1 WEBSITE TEMPLATE Course PSYC1001E Instructor Christopher Motz Term Fall Address Office Location A824 Loeb Building Office Hours TBA COURSE DESCRIPTION/INSTRUCTORS STATEMENT Welcome to the fascinating world of Psychology! I am looking forward to spending the semester discussing my favourite topic (Psychology) with you. Please feel free to visit during office hours or to arrange an alternate time to meet. The overall purpose of this course is to introduce students to the field of psychology as a science. Introductory Psychology has been divided into two half courses, 1001 and 1002, and each half course focuses on introducing us to half of the sub-fields within psychology. The immediate goal of this course is to provide students with an opportunity to survey psychological research related to the biology of behaviour, learning and behaviour, and the broad research topics of sensation, perception, memory and consciousness. One of our main objectives will be to focus on recent research being conducted in psychology and on the application of that research in the real world. This course is designed for those students considering careers in the discipline of psychology, as well as those students generally interested in understanding human behaviour. The overall guiding philosophy of the course, however, is that students who will someday conduct psychological research need a practical introduction to some of the primary areas of psychological research, and this course aims to provide you with the opportunity to obtain that practical introduction. The course is also geared to provide you with the opportunity to prepare yourselves for material covered in PSYC 1002, as well as more advanced branching courses (including a thesis in the area if your major is psychology). EVALUATION Midterm 1: 24% Midterm 2: 24% Final Exam: 48% Participation in Psychological research: 4%

7 Course PSYC3604-A Instructor Christopher Motz Term Fall Address Office Location A824 Loeb Building Office Hours TBA COURSE DESCRIPTION/INSTRUCTORS STATEMENT The Abnormal Psychology course will provide a broad survey of theory and research in the field of mental illness and clinical psychology. Our course examines a wide range of topics including, but not limited to, emotional disorders, anxiety disorders, behavioural disorders, stress, substance abuse, psychotic disorders, etc. We will examine the concepts of normal and abnormal from a variety of theoretical and research perspectives (neuropsychological, cognitive, psychodynamic, socio-cultural, etc.), with an emphasis on diagnosis and treatment. One of our other main focuses will be to highlight foundational and current research being conducted in the field of abnormal behaviour and mental illness. I hope we will be able to grow in our understanding of the human condition and appreciation for human diversity, as well as develop an appreciation for the challenges that are faced by many individuals in our society.
