My lessons are very relaxed with a focus on helping students tackle psychology topics that they would like to prioritise learning about and brushing up on where appropriate. I use power point presentations to display key information in a concise format whilst verbally diving into the details. I like to go over course content using real-world everyday events/things as examples as I believe this is the easiest way for students to retain new information and enjoy learning about psychology topics which might come across as boring or uninteresting in their textbooks. I like to finish lessons with short quizzes that test students on the content they have just learnt to ensure information has been retained effectively and to identify any potential difficulties students may have with particular areas of the topics that have been explored in the lesson so that they can be revisited in future to make sure they have been properly understood. I also like to introduce new methods of presenting information for learning using novel technological sources/avenues such as AI which can help students tackle difficult topics and areas of psychology by re-introducing information in alternative formats so that students are more confident in their ability to learn about psychology and perform in their academic testing be it via exams or essays.
