Course Outline/Schedule

Course Description and Objectives: General Experimental Psychology emphasizes fundamental concepts of research. Students conduct classic psychological experiments in perception, cognition, physiological, learning and social psychology, and write lab reports in APA style.

Text: The single most important item you need in order to succeed in this class is the textbook. This semester we will be using "Experimental Psychology (8th Ed), by Kantowitz, Roediger & Elmes" which can be purchased in the College Bookstore. On-line study material is also available for your use from the publisher.

Evaluation

Your grade in the class will be based on your performance on quizzes and exams covering material from the text, lectures and lab projects. Your regular attendance at class and lab, contribution to classroom discussion, and written lab reports are also important parts of this course and will contribute substantially to your grade.

If for any reason you are unable to take a quiz or an exam at the scheduled time, it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to inform me (by phone or email) in advance. Students are expected to make arrangements with me to take the exam at an alternate time prior to the next class meeting.
