Psychology Society

Aims:

1. Academically focussed
   To start a society on campus with an academic focus as opposed to what other societies offer in terms of fun. This society aims to improve people’s revision and learning skills which are considered in more demand than fingerpainting or egg and spoon racing for example.
    
2. Interactive and engaging
   Whilst a psychology society aims to help people learn more about the subject it should do so in a fun and engaging way. Such examples would be a various use of classroom materials from Kahoot quizzes, flipchart discussions, group projects and sociable study sessions. This compared to the monotonous tasking of sitting behind the computer by oneself will be much more preferred.

Social:

            Social gatherings are intended to create a positive ethos and a friendly atmosphere. These range from any and all suggestions from society members which may include the following two categories: 

Drinking based

• karaoke nights at the Ember Lounge 
• nights out to Gobble at the LRV 
• Psychology in the pub at the Glebe

Vibed-out revision based

• outdoor revision sessions during the warmer days in Hanley Park 
• relaxed evening study sessions at the on-campus cafe

Platforms:

            Microsoft Teams, Instagram/Facebook and in-person classrooms provide the society with the capacity of blended learning. This means all members shall remain interconnected both physically and virtually in sociable and informative ways.

Time:

            The psychology society will be held on Mondays at 1700hrs as this gives both remote learners not on campus sufficient travel time and enough rest for those already on campus having finished any lesson at 1600hrs. Monday is the start of the week and so motivation is high and does not conflict with any nights out as it is less likely someone will want to get drunk on a Monday night. The session will take no less than 1 hour but hopefully no more as dinner is usually at 1800hrs also.
