The goal of lecture will be to present topics from each chapter to give you a flavor for the various domains of human memory and learning . Lecture will also be used to help reinforce important or difficult topics by providing examples, video clips, and demonstrations that illustrate psychological principles. To increase your understanding of the scientific process, we will also discuss experiments that test predictions made by psychological theories. At times, I may introduce material in lecture that goes beyond your text, so it is important to attend lecture and take good notes. Should a faculty member discover that a student has committed plagiarism, the student will receive a grade of 'F' in that course and the matter will be referred to the Executive Director of Student Life for possible disciplinary action.
Plagiarism is academic dishonesty.
If you are caught plagiarizing, or cheating, then you may end up failing the assignment you were working on, or, if the infringement is serious, the course as a whole. The common form of plagiarism is using someone else's work as if it were your own. To avoid plagiarism you should learn how to paraphrase, how to use quotation marks, and how to use the APA writing style. The College of Arts and Humanities encourages classroom discussion and academic debate as an essential intellectual activity. It is essential that students learn to express and defend their beliefs, but it is also essential that they learn to listen and respond respectfully to others whose beliefs they may not share.
