First class of the semester

WOW...that is literally the only way to describe my first class. The lecturer is truly brilliant. He is my course advisors mentor and she really wasnt kidding when she told us just how great this guy is or that he will shake up our very ideas and beliefs regarding psychology, learning and behaviour. In one class he told us that everything I have learnt and done in the past 6 years relating to cognitive psychology was in fact behaviourism as cognitive psychology (to him) is nothing more than a myth. Basically everything we do is due to the interaction we have with the environment and our past and present experiences. The future doesnt exist. It was a really interesting class. I was starting to feel a bit bad though as he'd ask us questions and I was feeling like the only person answering them though I am hoping that the others will start to answer more as they get used to the subject matter. We are still waiting on our syllabus but it sounds as though we will have 2 exams and possibly a paper to complete for this class which shouldnt be too bad. Anyway off to bed as tomorrow is an early start and start into my practicum for most of the day plus another class in the late afternoon. Hopefully tomorrow I will get an opportunity to talk further with Dr Sharon Reeve regarding my study plan for the remainder of my degree.
