It will attempt to provide students with a basic understanding of some of the major problems modern psychology addresses, as well as how the experimental psychologist approaches them. There will be areas in which the lecture and text do not overlap.
Students are responsible for both all of the lecture and text material.
This will require that the student reads the text on their own and makes sure the material is understood. The SLC is a great resource for supplemental materials and other services. There will be three tests and a partially cumulative final exam. The tests will not be cumulative and will be held during class time. The final will have some questions from throughout the semester and will be held during the finals week.
