- Class Description:
- Psy 3011: Introduction to Learning and Behavior is taught as a mastery learning, self-paced, fully online course. This will include 13 chapter textbook (Mazur, 7ed) reading assignments of approximately 25 pages each supported by a study guide and lecture notes. You will use interactive modules on Moodle to master the chapter content. Once you have achieved mastery, you will take a chapter quiz. The final step each week will be a short practical application writing assignment based on the chapter. The writing assignments will have due dates each week. You can work ahead on all assignments and do everything EXCEPT the writing assignments after the writing deadlines. The final exam will be delivered online to students through Proctor U (see https://proctoru.com/howitworks.php for information) and on-campus times will also be available. The Course Catalog description (Methods/findings of research on learning and behavior change; Twentieth-century theoretical perspectives, including contemporary models; emphasizes animal learning and behavioral psychology.) is very concise but describes the purpose of this course quite well. The major goal is to provide you with a foundation in what psychologists know about learning and how it is conceptualized, studied, and applied. You will encounter lots and lots of facts. Once you master them, you will find them very useful. But mastering them is challenging and the course structure is designed to help you do that. The grading will be approximately as follows. Interactive mastery activities (on terminology and factual material, unlimited attempts with different items each time, best score counts, available until the end of the semester) and Final chapter quizzes (multiple choice, best of 3 attempts with items randomly drawn from a large pool, available until the end of the semester): 50%; Application writing assignments for each chapter (weekly due dates): 14%; Final Exam (multiple choice, closed book/notes, several available dates including early final times on ProctorU): 36%.
