Outcomes
This course will help you develop attitudes that encourage you to:
*Demonstrate a willingness to learn from many cultures, persons, methods, and
viewpoints.
This course will give you the knowledge to:
* Understand the nature of the individual, of human values and of the relationship
between the self and the community.
Note: Often people have had traumatic experiences or have strong feelings on certain
topics. If you feel any of the topics in the text or class will be emotionally damaging to
you, or difficult to learn about or discuss, or would create a “hostile environment” for you
- do not take this course. If you have a disability of any type, you should contact the
Educational Assistance Center.

Grading:
Grading consists of the four midterms, and the activities folder.
Exams:
There are four multiple choice midterm exams (50 pts. each) and the activities
folder (100 pts.). The four midterm exams are not cumulative and cover only the chapters
for that exam. The exams will test your knowledge of concepts, terms, and findings.
You will also be asked to apply some of the fundamental concepts to new situations.
How to do well on the exams:
The exams come from the text and many additional items to help you understand
the material. Use the Course Calendar at the end of this syllabus to keep yourself on track
so you will have covered the material and understand it before the exam date. To
understand each topic, listen to the class presentation, take notes, and complete the study
guides.
Before the exam, listen to the exam review and revisit these items in your text.
The “How to Study”, sheet in this syllabus, discusses how to read the text material prior
to listening to the class.
Study Guides:
Go to: Course Resources >Useful Links > Study Guides. This file gives you a study
guide for each chapter. These are designed directly from the exams. While you read the
text, listen to the class presentations, and view the Power Point slides, keep these sheets
with you, and work toward being able to answer each of the questions. These will then
help you during the exams.
Exam Scoring:
The score you receive will be the grade indicated by the computer. I feel this is
the fairest for the largest number of students. While I am glad to discuss the exam with
you, it will not change your score. Any changes in question wording, etc. will be
considered for next quarter, but will not be used to change scores this quarter.
Make-up exams:
For students who miss a scheduled examination, one make-up session will be held. You
may make-up any one of the previous exams at that time. There will be no make-up
exams at any other times (see the “Course Calendar” for the make-up date).
Retake exams:
If you feel you did not perform at the level you expected on an exam, you may retake one
exam. In all cases, you will receive the higher of the two scores as your final grade.
5
Please see the “Course Calendar” for the retake date. There will be no exam retakes at
any other time.
Please note: The date for retaking an exam, and making up an exam is the same day.
Therefore, if you have taken all the exams, you may retake one, however, if you have
missed an exam, this period would need to be used for making up this missed exam. If
you missed two, you will receive a zero (“0”) on one of them.
Therefore, you may take only one exam. It can be either a make-up or a retake exam, but
not both. If you take more than one exam, I will only use your first score.
Make-up and retake exams are considered more difficult
I recommend you take the exams as scheduled. Generally, the retake and make-up exams
are considered more difficult. The difference is that I tend to "teach to the test" and
review for the scheduled exams.
The retake and make-up exams are only from the text. I ask the computer to randomly
select questions from a database of questions (e.g. randomly select 50 questions from
chapters 1-4). These exams look the same (e.g. 50 multiple choice questions) however,
they will have different questions than the originally scheduled exam.
Remember, if you take the original exam, regardless of your score, you can always retake
it and receive the higher of the two scores.

How to check your internet browser if you are having problems
1. Go to the class website and log in.
3. Often, simply turning off “pop-up blockers” on your web browser will solve problems.
4. Another way to check your browser is to try all the class activities, such as the Power
Points, the recordings, and the class materials. If these all work, you are ok. If you still
have questions, call one of the distance learning resources on the first page of this
syllabus.
How to see your final course grade:
You may check your grades via the internet at: NSCC home page > Online
Services > Look Up Your Grades. Put in your Student ID and Student PIN, then click on
“Get My Transcript”.
How to withdraw from the course: You may withdraw from a course via the internet at:
NSCC home page > Online Services > Register/Add/Drop Classes, and follow the
directions.

CLASS POLICIES
Extra credit: Extra-credit work is not available.
Incompletes: No “Incomplete” (I) grades will be given.
No Credit “NC” grades and Withdrawals: You must request an "NC" grade or
withdraw by the “last day to withdraw” indicated on the course calendar. If you
have not, you will receive a decimal grade for this course.
Cheating: Any cheating on exams will result in a score of zero (“0”) for that exam (which
can not be retaken). Copying an exam, sending an exam to another student, or keeping an
exam is considered cheating. Facilitating the cheating of another student is also
considered cheating, and both parties will receive a zero.
Posting Final Grades: Final grades will not be posted. You may check your grades via
the internet at: NSCC home page > Online Services > Look Up Your Grades.
Guidelines for Student Conduct: Students are expected to comply with student conduct
policy and procedures. Information on student responsibilities and rights is available at
the following website: www.seattlecolleges.com/services
Americans with Disabilities Act: If you need course adaptations or accommodation
because of a disability; you must contact Disability Services at phone 527-3697, or TTY:
526-0079 or on the web at http://access.northseattle.edu/services/ds.htm
Academic Honesty: Academic honesty is highly valued at NSCC. A student must
always submit work that represents his/her original words or ideas. If any words or ideas
are used that do not represent the student’s original words or ideas, the student is
expected to cite all relevant sources both in the text and in the references listing at the end
of the paper. The student should also make clear the extent to which such sources were
used. Words or ideas that require citations include, but are not limited to, all hardcopy or
electronic publications, whether copyrighted or not, and all verbal or visual
communication when the content of such communication clearly originates from an
identifiable source.

The grading scale is the same for everyone:
After all grades are in, students come to my office wanting me to make a new, easier,
grading scale just for them that does not apply to the rest of you.
These requests sound like this: “I only need one more point to get the next higher grade
… please.” “I am failing the class, so don’t give me the grade I earned, give me an NC
(or an Incomplete) instead.” “If you give me the grade I earned, I can not get into the
university.” “I need a 2.0, or I will be deported.” “I will lose my financial aid.” “I forgot
to take the test when it was scheduled with everyone else, so can I take it now (several
days later)?” “I tried (or I learned a lot) so you should give me a higher grade.” “I had
personal problems during the quarter, so you should increase my grade (or any deadlines
should not apply to me).” “I did not remember it was due then, so can I turn it in now?” I
can not grade based on any of these factors. You need to do the best you possibly can
from the first day of class, and feel confident the grade you receive at the end was the best
you are capable of.
If you need help with anything, please see me. I want you to do very well in class and
have established many items to help you do so. These include:
(1) “How To Study” sheet in this syllabus,
(2) Class Presentations
(3) Online power point slides,
(4) The text
(5) Study Guides,
(6) Exam Reviews,
(7) Chapter Diagrams
(8) My office hours if you need additional help understanding the material.
With all this support, please remember, the grading scale is the same for everyone.
11
Preparation for class activities
In the Daily Calendar (given out on the first day) you will see when each activity is due.
Before that day, complete the activity for that day.
1. Read about those concepts in the text
3. Complete the activity paper.
4. Have questions to ask in class if there is anything you do not understand.
When you come to class you should have the activity completed.
How to complete the activities:
1. Copy the word document to your desktop. Do not change anything.
2. Type your answers directly under the question and above the next question.
Receiving credit for the activities
Bring these fully completed activity sheets to class on the day they are assigned
(according to the daily calendar). If we do not meet a day for any reason, you still follow
the daily calendar.
To give you credit for completing these activities before class (and therefore being
prepared for class) I will stamp these fully answered sheets. These stamps will only be
given in class. They will not be stamped after the class time is over. Having them
completed in your computer but not printed will not receive a stamp, because I can not
stamp your computer screen. Also, please do not email these (or bring them in) before
class, or after class, saying I will not be able to be in class today, but I do not want to
make this up, so please give me a stamp.
You then hand in the activities at the end of the quarter and receive up to 100 points,
which is one third of your grade. Please note that these sheets need to be fully completed
to receive a stamp. There is no partial credit for being half done. The date stamp simply
means you have an answer for each item. It is not grading the accuracy of your answers.
If you do not understand the concept, please ask questions in class, because your
understanding will be evident on the exams.
If you are not in class for any reason, you may make up two of the stamps as discussed
below.
If you have not fully completed the activities before that class and therefore, did not have
the stamp, you may make up two of them by reading one article for each missed stamp as
discussed below.
12
How to make up activities:
I would like you to have experience reading an article in the academic journal “Health
Psychology”. Journal articles sound different than textbooks or websites.
To read the full text of Health Psychology articles on line, go to:
http://psycnet.apa.org.ez.sccd.ctc.edu:3048/
(You may need to copy and paste this into your internet browser)
Finally, log in and follow the directions in the paragraph below.
You can also get there by going to: Northseattle.edu > Library > Reference Databases >
Periodical Databases > PsycARTICLES > and log in if off campus. Next, under “Look
For”, type “Health Psychology”. Then, change IN (Any Field) to “Journal Title” from the
dropdown menu, and press “Search”.
Next, find an article that you are interested in. Read one of the major articles (at least six
pages), not a book review, and write a two page report on it (double spaced, with one inch
margins). On the entire first page, please summarize the article. On the second page you
may either continue the summary, or you may critique the article and/or relate it to
yourself.
At the top of the first page, please list:
(1) Title of the article
(2) The author(s)
(3) Title of the journal “Health Psychology”
(4) Volume, year, and page numbers
This information can be copied from the database and pasted directly into your
paper, for example:
Assessing the scholarly impact of health psychology
By Frosch, Dominick L.; Saxbe, Darby; Tomiyama, A. Janet; Glenn,
Health Psychology, Vol 29(5), Sep 2010, 555-562.
Please list this exactly as indicated above, so I can find the article if I need to.
You will not receive credit if all these items are not included.
13
Class folder: Activities
Your class folder will contain your stamped activities. Type your answer directly
into the assignment sheet. The questions (exactly as presented in the assignment) should
be in regular type. Do not paraphrase (reword) or rewrite the questions. This will result in
a zero grade for the folder because this attempts to hide the wording of the original
questions, and therefore, makes it difficult to grade.
At the end of the quarter, please hand in only the activities that have been stamped
(in the order we did them), along with the provided cover sheet in a folder with a clear
front cover and three brads (see example given in class). The stamp will only be given if
you are in class on the day we start discussing that activity, and have completed answers
to all the questions.
Back-up your work:
Activities are commonly lost, left in the computer, accidentally erased, computer
malfunction, etc.
It will be a good idea to make a second paper and electronic copy, of your
activities (particularly after they have been stamped) in case they are lost or stolen. If you
do not have your stamped activities (or a stamped copy) I have to assume you did not do
it.
Grading Exam Concepts:
The stamp simply means you had this completed for class, not that you have
received full credit for it. The actual grading occurs when you hand them in at the end of
the quarter. The main reason people lose credit is for no answer or minimal answers.
14
Class folder problem areas to avoid:
Please keep the activities in a folder and hand them in for grading (in the order
done) on the due date (see “Course Calendar” sheet for that date).
No folder (cover) reduces your score ten points. No completed “Contents” page
reduces your score ten points. “Completed” means you have indicated what stamps and
make-up articles you have, the points for each, and the total points in the folder. If you
put in the Contents page, but it has not been completed, it will still reduce your score ten
points.
The “Contents” page must be the printed one in this handout, not one you write up
yourself.
Late Class Folders are reduced 20 points for each calendar day
late.
Late folders containing the stamped activities are reduced 20 points for each calendar day
they are late. For example, if they are due on Monday, and you hand it in on Friday, it is
four days late. This reduces your score by 80 points.
You know the date and time the folders are due on the first day of class. On the day they
are due, hand in whatever you have at the beginning of class.
Folders may be handed in early.
I will accept these folders up to seven (7) calendar days (one week) before they are due.
15
How to get your folder in on time:
Here are suggestions to help you avoid common problems.
1. “I will be out of town, or unable to be in class the day the folders are due”
A. Hand it in early, or have someone else you trust bring it in.
If they do not
bring it in and give it to me personally, it is as if
you did not bring it in.
B. Mail it by certified mail with a return receipt (to be signed for by someone in
the mail room of the college, not myself personally), with a clear date stamp (or
by Fed. Ex.) on or before the day it is due.
2. “I couldn’t find that kind of folder”
Buy the folder during the quarter – before the last minute.
3. “My printer broke last night.”
A. Print each exercise out as you do it during the quarter.
B. Print it at Kinkos (some are open 24 hours)
C. Print it at the open lab. At NSCC (Rm. 3303)
4. “I forgot my folder at home.”
Put it in the car the day (or several days ) before class.
5. “My disk crashed and I can’t get to my assignments”
A. Print out the assignments as you do them.
B. Put the completed assignments on the “I” drive.
C. Make a back-up copy of you disk.
6. “I have all except the last two assignments.
Hand in what you have when they are due, and don’t hand in
what you don’t have.
7. “I lost all my assignments when I moved.”
Print out assignments from copies on your “I” drive. You did
save them on your “I” drive … didn’t you?
8. “I don’t have a hole punch.”
Punch them ahead of time at (a) Kinkos, (b) at home, (c) at
the NSCC library.
9. “I was in a car accident on the way to school on the day they were due.”
A. Have someone else hand it in.
B. Include a police report of the accident with the date, time and an officer’s
signature. If you were injured, include the ambulance and hospital paperwork.
Hand in this paperwork with your folder within 24 hours of the accident or release
from the hospital. If you don’t have the paperwork, don’t mention the accident.
10. “I was dying in the hospital.”
A. If you died, you do not have to hand it in.
B. Have someone else bring it in.
C. Hand in all the hospital paperwork, including the date and time admitted and
date and time released with a physician’s signature. These dates and times must
overlap with the date and time the folders are due. Hand in this paperwork with
your folder within 24 hours of being released. If I am not on campus, have a
secretary put a date and time stamp on it. If you don’t have the paperwork, don’t
mention the hospital.
11. “I had to pick up my parents at the airport.”
16
A. Hand it in early, or have someone else hand it in.
B. Mail it to arrive on time. (See #1.)
C. Include copies of the tickets, dated to arrive the day your paper was due.
12. “I do not have my folder because: (Pick the one you like.)
(A) I didn’t read the material above
(B) I don’t care
(C) I expect you to make an exception for me … please
(D) I was not in class the first day when you told us
(E) I don’t believe you will enforce this deadline because other people in my life
never did
(F)I could always hand it in late in high school.
Answer: Hand in whatever you have at the beginning of class on the day it is due.
If you still have to hand it is late, give it to my personally. If I am not on campus,
have a secretary put a date and time stamp on it, sign it, and put it in my mailbox. If there
is no date and time stamp on it, your folder is considered “received” on the day I
personally have it in hand.
Things to avoid telling me on the day the folders are being handed in:
1. I forgot to bring my folder (or it isn’t done yet) … can I bring it tomorrow?
2. Do you have a hole punch? Stapler? folder?
3. I didn’t know they were due today!
17
Chapter Diagrams:
Chapter diagrams are “Concept Maps” of the key concepts being discussed in
lecture, text, and exams. The theory behind these maps is that you can remember a
diagram (or photograph or drawing) better than written text or an outline. This is
particularly true of visual learners.
How to use them:
The best way to use these is to print them out on a color printer and have them in
front of you (along with the study guides) when you listen to the lectures. When listening
to the lectures, exam reviews, or reading the text, you can take notes and transfer the key
ideas to the concept diagrams for later study.
When writing the notes into your diagram, ask yourself if you understand them;
then explain it to yourself (or someone else). It will work even better if you can say this
aloud to yourself so you can hear it.
How to study with them:
1. Add any notes you want to the diagram
2. Develop a mental image of the diagram
3. Try to reproduce that image on a blank piece of paper without looking at the
original diagram.
4. Compare your diagram to the original.
A. The missing items are the ones you need to concentrate on
B. Repeat this process.
A video on this has been created and posted under: Course Resources > How To Videos.
Finally, these are just study aids. You do not need to use them if you do not want, and
there is nothing to complete or hand in.
18
HOW TO STUDY
1. Read the chapter ahead of the lecture
A. Read the summary at the end of each section and answers to the questions at
the back of the chapter.
This will give you an overview of what to look for.
B. Read the “Study Guides”.
This will give you an idea of what topics in the chapter we will be covering.
C. Scan the chapter and highlight the key exam concepts and terms.
These will be in bold print and italics
D. Underline definitions of terms in the text
E. Read the chapter
I. Ask yourself questions about each major heading
Turn headings into questions
II. Read just for the answer to the question
F. Review the Chapter Diagrams to get an overview of what will be covered.
2. Come to class each day.
A. Look at the Course Calendar to see what topics are being discussed that week.
B. Complete the study guide.
You do not need to hand it in.
C. Add information to the Chapter Diagrams
D. Take good notes
E. Compare the notes to the book to see what topics were discussed
in both class and text.
3. After class
A. Review notes quickly
B. Focus on the terms that are also in the study guide.
C. Listen to the class presentation as a review
4. Between the review day and the exam
A. Listen (repeatedly) to the review tape
B. Read sections of the book that
I. Were presented in the review
II. Not discussed in class.
C. Draw out the Chapter Diagrams, looking for items you do not remember.
Remember:
Anything in class or the book may be on the exam. However, this approach will help you
focus your study time on the material that is most apt to be on the exam.

How to print power Point slides:
If you want to print out the slides, and do not have PowerPoint on your computer :
Most computers with Microsoft Office software will be able to view Power Points and
play WMA recordings. If you do not, here are some places that will help.
Here are links for the PowerPoint viewer. I believe these are free downloads.
Power Point Viewer for a PC
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=428D5727-43AB-4F2490B7-A94784AF71A4&displaylang=en#Requirements
PowerPoint viewer for the Mac
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e25cb1e5-209c-4a58b283-23e84b616477&DisplayLang=en
Another cross platform product that can play PowerPoint slides:
I also understand the free download called Open Office has a section called Impress that
will play PowerPoint presentations. It also can be used on a PC. or a Mac. This can be
found at: http://www.openoffice.org/
How to listen to the WMA ( exam review) recordings
If you want to listen to the exam review recordings and do not have a WMA player on
your computer, (most all computers do) the following items are helpful.
To listen to the audio recordings, you need to download a copy of Windows Media
Player.
For a PC, go to:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/Browse.aspx?displaylang=en&categoryid=4
You may need to copy and paste this into your browser.
For Mac, go to:

To avoid losing points on the Class Folder, please check:
_____ Handed in on time?
(Late papers are reduced 20 points for each calendar day late.)
_____ In a folder with a clear front cover? (with three brads, not a
slider or three ring binder, etc.) (-10
Pts. if not)
_____ This original page completed and included? (- 10 Pts. if not)
“Completed” means you have listed the points you have for the stamps and articles, and totaled
them up in the form.
_____ Any item listed on this sheet that is not actually there, will reduce your score by fifteen (15) points
each.
_____ Put your name on the back of the folder (on a label if needed) so you can find yours when they are
returned.
Type (or write) your answers directly below the questions on the assignment.
Student statement: Read and sign before handing in for grading
I have carefully examined all the items in this folder and state they are all my work done during
this quarter, and all assignments were downloaded after the start of class. I realize the grade for this folder
will be based only on what is presented here. Nothing may be added or substituted later.
I realize any written material taken from other students (or a previous quarter) and presented here
will result in a zero grade for this entire folder.
_______________________________
Signature (Required prior to grading)
Read the information of the back of this sheet. You are responsible for knowing it!

Remember:
1. If you “copy & paste” directly from a web site, another student’s report, or other
source into your paper, it is plagiarism, and will result in a zero (“0”) for the entire report.
See “Plagiarism” in this syllabus.
2. If you just list the answers without the questions or rephrase the questions you will
receive a zero (“0”) because I do not know what questions you are answering, or where or
when you obtained the questions (or the answers).
3. If you are handing in the paper late, either give it to me personally or have our Division
secretary write a date and time on this page, sign it, and put it in my mailbox, not the
folder on the wall. If there is no date, time, and signature it is considered “received”
when I personally pick it up.
4. Hand it in during class on the date indicated in the syllabus and the course calendar.
You will have 20 points taken off for each calendar day it is late.
5. Keep copies of all stamped materials handed in until after you receive a final grade.
Your instructor may want to see them.
6. Do not tell me,” I handed it in, you must have lost it.” The folders are counted coming
in, and grades are counted going out. If the numbers match, and you do not have a grade,
you did not hand it in.
