E155: Jerry Rudmann: Ardent Advocate for Undergraduate Education, Psi Beta Champion, National Leader Oct 11, 2022

Show notes

In this episode Garth interviews Jerry Rudman from Irvine Valley College in Irvine, CA. Spanning six decades, Jerry has been devoted to undergraduate education through many venues. He has contributed to APA Guidelines 1.0, 2.0, and the forthcoming 3.0 revision, as well as part of the P3 Conference and the Introductory Psychology Initiative (and more). When he starts a Psi Beta chapter at IVC in 1992, the fortunes dramatically improved for Jerry and for his students. Jerry comes from humble beginnings as a first-generation college student and then working in human factors in the aerospace industry. Like so many other legends in psychology, the content of the introductory psychology course truly drew Jerry's attention to the discipline.

E154: Jordan Wagge: Students As Scientists Advocate, Always Evolving, Always Learning, Multi-Tasking Master Sep 27, 2022

Show notes

In this episode Garth interviewed Jordan Wagge from Avila University in Kansas City, MO. Jordan is one of the international leaders in the Collaborative Replications and Education Project (CREP), with her focus on projects through a social justice, diversity, and sustainability lens. These interests may harken back to undergraduate days, when she started as a political science major before switching to psychology. She specializes in teaching statistics and research methods (to both undergraduate and graduate students), and recently, she's been examining confirmation bias in one's teaching. Jordan's habits pay off -- whether it's a preference for multi-tasking so that she can double-dip, or being persistent, as in her recent award of an NSF grant after three submissions over five years.
