This course is concerned with the structures and processes by which physical energy is transformed into meaningful information for guiding behavior. As we address each of our senses, we will describe the type of information upon which perception builds, and consider how anatomy and physiology allow us to extract such information. The class is designed such that students who regularly attend class do well, and those who do not attend do poorly. You are responsible for all material provided in lecture, which often includes material that is not in the textbook.
Exams typically focus on lecture material.
You are allowed to consult your classmates regarding questions about assignments. However, you must do your own work . For example, you may ask someone to explain a concept you are having trouble with, but you may not look at someone else's paper to see what they wrote, or ask someone how to write about a topic or word an answer. If any papers appear too similar to each other, the very least that will happen is that all people involved will receive a 0 on that assignment, and will not be allowed to make it up. Further action may be taken, including failing the class and dismissal from the department or college .
