In addition to the text reading assignments, you may be assigned other readings and websites to visit or discover. Specifics will be posted by the start of each week in the Assignments area of Blackboard. These readings are not included on this syllabus. The homework assignments will be aimed at increasing your knowledge of abnormal psychology via exploration of the internet. Another goal of these assignments is to prepare you for writing your term paper.
Exams are open-book and in essay format.
The final exam is not cumulative. Each week I will post a discussion topic to the Discussion Board. If you have a topic you would like to discuss with classmates via the Discussion Board, email the topic to me for feedback and possible posting. Do this in a timely manner. Students are expected to participate in class discussion by posting three relevant responses each week .
