You can call me Professor Black, Dr. Black, Jessica, or Hey you!, but please do not call me Mrs. Black. (Black is the surname on my birth certificate.) I love horses, music, food (especially cheese), and travelling.  (Read my blog <a href=\"https:\/\/jessicaeblack.org\/\">Wild Horses<\/a> for more on horses or go to <a href=\"https:\/\/jessicaeblack.org\/everythingelse\/\">Wild Woman&#8217;s World<\/a> for the non-horsey, non-academic Jessica.) I grew up in Springville, CA., but then went to Washington, D.C. for an undergraduate degree at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgetown.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Georgetown University<\/a>. After that I lived abroad for 16 years, mostly in Spain but also in Mexico, D.F., Panama, and Managua, Nicaragua. My two sons were born in Panama; because their father is Spanish, they have three citizenships: USA, Spain, and Panama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2009, my sons and I returned to the United States. I enrolled at Humboldt State University (now <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humboldt.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cal Poly Humboldt<\/a>) and obtained my Master&#8217;s degree in psychology. I lectured for at year at Humboldt, then moved to Norman, OK., to obtain my PhD at <a href=\"http:\/\/ou.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">University of Oklahoma<\/a>. You can read more about the research I did there here: <a href=\"https:\/\/jessicaeblack.org\/research\/research\/\">My Research<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-nv-c-1-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-bd825c86fb837ffba6692ef38539ede1\">&#8230; as a teacher<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I teach General Psychology, Elementary Statistics for the Behavioral and Social Sciences, and Research Methods for the Behavioral and Social Sciences at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bakersfieldcollege.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bakersfield College<\/a>. Mostly, I teach in person at BC&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bakersfieldcollege.edu\/about\/locations\/southwest\/in\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SouthWest campus<\/a>. I teach the statistics course online as well, along with an occasional hybrid version. Although at a community college teaching is now my focus, I also continue to do research. In Spring 2024, I kicked off a <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Longitudinal_study\">longitudinal study<\/a> that explores the effects of regular reflection, biweekly check-ins, and consistent feedback on student well-being and academic success. Research participation is an integral part of statistics and methods courses, and all my students have the opportunity to participate! (You can read about my longstanding research interests by <a href=\"https:\/\/jessicaeblack.org\/research\/research\/\">clicking here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fall 2024 I began my third year teaching at Bakersfield College. I love my colleagues in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bakersfieldcollege.edu\/academics\/pathways\/sbs\/psychology.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Psychology Department<\/a> (especially my office mate <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.google.com\/view\/becky-colaw-ms\/home?authuser=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Professor Becky Colaw<\/a>). Becky and I are the psych department&#8217;s two full-time faculty members based at the SouthWest campus. SouthWest is still relatively new, and it&#8217;s small: one building. I really enjoy teaching here. True, we don&#8217;t have the Dining Commons, theatre, etc. that the Main Campus does. And I have to drive to get to meetings. On the other hand, there is always parking nearby, my office is across the hallway from my classrooms, and I can walk to several breweries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Spring 2025, I am teaching at the brand new Arvin Educational Center. The newest BC Campus is housed in a beautiful new building with excellent amenities. It&#8217;s got computers for students to work on as soon as they walk in the door! It also has gorgeous views of the mountains on a clear day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left has-nv-site-bg-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-d6f76e2cc36f3f8d8fa5c99f0acc0dd5\" id=\"My-teaching-philosophy\" style=\"background:linear-gradient(135deg,rgb(26,119,55) 8%,rgb(181,97,229) 76%,rgb(113,40,182) 100%)\">My teaching philosophy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If I had to describe my teaching philosophy in one sentence it would be \u201cStudents learn by doing!\u201d This means applying psychological theories to real life, interpreting material in terms of the current sociopolitical environment and personal experience, using real data in statistics courses, and carrying out research in methods courses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-custom-1-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-b24ef816b97a7cc78b404ee48c1e8897\">I believe there are four essential components of effective teaching that facilitate students learning-by-doing:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Students much be given the tools they need to successfully complete the class and any follow-up courses.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>This might be as simple as teaching them to think critically about issues in psychology that are likely to come up in their daily lives or as complex as how to choose the correct analysis to test hypotheses and how to interpret the results of statistical tests. Acquiring such practical knowledge requires practice; for example, in statistics, students must apply what they have learned by carrying out analyses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The teacher should cultivate student engagement by making the material meaningful and pertinent to their personal and academic goals.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>I use pop culture references, current events, videos, and music to stimulate discussion and enhance understanding. In courses such as statistics, where many students start off with anxiety, it is important to keep the content clear as well as engaging, emphasizing the practical purpose of learning while making it enjoyable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The course material must be appropriate for the ability and learning needs of the specific class.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In practical terms, this means that I must be sensitive to the capabilities of students in any class, and what they will need to do with the material learned. For example, an introductory stats course for psychology majors should ensure that students learn the tools they will need in the required research methods course that follows. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Equally important is the need to gauge teaching and expectations (grading) such that students are challenged but not discouraged; for me, the best way to do this is through frequent feedback<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Student feedback is an invaluable tool in achieving the first three goals.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Listening to students and actively encouraging their feedback is often the only way a teacher can improve her method and respond to changing student needs. Bakersfield College does not have student evaluations after every course, so I make sure to give students plenty of opportunities to tell me what needs improvement. Not only do I have FAQ discussions on all my courses, but I also encourage students a Google form to provide anonymous feedback at any time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>My main goal is for each and every student to pass my class. Hopefully, you will all go on to graduate, if not from BC, then from another community college, or better yet, from a four-year institution! One of the highlights of the year is watching my students graduate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-rectangular\"><div class=\"\"><div
