課程概述（中文、英文）
Psychological Science gives students an enticing
overview of contemporary psychological research. It
develops psychological literacy by presenting the
material in a way that is directly related to their lives.
It shows students how culture and gender can affect
the way they view the world. And it asks them to
consider the difficult new ethical dilemmas stemming
from advances in psychological research. Throughout
the text, real world psychology icons point out

especially relevant examples, case studies important
areas of applied research, and even potential career
fields. Examples include how to deal with pain,
whether childhood memories can be trusted, how to
get better sleep, and how to maintain a long-term
committed relationship.
教學目標
授課課程大綱明細
Academic integrity is one of the fundamental
principles of a university community. Our university
expects the highest standards of academic honesty
from all students. Violations of academic integrity
include the following: (1) peeking other’s answer
during the exam, (2) unauthorized assistance on
others’ exam, (3) plagiarism, and (4) any other
serious violation of academic integrity as established
by the instructor.
If your academic integrity is not maintained on a
test or the final report, you will automatically receive
a grade of zero for that test or report, and you will be
reported to your departmental office in accordance
with NCKU academic integrity policy. Penalties can
be severe. So please respect the dictum: “Honesty is
the best policy”.

課程要求
If you have a pager or a cell phone, make sure that it
is set to vibrate prior to entering the classroom…if it
rings during class, I will get to answer it! And if you
plan to leave early, please sit at the back to minimize
affecting others. And please add Yun-Yun’s warning:
bring those bottles/juices/food bags with you when
you leave the room (instead of leaving it under your
seat).
Scores:
(a) Tests There will be 3 exams during the fall
semester. The dates of these tests are noted in the
Course Schedule included below. Each test will be
worth 100 points, and comprise 20% of your final
grade. Each test will consist of 50 multiple-choice
questions (2 points each). The tests will cover each
section of the course independently, except the last
exam, which will be cumulative. All test questions
will come from lectures and readings in the textbook.
Therefore, you MUST read the textbook in order to
do the test well.
評量方式
(b) Quizzes Depending on the speed and the
progress of content, we will have random quizzes
during each course (and sometimes even at the
beginning of each class). Therefore, you will need to
attend the course, get your IRS (infrared response
system) before the class starts, and use this IRS （按
按按）for response, in order to get your responses
recorded and collected. Your test results will
comprise 40% of your final grade, so do show up in
each lecture to get this important 40%.
Extra warning: if you get caught pressing the
IRS for others, both of your scores for the whole
semester will be zero-ed（被發現幫別人按鍵作答
者，兩者學期分數皆以零分計算）. And if you

forget to turn in the IRS after exiting the course, we
will also call your cell (so you have to fill out the cell
phone number and email address, in case we need to
reach you). If you make the IRS kit damaged or lost,
you have to pay $2000 NTD for re-purchasing the
item. So please beware of the consequence.
(c) Research participation Every student
enrolled in Psychology 101 is required to take part in
psychological research currently conducted in the
Institute of Cognitive Sciences. Through the doodle
online booking system (you have to create a free user
account at http://www.doodle.com), participants will
receive one extra point (to a maximum of 5 points) of
the final grade for each experimental session.
(d) Research summary Extra credit can be
earned by writing a 5~10-page abstract of (at least)
two articles from current (published in 2009 or 2010)
APA journals, chiefly from Trends In Cognitive
Sciences (TICS) and Psychological Sciences.
Students who do well on this will be given some extra
final grade. If, near the end of the semester, you find
your scores are in the danger zone (50-59), please
seriously consider writing one or two papers.
Examples of past example of full (5) points is given
in the moodle forum.
You might notice that our total grades, when adding
up, will exceed 100 points. This is primarily because
in the past, there were students who desperately
needed those extra points to be over 60 (or sometimes
not even enough), while some others exceeded 100 (if
adding everything).
