During the semester, I will be recording my lectures,
converting them into .mp3 format and posting them on this page. The lectures
will remain available for the full semester. However,to save disk space, after an exam, I will remove all the recorded lectures that do not contain content that will be tested for on subsequent exam. The recorded
lectures on this site will also be posted as podcasts. The url for the
podcasts is http://www.cindy.sifonis.com/Classes/Exp250/ExpPodcast.rss.
The .mp3s will contain my lectures but not in-class demonstrations or films. The
powerpoint for the lecture is posted, so it is possible to use the mp3 in combination with the lecture handouts to study for classes that you might have missed. Keep in mind though, that class attendance is required in the course and important content will not always be captures on the mp3 recordings.
I know how difficult it is to keep track of your syllabus throughout
the
semester so I have provided you with a virtual syllabus. Now when you
misplace
your syllabus you can follow this link and print a brand new copy for
yourself.
Or you can skip printing it and just refer to your virtual syllabus
every
time you want to know what is planned for class that day/week/month.
These are pdf files of the lectures given in class. Some students bring
a copy of the day's lecture to class as an organizer for note taking.
Other
students use the handout as a study guide for an upcoming test. Some
students
just like to know what topics will be covered in class that day.
However
you decide to use these handouts, be advised that they are NOT to be
used
as a substitute for class attendance. They
will be missing important information such as example exercises, descriptions of classroom
demonstrations, and specific examples presented during the lecture.
These are the assignments you will be given during the semester. On
this
page you can see when each assignment was assigned, when it is due, and
what the requirements are for the assignment.
I frequently get asked about the nature of the questions on the tests
or
the material my students are expected to know. I have found that
posting
practice tests is very helpful in preparing for the test. At the very
least,
taking the practice test may inform you as to what material you still
need
to study.
You will need to use Moodle to access class readings, turn in many of your assignments, access your exam
grades and your
final grade for the class
This is the link to the psychology experiment sign up page. All
experiment
sign ups can be conducted on this site. As soon as you sign up you
receive
an email notice containing the details of your experiment (time, room,
etc.). If you do not see any available spaces for a particular
experiment,
check again later. The experimenters are constantly adding new time
slots.
This page contains various links to websites describing statistical
concepts (including demos), psuedoscience, and APA style guides.
