Social psychology (psychology)/Lectures/Introduction/Instructor notes

There were several issues in 2007 which were meant to be considered for 2008, but weren't (due to unavailability of files due to computer rebuild):

Thus, most issues from 2007 remain to be done:

History

The slides were the first prepared in OOImpress, based on:
- 2005 Lecture 1
- The new Textbook - Baumeister, including the demo PPT text slides
2008 - Small/minimal improvements.
- added design template
- removed ~10-15 slides to make is shorter
- lightly edited/reviewed
added/improved some text/images

Remove animation
Check layout - some overlapping text
Add attributions for all images
Shorten (it was far too long): Culture & Nature should be shifted into the next week with Social Self
Add more examples of “social psychology” situations (e.g., as per p. 4-5 in Baumeister & Bushman, 2008.
Take account of (and incorporate 2005 Lecture 2 History and Research) (major oversight)
Incorporate textbook digital images (if available)
Listen to 2005 audio & 2007 & 2008 audio/video & review/write-up accordingly
Add age of universe
Add quote from book about being on planet earth
Add quote from Buckminster Fuller about spaceship earth
Animations needs to be fixed/stripped
Sometimes multiple clicks are needed to go to the next slide
Add page numbers

Handout should not include planet slides
However, slide-numbers also need to be added (reconcile with previous point - must be a way to hide these slides from appearing in the handout)
An intention was to play something interesting before the start and/or during the break, e.g.,
"Beijing Welcomes You" for the 2008 Olympics - however, a sound/audio cable out was needed.

If well presented, students can find this introduction 'engaging' in part due to the style (aka Dick Hardt's Identity 2.0 presentation)
