Psychology

This course examines some of the key topics, discussions, and debates in the field of psychology. Students will learn about the discipline of psychology and its development as well as various topics that are applicable to their everyday lives. Some of the topics we will cover are:

History of psychology, consciousness, psychology perspectives, developmental psychology, the brain, social psychology, sleep, and psychological disorders.

Students will submit assignments through Google Classroom

Absence:

If you are absent, look at the Agenda in Google Classroom to see what you are missing that day.

Even if you are absent from class, you are responsible for all work completion.

If there is a legitimate reason you cannot complete the work on time, please communicate with me in a timely manner, and I will give you an extension if appropriate.

Showing up to the next class (or emailing) and asking “what did I miss?” is not following the protocol.

Late Policy: You have a two-week deadline for submitting any missing work. Work not submitted on time will receive a "0" until it is turned in (marked as M in Infinite Campus).

Late work that is turned in after the due date but before the two-week deadline may earn a reduced score, up to an 85, depending on the nature of the assignment.

I will not accept any work more than two weeks after the given due date. At that time your grade of “0” is fixed.

Any exceptions to deadlines must be discussed promptly and are dependent on the given situation.
