Course Materials: Textbook: Psychology, 5th edition (Myers) 3-Ring Notebook: for assignments, notes, articles, and handouts Spiral Notebook: for reading notes Spiral Notebook for journal entries (will be collected and graded periodically)
2 Grading: Grades are calculated in the following manner: Homework/Class Activities and Exercises=35%, Tests=45%, and Participation/Attendance=20%. A=90%-100% B=80%-89% C=70%-79% D=60%-69% F=59% or less ****Attendance does have a direct impact on a student s grade. This class involves a lot of experiments/activities and discussions in which participation is crucial to being successful at learning the material. A student receives 5 points every day for attendance and participation. If the student is absent and it is unexcused/truant then he or she will lose the 5 points. Each tardy will cause the student to lose 2 attendance points. Content Standards Performance: Student level of performance on the content standards will be determined using the following pieces of evidence: final exam questions specific to the standard, research/writing assignments (including Common Assessment activity), and a reflective thematic essay. Late Work Policy: An assignment turned in late will lose 30% credit. After the unit test you will lose 50% credit on late work. Make-up Work: If a student knows he or she will be absent then they should try to complete work ahead of time or consult with me to make other arrangements. Otherwise consult with me about how best to make up your work. Classroom Expectations and Rule: Students are expected to come to class with textbook, notebook/folder, and pen/pencil. There is only one rule for this classroom: Any behavior that interferes with the teaching or learning in this room is unacceptable. **Only the severest of misbehaviors will be sent to the office and parents contacted. Most infractions will be dealt with by the teacher.** Communication/Conference: The students as well as parents are welcome to contact me when questions arise. Students can arrange to conference with me before school, after school, or during my planning time (fifth block). Parents may call and leave a message for me with the office or me at justin_kidneigh@natronaschools.org.
3 Course Format: This class is every other day for 90 minutes for the whole school year. This facilitates completing the reading/writing assignments. Course Activities: This course will utilize a variety of strategies/approaches to better allow the students to learn and process the concepts important to the study of Psychology.

5 Psychology Textbook Notetaking Procedure Interactive Notetaking (100 points per chapter) Before You Start --Chunk how many pages you will need to read each night in order to complete your notes before the unit test. --Plan to finish the chapter(s) a few days before the test on it so you can begin reviewing for the test. --Start each notetaking session be reviewing briefly the notes you took the previous time. This will provide continuity and help you to remember information. Procedure for Notetaking as You Read: 1. Blue: write the section heading (large red print in book) at the top of paper. Always start a new section on a new sheet of paper. (5 points) 2. Red: pose the key question for the subsection you are reading by turning the dark bold headings (black lettering in book) into a question. (5 points) 3. Green: write the major terms that help to answer the question you posed for the subsection. Often they are underlined. Put the terms in your notebook on the far left of the page. When you review, to test your recall of the terms cover the definitions to see if you know them. (20 points) 4. Purple: next to the terms put their definitions. Write in the center of the page. You may also write any other information from the reading that helps you to understand the term. Write the names of any important researchers or psychologists mentioned with the term and circle them in blue. To review you can cover the definitions and try to recall them as you look at the terms. (15 points) 5. Orange: write your associations/questions/emotional responses/thoughts for the terms/concepts at the far right of the page next to what you wrote in purple. When you record your thoughts and feelings you are more deeply processing the information. When you review at a later time you will be able to easily access needed memories of the information. This means less re-reading of the material. (10 points) Procedure After You are Finished 6. Black: after reading a whole section (red lettered in book) write a summary of the key concepts that you learned. Include you thoughts and feelings as you do this to make it more meaningful and relevant to you which makes it easier to learn. (20 points) 7. Red: write some review questions for yourself that a partner could use to help you review or that you can use be yourself to review. These could be fill-inthe-blank, multiple choice, or potential essay questions. (15 points) 8. Last of All: Draw any tables or diagrams that are relevant to the section you just read. These can be as detailed as you desire--just remember the purpose of them is to help you learn and review important concepts. (10 points)
