Course Structure: PSY 344 will be run as a seminar. This means that students will be responsible for bringing ideas and questions to each class. Evaluation will weigh heavily participation and contribution. Students will be expected to stay current with assigned readings. Evaluation will be based on a midterm, a final, a major paper (Assignments Page), and participation in laboratory activities and class discussion live and via email.

Policy on Academic Dishonesty: Any form of academic dishonesty such as cheating on tests, plagiarism, deliberate misrepresentation of fact, or interfering with the work of other students will result in dismissal from the course and a failing grade. In addition, a complaint will be lodged with the Academic Dean’s office. If you have any question concerning whether or not your behavior may be viewed as dishonest, you are responsible to ask your instructor.

Grades: Student grades for the course will reflect test performance, completion of assignments, and participation and performance in class. Test take home due dates are fixed. The material covered on a particular test will reflect what has been assigned by the date of the test and may not directly correspond with the course outline described above. Students who have a conflict with a test date must contact me at least three class days before the scheduled test. Otherwise makeup tests will only be given to students if the Dean’s office indicates there has been a death in the family or illness has taken the student out of classes.
