Discipline Specific InformationThis course is an introduction to the field of psychology. It includes the history, scientific methodology, major theoretical schools of thought, various approaches to interpersonal functioning, and human development. The psychological application of ethics as well as social and cultural diversity are integrated into the course. This course partially satisfies the writing requirements outlined in the General Education Requirements. Credit is not given for both PSY 1012 and PSY 1020H or IDS 1610.

Attendance Policy

Live Online Class attendance and full participation is required of all students in all classes. A student may be withdrawn for excessive absences (both unexcused and excused) and/or not actively participating in the course.

In addition students classified as "No Show" for both of the first two weeks will be administratively withdrawn. Immediately following the 60 percent point in the term, the instructor will verify which students are actively participating.

Active participation is defined as completing the weekly attendance activity or activities assigned each week. The attendance activity or activities may be an online discussion, written assignment, quiz, and/or test. If you do not complete the attendance activity or activities by the weekly due date, you will be counted as absent. Two or more consecutive absences may result in inactive participation. Students classified with inactive participation may be administratively withdrawn with a "WF."

Page 8: SPRING 2021 ACADEMIC CALENDAR - St. Petersburg College · Web viewStudents should know how to navigate the course and use the course tools. Dropbox-style assignments may require attachments

If illness or other emergencies prevent your active participation, please notify the instructor immediately to determine an academic plan.

Students will be able to withdraw themselves at any time during the semester. However, requests submitted after the 60 percent deadline will result in a "WF." Students and the instructor will automatically receive an email notification to SPC email whenever a withdrawal occurs.

Excused absences that have been communicated with the instructor and documented accordingly will not count against you.  Frequent communication with the instructor is highly recommended.

For additional information, please view the college-wide attendance policy in the Syllabus Addendum.

GradingThe student's final grade in this course is determined on the basis of accumulated points as follows:

A = 900 - 1000 points (90 - 100%)

B = 800 - 899 points (80 - 89.9%)

C = 700 - 799 points (70 - 79.9%)

D = 600 - 699 points (60 - 69.9%)

F = 0 - 599 points (0 - 59.9%)

Extra credit is not provided in this course.  Also, students need to keep up with the completion of all assignments.  Not completing assignments and therefore receiving a grade of 0 quickly reduces grades.  Students are strongly encouraged to carefully manage time to avoid not completing assignments by the due date.

Students are encouraged to complete each textbook activity, (which follows reading each textbook section), if you aren’t satisfied with your 1st grade, you can complete the activity a second time and the highest score will be used.  For each written assignment and discussion forum, a rubric is provided.  Students are encouraged to carefully review the rubric prior to submitting the written assignment or discussion forum to ensure that you earn all of the possible points. 

The instructor will not "bump up" grades at the end of the semester.  Instead, students are encouraged to work with the instructor throughout the semester and to carefully review written assignment/discussion forum feedback to implement strategies for improvement throughout the semester.
