1 COURSE SYLLABUS PSYCHOLOGY 1A Dr. Nancy Bales Outside office: (831) Text: Essentials of Psychology: Exploration and Application Dennis Coon Course Description: Introduction to Psychology is designed to provide an overview of the science of psychology together with the scientific study of the factors influencing human development and behavior. Course Objectives: 1. To help students understand that their own behavior and the behavior of others is a combination of their biology (including their genetics) and their environment. 2. To be able to analyze both the construction and results of a scientific research. 3. To be able to describe the basic functions of both the brain and its neurotransmitters. 4. To understand how our drives, motives and emotions directly impact our behavior. 5. To understand the effects of prenatal environment, attachment and parenting skills on human behavior. 6. To develop a general, fundamental understanding of mental illness, including its neurological and environmental causes and effects on individuals, families and society.
2 Contact Information: Because I do not have an office on-campus, I do not have regularly scheduled office hours. I am, however, available to my students through my off-campus office at (831) or through my address: nbales@monkm.com. I check for messages at these two sites on a regular business day basis. I do, however, check my daily. You can expect a reply usually within 24 hours. Because I live on the West Coast, however, there may be a time delay. If I do not, for some reason, return your contact within 24 hours, please feel free to contact me again. Special Assistance: Any student in this course who has a disability that may prevent him or her from fully demonstrating his or her abilities, should contact me personally as soon as possible so I can discuss accommodations to ensure full participation and facilitate your educational opportunity. Course Requirements: Each student is required to: 1. Because the central focus of this class is the material within your textbook, each student is required to read that chapter prior to the beginning of each week s class discussion 2. Students are required to log on to the class web site for class discussions at least twice a week. The only way I can know that you have logged on to the site, is for you to actively participate in the asynchronous discussion within your group. Every student is required to make a minimum of two postings and two replies to another group member s postings every week. Student group discussions will focus on the applications of information within each chapter. 3. Students are required to actively participate in their student group in creating an essay answer to a topic question for each week. To do this, they must make a minimum of two postings of contributions to forming the group s answer. In addition, they are required to make a minimum of two responses to the postings of other members of their group. 4. Every student is required to take an essay final exam.
3 Grading Policies 40 points based on participation within group asynchronous discussion of chapter applications and chapter topic question 40 points based on the quality of group answers to chapter topic questions 20 points based on final essay exam Resource Guidelines Within the Assignments area, along with the application and chapter topic questions, web sites are listed where students can go to gather additional information on the chapter topics. In addition to expanding your knowledge in this area, these sites may provide information you can use for both your group discussion and group essay answers. Student Participation and Group Discussion Groups: Each student will be assigned to a group of students for the purposes of discussion of chapter applications and preparing answers to chapter topic questions. You are strongly encouraged to participate in these activities. Not only will participation greatly enhance your experience in this class, but 40% of your grade will be determined by the level of your participation. You are required to log in to this class site at least twice each week and to make a minimum number of postings and responses to the postings of other group members.
