EVALUATION
Your grade for this course will be based on your successful completion of the following:
A TOTAL OF 303 POINTS CAN BE EARNED DURING THIS CLASS
Examinations (50%): 3 tests over each module = 150 points (50 pts. each
exam).
Comprehensive final exam (20%): 60 points.
Internet site reviews (A total of 15 reviews)
(15%): 45 points (3 pts. each site).
Experiences (A total of 12
experiences) (6%): 18 points (1.5
pts. each experience).
Critical Thinking Experiences (A total of 3
CTEs) (10%): 30 points (10 points
each).
EXPERIENCES:
Complete a total of 12 experiences over the next
11 weeks. Four experiences are required for each module. You may submit
your experiences at any time while we are covering each module (refer to calendar).
It is highly recommended that you read the chapter that precedes each
experience. The purpose of the experiences is to allow you to
"feel" the concepts and principles of social psychology through
active participation. Experiences will give you some "hands on
experience." After you have completed an experience, submit your
responses to me. When submitting responses, be sure to include the name
of each experience as well as its chapter reference. When specific
questions are asked, be sure to type out the question(s), followed by your
answer(s). Be sure to SPECIFICALLY LABEL all
submissions with your name and the Chapter Number. Include the title of your
experience as well. An experience
submission should read as follows:
INTERNET SITES:
I have included in each chapter, one or more hot
linked social psychology related Web sites that you may find of
interest/relevance. Visit 15 sites during the semester. 5 sites per
module are required. After you visit a site, send me 20 to 30 lines of
information describing what you found. In your review include your evaluative
comments. Whenever possible, incorporate text material into your review by
applying relevant theoretical concepts. If a site "dies"
during this semester, choose an alternative site. There are over 20 sites
listed for this class. A couple of dead sites should not interfere with
your Internet review responsibilities. Be sure to
SPECIFICALLY LABEL all submissions with your name and the Chapter Number.
Include the URL of the site visited as well. A heading for a web review should look as follows: Web
Rev.,
TESTS:
There will be a 45-50 item multiple-choice test
at the end of each module and a 60 item COMPREHENSIVE FINAL EXAM will conclude
the course. Exams will be taken on-line through
the ANGEL Learning System.
Please note that grade determination is based on the "absolute scale" method where A = 90-100% (272-303 pts.); B = 80-89% (242-271 pts); C = 70-79% (212-241); D = 60-69% (182-211).
CRITICAL THINKING EXERCISES:
Every two weeks a critical thinking question
will be posed to all students. Students will need to respond to these
questions based on relevant web sites, chapter readings, and additional
readings that I will be posting to all students.
