| Annotation | US undergraduate students provided quantitative and qualitative evaluations of the usefulness of a variety of experiential activities in a course on the Psychology of Adulthood and Ageing. They evaluated the degree to which they felt an exercise or project had facilitated their learning of the course material. Thirteen experiential activities and projects were rated. The results suggest that on average, students perceived each activity to be helpful. The Elder Mentor Project and a new variation of an activity, the Cognitive Assessment Demonstration, received the highest ratings. It appears that highly interpersonal activities were perceived by students to be the most valuable in helping their learning. Their written comments reveal that learning occurred on a personal level for several activities. (RH). |
