The course is designed to meet the needs of potential majors and minors in psychology and should also serve as an interesting and useful elective for other students. The text must be read as preparation for each class. Consult the topic outline for weekly reading assignments. The textbook is fairly long and demanding. It contains a lot of information and will require concentration and effort on your part.
Students are responsible for BOTH the assigned readings and the lecture material.
Not everything that is discussed in class will be in the text, so it is your responsibility to get the notes from any class that you miss. The student is responsible for any material missed due to an absence of any nature. The instructor will not provide copies on notes from any missed lecture. There will be 6 short quizzes to reward those who attend class and read the material beforehand. It is up to you to officially drop the course if you quit attending class.
