PS100 - General Psychology
Dr. Dick Martin

Instructor's Hours:
I am available to meet with you at almost any time when I am not engaged in some other activity. If I am in my office and free of other obligations I will be happy to meet with you. However, if you want to be sure before making a trip over to Beck Hall I suggest that you talk to me after class or email me for an appointment. I do not respond to voicemail, but you are certainly free to phone me and I will be happy to communicate with you if I am there. My number is 7411. The best way to reach me is through email at dick@gac.edu.

General Information:
This course is designed as a broad introduction to the study of psychology, and it will be necessary to cover a great deal of material in a relatively short period of time. Classroom lectures will follow the same general outline as the reading assignments in the text. Caution: Some of the material in the text will not be covered in class, and some of the material covered in class will not be in the text, but both types will be covered on the examinations.

Assignments and Grading:
There will be four tests given during the semester, each worth approximately 60-90 points. Eighty percent of your grade will be based on the total number of points earned on all four examinations. 20 percent of your grade will be based on points earned for completing simulations and quizzes from interactive learning modules on PsykTrek. The final five percent will be based on participation in experiments.

Reading from Text:
You should make an effort to have the module read by the time it is scheduled in the calendar. This will be a help in understanding the lectures in class and you will find you will remember the material more easily.

Using PsykTrek:
Follow the instructions for the access code that you received when you purchased your textbook to gain online access to the software. Each section of the course has assigned quizzes and simulations from PsykTrek with deadlines. The simulations and quizzes must be completed by the deadline or your points will be reduced by 15%. If the assignments are completed after the exam for that section they will receive no credit. You can keep track of your point totals for these assignments online.

The simulations are intended to give you practical applications of the concepts and theories covered in the text and involve gathering data in completing them. You will be given points for the simulation online but I also want you to send me your results by Email. Send your results to psy100dm@gac.edu. You must include the entire address including @gac.edu. Be sure to fill in the right Email address for you as well. If you send your response to the Email address given above you should receive a notice that I received it.

Participation in Experiments:
To provide additional experience in psychological science, students will be required to participate in actual research carried out by Gustavus faculty members and psychology majors. Students will have a variety of opportunities available throughout the semester from which to choose and will be expected to sign up on their own to participate in 3 different experiments outside of class. There will be Online experiments, that can be completed from a computer console, will count for 1/2 an experiment. Click here for the online Student Signup for Experiments site.

Students who do not wish to participate in research may substitute equivalent alternative assignments whereby they read 3 empirical research articles published in the journal Current Directions of Psychological Science, and complete a brief written assignment for each article. A copy of the instructions for the alternative assignment can be found here. This assignment MUST BE COMPLETED BY YOUR RETURN AFTER MIDBREAK on Wednesday October 26.

Collectively, participation in these experiments or the equivalent alternative assignment is worth 5% of students’ final course grade. Specific written guidelines both for required experiment participation and alternative assignments will be distributed and discussed in class. Participation experiments beyond 3 will be treated as extra-credit (3 points per experiment up to a maximum of 9 points).

Grading: Letter grades will be determined on the basis of the top score in the class. For example, if the top student in the class has a total of 500 points, those students who attain 96% of that total, or a minimum of 480 points will receive A's. To pass the course a student must earn 65% of the top score, or in my example, a minimum of 325 points.

Note Well! Grades will be posted by ID and sent to students in a general Email. If you would prefer not to have your ID posted with your score in this manner you should inform me before the first exam.

Attendance:
Class attendance is the responsibility of the student and attendance each day is expected. Faithful class attendance is correlated with good grades. Students who miss more than 5 classes are not eligible for extra credit activities to boost their grades. Students are invited to ask questions during class, either to clarify points in the lecture, or material in the text. Spontaneous remarks often make for an interesting discussion or an interesting change of direction.

Illness Policy.
If you are suffering a contagious illness please do not attend class but seek medical assistance from the Health Service.
Policy On Academic Honesty.
It is a rare occurrence when I have to deal with academic dishonesty but you should know that any such transgression will be dealt with severely. Obviously, cheating on exams is dishonest, but it is also dishonest to copy another student's work, to represent someone else's work as your own, or to represent that you have completed work when that is not the case, or to give or to be given answers to quizzes or exams. Sanctions will include failing this course and a meeting with the Associate Dean of the college so that you get to know him or her better.

Help for Students Whose First Language is not English.
Support for English Language Learners (ELL) and Multilingual students is available via the College’s ELL Support staff person, Andrew Grace (agrace@gustavus.edu or x7395). He can meet individually with students to consult about academic tasks and to help students seek other means of support. The ELL Support person can also consult with faculty members who have ELL and multilingual students enrolled in their classes. The College’s ELL staff person can provide students with a letter to a professor that explains and supports academic accommodations (e.g. additional time on tests, additional revisions for papers). Professors make decisions based on those recommendations at their own discretion. In addition, ELL and multilingual students can seek help from peer tutors in the Writing Center.

Disability Services.
“Gustavus Adolphus College is committed to ensuring the full participation of all students in its programs. If you have a documented disability (or you think you may have a disability of any nature) and, as a result, need reasonable academic accommodation to participate in class, take tests or benefit from the College’s services, then you should speak with the Disability Services Coordinator, for a confidential discussion of your needs and appropriate plans. Course requirements cannot be waived, but reasonable accommodations may be provided based on disability documentation and course outcomes. Accommodations cannot be made retroactively; therefore, to maximize your academic success at Gustavus, please contact Disability Services as early as possible. Disability Services (https://gustavus.edu/advising/disability/) is located in the Advising and Counseling Center.”

Textbook:

Introduction to Psychology by James W. Kalat, 9th Edition.

Schedule of Assignments:

Textbook reading assignments 1st Quarter:

In the opening chapters of the text we encounter some interesting philosophical questions as we attempt to explore characteristics of the discipline of psychology. What makes it a science? Does an empirical science rule out some types of explanations of human behavior? The third chapter explores the most complex organ in the known universe, the human brain. We often underestimate its complexity, because our behavior appears so effortless. However, the behavioral difficulty of individuals who are brain damaged drives home how important a healthy brain is for normal human abilities and interactions.The chapter on consciousness describes the states of alertness which are dependent on brain mechanisms.

Textbook reading assignments 2nd quarter:
In the chapter on sensation and perception we consider the question of what is the nature of reality and what is the source of our knowledge about it. Is reality "out there" or inside of us? The chapter on learning concerns how our experience based on our perception of reality shapes our learning and development. The final chapter of this section describes the ways we remember reality to create a life history of what we have experienced that helps to give our lives coherence and consistency.

Textbook reading assignments 4th quarter:

Freud believed that much of our psychological life takes place without our conscious awareness. This is indeed true, but as we will learn in the first chapter, the source of our motivations may often be a function of mechanisms in the brain. Psychology has often been identified with the categorization and treatment of disturbed individuals. What is the role of stress in creating psychological problems? What are the assumptions in classifying an individual as abnormal and how might psychotherapy work? Finally, we end this course with a discussion of the complex ways we function as social beings.
