post-apocalyptic America
Learning Paper It is the year 3020 in post-apocalyptic America where the ancient rules of the past (aka, the 21st century) no longer apply. Nonetheless, there is still school, still classes, and still expectations that you arrive on time. You are a student who regularly arrives on time for your English class and you watch as a large number of students continually arrive late for the class. It becomes clear that the English professor is bothered by their behavior. You decide to use the information that you have learned in your Psychology class to help your professor out by advising him or her about ways to reduce tardiness. You decide to write a formal paper outlining the most effective methods for enforcing and maintaining student behaviors. Remember, your English professor will not know anything about operant conditioning, so it is your responsibility to teach them. You want to impress your professor with your creative writing, so you decide to come up with the craziest, funniest, and most outlandish suggestions.[unique_solution] Anything you teach your English professor should be cited, using the book as your citation. As usual, no direct quotes are permitted. Integrate the following four questions into your course of action: Would you recommend that the professor punish students for being late or reinforce students for being on time? Why? If the professor decides to use punishment, what type of positive punishment could they employ? What type of negative punishment? If the professor decides to use reinforcement, what type of positive reinforcement could they use? What type of negative reinforcement would be effective for reinforcing timely attendance? Once students start coming to class on time, how do you recommend the professor make sure they continue to come on time? What type of schedule of reinforcement (continuous or partial) would be best to avoid either the extinction of the behavior or eventual ineffectiveness of the reinforcement? You can be as creative as you would like with this. It doesn′t have to be academic (extra credit, loss of points, etc.) but can be anything you want. I encourage you to be funny and creative- I have received papers where students who are late must stand in a vat of pudding for half the class.
