Syllabus Information

Required Text:

1)                   Nairne, James S. Psychology: The Adaptive Mind. Custom Edition for Northern Illinois University (5th Ed.). Wadsworth Publishing

 

There are a total of 320 possible points in this class.

The minimum number of points required to earn each grade is:

 

A = 288 and up (90 - 100%)               

B = 248-287 (80 – 89.99%)               

C = 224-255 (70 – 79.99%)

D = 192-223 (60 – 69.99%)

F = 191 and under (below 60%)

 

There are 5 different ways to earn the points for this class:  exams, practice exams, quizzes, experiment participation, and simulations.

 

200 points      4 exams at 50 points each

  60 points      6 best of 8 in-class quizzes 10 points each (lowest 2 grades dropped)

  20 points      4 practice exams at 5 points each

  24 points      8 credits of experiment participation (each credit = about ½ hour of your time)

                        or completion of 6 research papers (we strongly encourage research participation)

  16 points      4 simulated experiments at 4 points each

320 points total

 

** In addition, you have the opportunity to earn up to 27 points of extra credit through additional participation in psychology experiments and simulations**

 

Exams:

Four NON-CUMULATIVE exams will be given. The exam dates are listed in the course schedule. Each exam will contain 50 multiple choice questions. 

 

Exam attendance is mandatory. However, if you miss an exam, you will be allowed to take a make-up exam. This make up exam will be administered during the regularly scheduled final exam time for this class meeting day and time as listed on the official university website.  I strongly recommend that you only take one make-up, although you can take up to two. If you miss more than two exams, you are strongly encouraged to withdraw from the course.

 

Exam Reading Assignments:

 

Exam 1: Chapters 1, 2, 4, 13

Exam 2: Chapters 3, 5, 6, 11

Exam 3: Chapters 7, 8, 9, 10

Exam 4: Chapters 12, 14, 15, 16

Quizzes:

Eight quizzes will be administered. The dates are listed in the course schedule. Each quiz is worth 10 points. However, I will drop your two lowest scores, so you can earn a maximum of 60 points from these quizzes. I will not administer make-up quizzes. If you miss more than 2 quizzes, you will receive a zero on each missed quiz, and it will count toward your final grade.

 

Simulations and Practice Exams:

 

Simulations and Practice Exams will be accessed through the CENGAGE NOW website. The URL to reach this site is:

 

http://academic.cengage.com/login

 

Follow the attached instructions to set up your account and register for the course. You will need an access code that comes with your purchase of the textbook. The site also includes a companion site to your textbook. This companion site offers additional optional tasks (e.g., flashcards and puzzles) that you can complete to help you prepare for the Departmental Exams.

 

Simulations:

 

You will best tested over 4 REQUIRED Simulations on Wednesday, April 15th                     

 

Simulation 1 (Stroop Test) 

Simulation 2 (Hemispheric Specialization)      

Simulation 6 (Memory Processes II)                

Simulation 8 (Measuring Creativity)                

 

You can also do 3 OPTIONAL Simulations for 1 point EXTRA CREDIT each

 

Simulation 10 (Social Judgment)                                       

Simulation 3 (The Poggendorff  Illusion)                        

Simulation 5 (Memory Processes I)                 

 

All required simulations will close and become unavailable at midnight of Tuesday, April 14th. You will not be able to access them starting at 12:01 on April 15th. Extra credit simulations will close April 30th.

Practice Exams:

 

Practice exams must be completed no later than the following deadlines:

 

Practice Exam 1: February 3rd at 6:00 PM
Practice Exam 2: February 24th at 6:00 PM
Practice Exam 3: March 26th at 6:00 PM
Practice Exam 4: April 23rd at
6:00 PM

 

Experiments:

The class has a research requirement.  The preferred way to complete this requirement is for you to participate in 4 hours, or 8 credits, of psychology experiments (1/2 hour participation = 1 credit). You will earn 24 points by doing so. You must earn all 8 credits to receive the 24 points  – this is an all-or-none task. If you earn 7 or fewer experimental credits, you will receive no points.

 

However, once you have accumulated 8 experiment credits you have the opportunity to earn extra credit points. You can do this by participating in more research and earning more research credits. For each research credit that you accumulate beyond the minimum requirement of 8, you will receive 3 points of extra credit. You can earn up to 24 points of extra credit in this manner. Just to be clear, the first 8 research credits get you 24 points; each additional credit beyond 8 (up to 16 research credits total) earns an additional 3 points (a possible maximum of 48 points). 

 

To sign up for experiments, you will need to log on to the following website:

 

https://www.psych.uni.edu/pspm/niu

 

The website will provide you with a list of available experiments, along with the locations and meeting times. You will be able to sign up for experiments, cancel experiments, and check your status with regards to how many points you have earned. To help you learn the online system, please read the student/participant section of the following manual:

 

                                    www.psych.uni.edu/pspm/manual

 

Make sure you arrive on time, or early, for all experiments you sign up for. After you have completed the experiment, you will be given a slip as proof of your participation in the experiment.  Please keep them as back-up proof of your participation.

 

PLEASE NOTE: If you sign up for an experiment and do not show up, or if you are late for the experiment, you will lose one credit of experiment participation. Therefore, if you have 8 credits and you sign up for an experiment and do not show up – you will be knocked down to 7 credits! You can avoid this penalty by canceling the experiment online or calling the experimenter, prior to the start of the experiment. Also, you may not participate in the same experiment twice.

 

You may choose not to participate in experiments due to legitimate moral concerns or religious concerns. You may also be too young to participate (you must be 18 years of age or older). If you choose not to participate in the experiments, please see me during the first week of the semester. We will discuss the alternative to participation in experiments, which involves a series of writing assignments.  These assignments ask you to read research reports from the professional literature and to write about them.
