Social Psychology 5 th ed. The course focuses specifically on how society influences the individual and in turn, influences by individuals on social interaction and development. Upon completing the course, the student should have a greater understanding of not only the field of social psychology, but also a better awareness of the theories, methods and applications of a variety of social science disciplines. Reading assignments will be given the week before they are due. Students are expected to have critically read and be ready to discuss assignments when they are due.
Students are responsible for assigned readings regardless if the material is discussed in class.
The final will be partially comprehensive. Tests will cover lectures, information contributed from class discussion, the text, and outside assignments. Only tests missed because of extraordinary circumstances may be made-up at the discretion of the instructor. Make-up exams are provided by appointment generally before or after class the next regular class period. It is the student s responsibility to contact the instructor and make necessary arrangements for any missed exams.
