Psych 101

I'm, er, "helping" my husband's nephew w/his Psychology 101 course. I'm getting further reminders of why I hated high-school & more evidence is gaining towards the fact that I most likely will never go back to school. Even mortuary school. Just trying to find time for the course assignments, reading, note taking, etc. while working full time is going to prove interesting. I won't be getting him many participation points, that's fer sure. I've got 6 2 - 3 paragraph "discussion topics", 6 1 - 2 pg. "research articles", a 10 - 15 pg. term paper, (I've got ADHD of the pen/keyboard, there is no one subject so interesting to me that I can ramble on aimlessly about for even 5 or 6 pgs., not to mention 10 - 15.) & I've got to slog thru 2 chapters a week (80 pgs of reading a week is not really a big challenge but it's dry. Very dry) Right now I'm lost in the world of axons, neurotransmitters, action & graded potentials, etc. & so forth - I went from psychology to neural quantum physics. At least the brain stuff is interesting. If damage occurs to the left hemisphere of the parietal lobe, the person can lose the ability to read & write & may have loss of awareness of the position or placement of one of more body parts (what a perfect sexual harrassment defense: "Your honor, I was unaware that I was touching her breast - the left side of my parietal lobe has been damaged...") but if the right side of the parietal lobe is damaged, you may lose awareness of the entire left side of your body - you may end up brushing only the right side of your hair, or the teeth on the right side of your mouth, or shaving only your right leg or the right side of your face. That would be odd.
The professor is out of his mind, too. This is Psych 101, Introduction to Psychology. His syllabus is 15 pages long. I've discovered I have a problem coming up w/things to write about. He doesn't give us any subjects. He says, "write 2 or 3 paragraphs on a topic from the week's reading assignment", or "write a 1 - 2 pg. research article on topics covered in the reading assignment". I've at least go this week's assignments covered - my discussion was why the double-blind method is best in research experiments & my research article was on psychological disorders in Parkinsonian diseases (which hit on clinical psychology & neurotransmitters). & I've come up w/a possible topic for the term paper - "Road Rage: Dealing with Aggression While Driving". I also got a 90 on the 1st quiz. Woohoo, not bad for taking wild guesses on all questions related to the 2nd chapter... I'm just hoping the professor doesn't notice that I'm not really a 20-yr. old guy.
Why am I doing this, why am I essentially cheating on this class for my husband's nephew? I do it for the money, baby, why else?
