Psychology 3370-R10 Spring 2016
This is a seminar-based course in which the success or failure of each class largely depends on
the extent to which each student is prepared to discuss each week’s readings. It almost goes
without saying therefore that each week’s readings must be closely read and thought about prior
to class.
Each week you are responsible for the readings, and for two, possibly three (depending on
enrollment) seminar presentations throughout the semester. Please ensure that questions related
to your seminars, handouts and any other relevant information are posted on the course website
at least 48 hours in advance of each class. Email these questions to me and I will post them.
Missed seminar presentations cannot be made up or rescheduled – make sure you’re
present and prepared to present on the day your seminar is scheduled.
Participation in class discussion will be evaluated each week. Your participation grade is
determined by both your thoughtful and informed contributions, and of course by attendance.
One 1200 – 1500 word essays is required. This is an analysis of the nature of personality, based
on three readings. Ensure that your essay incorporates different readings, and the readings don’t
duplicate the readings you presented in your seminars. This essay is due on the last day of
classes, April 11. Depending on registration numbers, this assignment can be converted into an
additional seminar.
