Aims:
The goal of this course is to expose students to the discipline of Social
Psychology. This course is designated as a survey course; thus, a broad range of
topics in the area of Social Psychology will be covered throughout the semester.
This course should also inspire students to examine the social forces at work in
their own lives and in the world around them. Text:

Exam Policy:
Students are expected to take exams on the day scheduled. I may grant permission
to take an essay make-up test if you ask me ahead of time (and have a
very good reason). If you do not appear for an exam and have no good reason
(e.g., a doctor's note), you will not be able to make up the test. Attendance:
Attendance will not be taken in class; however, much (over 50%) of the material
tested will be from class. All
students are responsible for maintaining the highest standards of honesty and
integrity in every phase of their academic careers. The penalties for academic
dishonesty are severe and ignorance is not an acceptable defense. THIS SYLLABUS IS A WORKING DOCUMENT. CHANGES CAN BE MADE AT ANY TIME AT THE DISCRETION OF THE INSTRUCTOR. Day
