I enjoyed the section in chapter 7 dealing with Skinner and Pavlov's research. I have a psychology degree and focused much of my coursework on learning theories. I regularly apply operant conditioning principals in my classroom with excellent results. Too bad they won't allow skinner boxes at my school!
I teach Excel and assign a project identical to the survey project we did in class. My assignment's a little more elaborate though. I have them do ten questions, five formulas and three charts. Good times...
I really enjoy excel and am using Word less and less as I find Excel far more user friendly for making lists, forms etc. Formulas and charts are really fun and easy once you get the hang of them. I recently made a trip budget in Excel. Once the form was complete I was able to put the expenses in and have Excel automatically calculate totals and subtract them from the budget. Very nice...

Yes, those psychologists are here to stay. Excel is cool.
have you had past experience with excel. i kcant seemto get it, i am getting so angery with the whole program.
wow, an excel king. i've always hated to use excel but i can honestly say i never really put any effort in actually learning how to properly use it (no wonder its always hard). i did, however, enjoy the excel assignment, but the skill check was a little hard don'tcha think? ( okay, well u can atleast pretend;]
Well kudos on teaching Excel. It can be trying at times. The charts part would be quite useful, in my opinion. And I still don't really know how to do that, although I don't know if I have the motivation to really bother learning either.
