Previous decades have been past, some researches has establish the effects of the schedule of

immersion on the classroom of psychology. Therefore, we sought to differentiate academic


performance of students in 2-week immersion psychology courses to that of students in
traditional 16-week courses. Study 1 shows students who received instruction in a 2-week
immersion course significantly outperformed their cohorts in a traditional 16-week course. In
order to indicate potential scope in study 1, in Study 2, we controlled for individual differences
variables (e.g., cumulative grade point average), and results indicated significantly higher
academic performance for students in the 2-week immersion course. Both studies have present
that students in the immersion courses consistently evaluated the courses and their instructors
significantly higher than those students in the 16-week courses. In light of our results and in
contrast to critics, immersion courses may be useful and effective when teaching psychology.
