- Scientific study of human behavior. Problems, methods, findings of modern psychology.
- Class Description:
- Psy 1001 is a 4-credit introduction to the scientific study of human behavior and a prerequisite for all other Psychology courses. The course explores how something as complex as human behavior can be studied scientifically. Students will be introduced to biological, social and environmental factors that influence human behavior; predictable ways in which humans behave, reason, remember and feel; some important ways in which people differ, and how psychologists 'know' what we know. Each week, students attend (either in person or online) three lectures given by University of Minnesota Faculty, teaching in their area of expertise. In addition, each week they participate in a discussion section led by a graduate student in Psychology during which they "do" psychology in active learning activities. As part of their discussion sections, students complete writing activities to apply what they are learning in psychology to their everyday lives. --Students in sections 002-015 attend live lectures and have one-hour discussion sections of 40 students. --Students in sections 017-20 view lectures on the internet at their convenience and have 75-minute discussion sections of 40 students. The first hour is the same activity as that done by sections 002-015. The extra 15-minutes provides time to review concepts and get questions answered. --Students in section 21 have the same basic assignments but view lectures and complete discussion section activities online. --Exams are completed in a proctored computerized testing center in Elliott Hall.

- This is a fully online section offered through Online and Distance Learning (ODL), College of Continuing Education. You work independently, not as part of a student group. Visit "Class URL" for ODL policy, fee, and financial aid restrictions. Psy 1001 (online) utilizes a computer-assisted version of the Personalized System of Instruction (PSI) model. Key principles of PSI are specified learning objectives and study aids, small units (for us, these units are the chapters in your textbook), frequent testing with feedback to students, and mastery learning. The materials I've created for this course do three things. First, by focusing your attention on the main points, they make sure you don't miss important information. Second, because feedback is essential to learning, the computer exercises give you feedback when it will do you the most good--right after you finish an exercise--so that you can use that feedback to improve your knowledge. Much of what you do can simply be called practice, but it is guided practice. This will take longer than just reading but the old saying is as true about psychology as anything else "practice makes perfect."

Visit "Class URL" for ODL policy, fee, and financial aid restrictions. Psy 1001 (online) utilizes a computer-assisted version of the Personalized System of Instruction (PSI) model. Key principles of PSI are specified learning objectives and study aids, small units (for us, these units are the chapters in your textbook), frequent testing with feedback to students, and mastery learning. The materials I've created for this course do three things. First, by focusing your attention on the main points, they make sure you don't miss important information. Second, because feedback is essential to learning, the computer exercises give you feedback when it will do you the most good--right after you finish an exercise--so that you can use that feedback to improve your knowledge. Much of what you do can simply be called practice, but it is guided practice. This will take longer than just reading but the old saying is as true about psychology as anything else "practice makes perfect."

- Class Description:
- Psy 1001 is a 4-credit introduction to the scientific study of human behavior and a prerequisite for all other Psychology courses. The course explores how something as complex as human behavior can be studied scientifically. Students will be introduced to biological, social and environmental factors that influence human behavior; predictable ways in which humans behave, reason, remember and feel; some important ways in which people differ, and how psychologists 'know' what we know. Each week, students attend (either in person or online) three lectures given by University of Minnesota Faculty, teaching in their area of expertise. In addition, each week they participate in a discussion section led by a graduate student in Psychology during which they "do" psychology in active learning activities. As part of their discussion sections, students complete writing activities to apply what they are learning in psychology to their everyday lives. --Students in sections 002-015 attend live lectures and have one-hour discussion sections of 40 students. --Students in sections 017-20 view lectures on the internet at their convenience and have 75-minute discussion sections of 40 students. The first hour is the same activity as that done by sections 002-015. The extra 15-minutes provides time to review concepts and get questions answered. --Students in section 21 have the same basic assignments but view lectures and complete discussion section activities online. --Exams are completed in a proctored computerized testing center in Elliott Hall.
