Course Objective
1. To acquire a foundational knowledge of various psychological theories and evidenced research studies (e.g., underlying assumptions, terminology, classifications, and methods).
2. To cultivate critical thinking skills that enable students to evaluate research and tell the difference between scientific claims and “pseudoscientific” claims.
3. To integrate information from multiple psychological perspectives and identify areas of consistency and inconsistency across theories.
4. To establish connections between psychological literature and personal values and goals.
5. To foster enthusiasm and curiosity for the subject matter of psychology, promoting an increased appreciation for psychology.
6. To develop the ability to access and utilize sources of information in the social and behavioral sciences.
 
Course Requirement
‧ Lectures: Lectures will cover the material from the book chapters and additional supplementary material. The lectures are designed to enhance your understanding of what you’ve read and put it in context. Lecture slides and videos will be made available on NTU COOL, the course platform.
‧ Exams: There will be two exams. The exams will consist of multiple-choice questions and will assess your knowledge of all the materials covered in the course, including both lecture content and textbook material. Exams are NOT cumulative. If you have any special testing considerations due to a learning disability or physical handicap, please inform me prior to the exam so that appropriate accommodations can be made.
‧ Assignments: Students will be expected to complete four written assignments throughout the course. All assignments must be submitted to NTU COOL. Any assignment that is emailed to the instructor instead of being submitted to the course website will receive a grade of zero.
‧ Discussion/Participation: Active participation in class discussions is a vital component of the course. Students will be encouraged to engage in thoughtful discussions, allowing for a deeper understanding and personal exploration of the course material. These discussions aim to facilitate critical thinking and meaningful experiences related to the subject matter.
