Clearly I have neglected the Weblog in 2011. Shame on me. It’s not that I haven’t had things to say … just no time to say them.
That said, I am working on two new series for the upcoming academic year. It seems foolhardy to launch academic-related series during the summer.
The first series will cover thoughts for undergraduate students to maximize their experiences at a research-intensive university. I’m really looking forward to it.
The second series will deal with the activities of my lab. Just the other day, I mentioned a bedrock article in our field (roughly let’s call it media psychology), and the student had never heard of it.
Both of these series will deal with advice I give all the time. But this Weblog will provide a semi-permanent home for these thoughts so when I forget a piece, people will still have a chance to see what I missed.
The lab series likely will launch first. I hope for the undergraduate research series to launch along side my first-ever teaching of IS 1100, the Freshman Seminar at Tech.
Looking forward to your comments.
I'm a cognitive scientist and communication scholar who manages a psychophysiology lab at Texas Tech. I teach courses about the cognitive processing of media messages and research methods.
