A variety of research findings on personality will be introduced and critical evaluation of these findings will be encouraged. Classes will consist of lecture and discussion on topics that parallel and relate to the information covered in the textbook, but will often not duplicate the textbook. Class time will be used to expand on and clarify concepts from the book, so completing reading assignments in a timely fashion will significantly enhance the usefulness of class time.
Students are responsible for all information presented in class.
These exams will be non-cumulative, but will refer to general principles from previous sections. Make up exams will consist of all essay questions and will only be given if the instructor is given a valid, documented excuse. Details for the field-study report will be provided on Sept 22nd. A 5th may be completed for extra credit that would be added to your final grade. There is a paper that is required only for those taking this course for Honors credit.
