Exam questions are based on ALL material presented in lectures and ALL material covered in the assigned chapters, even if the textbook material is NOT discussed in the lectures . In the first exam there will be two questions regarding the syllabus . If you take all three tests and all the quizzes and assignments, you may take the final exam and substitute the final exam grade for your lowest test score. For those who are satisfied with their three grades and quiz average, the final is optional. Remember to bring a sharp pencil to fill in the Scantron sheet bubbles for the exam.
Quizzes have six questions on topics covered up to that day.
There will be at least three quizzes during the course. Given the large size of the class, there will be no make-up exams. If you miss a midterm test you will be required to take a comprehensive final to replace your missing test grade. If you miss a quiz, then your quiz average score will be lower. You will have opportunities throughout the semester to earn extra credit points by participating in psychology research.
