This was the year with no textbook – so the slides were based on the readings; these could be reconsidered, particularly the Psychology and Everyday Life reading, and incorporated/brought in
Overall – 7/10, but, as usual, was on the run, not as well prepared as desirable, etc. But given that the slides were created quickly, a solid review effort.
This was effectively a new lecture – 69 slides cobbled together quickly based on Tricia's 2003 lecture and outline/overview/summary slides from each of the previous 9 lectures
In general, I think this lecture should be continued to give the unit some sense of returning to its original goals and reviewing those, marking out signposts along the way
Preamble was longer than for other lectures, but I think this was OK – it told the bigger picture story before diving in; suggest transcribing and edited and put on the web too
Timing was OK – arrived/started late – up to 10 mins; no break; finished with 2 mins to go
Performance: 7/10 – underprepared, particularly on latter topics
Several current, contemporary, spontaneous examples were given during the lecture – could use even more – transcribe what these were:
Looking-glass self: Weight loss with full-length mirror on fridges
John McCain's choice of Sarah Palin as VP running mate in 2008 USA presidential election – was he smitten and irrational?
Hot drink / attraction study

It helped that I'd prepared half the exam beforehand – some concepts were salient
Slides were not put up beforehand :(
Slides were revised afterwards :)
Add exam questions – say 1 per topic from this lecture
