Pełny opis: |
(tylko po angielsku) This course is an introduction to the theories, concepts, and viewpoints that comprise the discipline of psychology, and to the research methodologies used to study these concepts. As you are being introduced to the lecture material you will develop a working vocabulary used in the field along with an understanding of the range of topics that psychologists study and the ways in which they do it. Since we do not have many class sessions and psychology is such a vast discipline, we will not be able to cover everything in-depth. However, you will get the opportunity to discuss and engage critically with the topics covered during the lectures. |

Metody i kryteria oceniania: |
(tylko po angielsku) Assessment methods and criteria Quizzes 30% of your grade will be calculated based on 5 of 6 quizzes held in-class during the semester. They will be made up of multiple-choice and fill in the blank questions, and their purpose is to keep you up-to-date with your readings, to help you prepare for the mid-term and final exams, as well as to develop your fluency with the vocabulary used in the field. Your overall quiz grade will be calculated based on your top five scores, provided that you write all six quizzes. Exam The remaining 70% of your grade will come from a final exam. The exam will be made up of multiple choice questions and a few short-answer open questions. The exam will be based on the lectures, textbook material and additional readings. If for some non-trivial reason, you cannot come to the exam, you must let us know as soon as possible. A make-up exam will be scheduled. Attendance rules Attendance at lectures is mandatory (and attendance will be taken every week), as you will be tested on the material discussed during the lectures, which might not be covered in the textbook. You are allowed to miss 2 classes during the term. |
