Associating Colors with temprement is based on the work of clinical psychologist David Keirsey, author of the best-selling self-help book Please Understand Me
http://keirsey.com/

Jung (1923) … said that people are different in fundamental ways even though they all have the same multitude of instincts (archetypes) to drive them from within. One instinct is no more important than another. What is important is our preference for how we “function.” Our preference for a given “function” is characteristic, and so we may be “typed” by this preference. Thus Jung invented the “function types” or “psychological types.”

People Patterns
by Stephen Montgomery, Ph.D.
“Try to see it my way.” Taking his cue from the Beatles, Dr. Montgomery presents a modern guide to the four temperaments, the four ancient “people patterns” that hold the key to personality types. Montgomery cites dozens of characters from popular books, movies, and TV — from The Wizard of Oz and Harry Potter to Star Trek and Sex and the City — to bring the Artisans, Guardians, Idealists, and Rationals alive for a contemporary audience.

Please Understand Me II: Temperament Character Intelligence
David Keirsey
an updated and greatly expanded edition of the book, far more comprehensive and coherent than the original, and yet with much of the same easy accessibility. One major addition is Keirsey’s view of how the temperaments differ in the intelligent roles they are most likely to develop. Each of us, he says, has four kinds of intelligence — tactical, logistical, diplomatic, strategic — though one of the four interests us far more than the others, and thus gets far more practice than the rest.

True Colors
http://www.truecolors.org

In 1978, founder Don Lowry, the driving force behind True Colors, became interested in the work of clinical psychologist David Keirsey. Keirsey, author of the best-selling self-help book Please Understand Me, studied the work of psychologists Carl Jung, Katherine Briggs and Isabel Myers who theorized that all people fit into one of four broad categories of personality.

GREEN
Objective, rational, logical, curious, competent, scientific, realistic, knowledgeable and wise

• I’m pretty balanced but understanding that I’m Green has helped me appreciate why other people react differently to “logical explanations” - they respond better to other presentations of the same information.

GOLD
Dependable, responsible, sensible, helpful, hardworking, stable, loyal, organized, practical, punctual and traditional

BLUE
Compassionate, caring, warm, communicative, cooperative, romantic, passionate, sensitive and harmonious

ORANGE
Spontaneous, active, adventuresome, risk-taking, competetive, flexible, cheerful, creative, charming, skillful and fun

For the mid term paper, I require students to post a draft of their papers for peer review 2 days before the assignment due date, and review the papers of two other students. Good students typically post early and their reviews are repectful and insightful - great peer modeling.

What if less than two people reviewed my paper? Will I get deducted points?

As usual, four hours before the 11:30pm deadline on the due date, a student writes something like this. sigh…

This is an interesting problem with assignments that require student participation.

Some students get their work done early and have their papers available for peer review. Other students wait til the last minute. Most students will have completed the peer review requirement by reviewing the early submissions and no one reviews the late submissions. It is usually the late submitters who would benefit most from peer review.

So will points be deducted because your paper was not peer reviewed? No, but you will not have the benefit of peer review so your paper will not be as strong it might have been, and will therefore not score as well.

No doubt people will enjoy this. The author writes, “I reviewed a number of studies of the efficacy of Active Learning, extracted the most salient passages, and pulled them together into a single document.” Not that many examples, but how many quotes do you need like this? “Both within a class and between classes, classes scored higher and less variably on items testing materials presented via active learning compared to lecture, autonomous readings, or video without discussion coverage.”
