so I don't even know where half the questions came from. :S But, other than that, it wasn't so bad!

wtf i couldnt find any of the text questions other than 15-24

Great, I got that one wrong! I initially chose that but changed it to 25-44 or whatever that option was because it (a) includes more people and (b) I figure as life goes on one is more apt to experience stressors like divorce. Oh well, I hope I still did well anyways!

actually, ALL of the questions that weren't text questions were from his practice quizzes. and yeaaa wtf i can't find ANY of them except for those ones mentioned. virginia douglas isn't even in the name index!

I heard a rumour they came from the old textbook...don't know for sure though. If you look at his announcement on the forum, he's posted how the class did. 16% failed.

That would make me feel a lot better, haha. The like few things I didn't remember from the readings were tested and all the stuff that I did know wasn't! Oh well, at least I know better for next time. I think I found the answer for the one about conduct disorder and I think it's that a significant minority develop antisocial personality disorder later on in life. Again, I put that it's over half, thinking that would make more intuitive sense.

wtfffffffffffffffffff ffffffffffff, if they came from the old textbook, then how is that fair???

Man, his lecture questions were def. fair, but he specifically said text questions would come from butcher didnt he???

Should we email him or something guys?

Definitely going to send an email if I'm not the only one who had a hard time with the textbook questions. D:
Could not find any of the things he asked in the text.
I still want to know what Virginia Douglas did, I totally had to guess on that question. >.<

and WTF, I had 15-24, then I switched it.
FML FML FML :(

I think she helped categorize hyperactivity or something? idk she was on google lol.
