Introductory
Psychology II
IMPORTANT NOTICES
The final exam has been
tentatively scheduled for April 18th at 1:30 p.m. Do
NOT make irrevocable plans based on this, because it may
be changed. Just giving you heads up.We are continuing according to the sequence of the schedule, but we are doing some catchup because I had to cancel classes for one unit because of illness. Some material is being dropped from each unit and videos not shown in class are to be viewed online as homework. Rest assured you will never be tested on material not covered.
One other thing to note is that the unit on Facilitated Communication has been moved forward to March 7th and 8th, and so the other units previously scheduled before it are moved down a date. This revision in the schedule is as below.
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
For those of you really interested in psychology, and
related disciplines such as philosophy and the other
sciences, there is now a list server on which you can
discuss ideas raised in class and share internet links
to interesting content! I'll post links to other
cool stuff you may wish to investigate. Other
faculty will also contribute material. And you can
contribute too!
For those unfamiliar with list servers, they are simply
email groups where everyone who is a member can write an
email to the list server that will then be forwarded to
everyone else in the group, and where replies are also
automatically sent to everyone in the group.
This list server is open to anyone interested in
joining. Any student interested (no matter what
their major) need only request to join by sending an
email to ken@stange.com. An invitation then will
be sent back, and simply replying to the invitation will
suffice to join the group. One can, or course,
drop out of the email list at any time.

content. Viewer discretion advised.
SYLLABUS Required reading!
The course has two components: a lecture session every week and a lab session approximately every other week.
For information on the lab component, go here.
Ken Stange is responsible for the Lecture Component.
Stephanie Hevernor is responsible for the Lab Component (and grade record keeping).
We want our students to do well, but this
is not an easy course for those who don't keep up with the
work, meet deadlines, and conscientiously attend lectures
and labs.
LECTURE UNITS
Students may view, download, and even print out the
PowerPoints Presentations for each lecture unit.
However the links to these units will only be activated
later in the week of the completion of the
lecture. They are made available as an aid to
reviewing one's notes and memories from class.
They are not a substitute for attending class.
(Links to AV materials within these Powerpoints are not
activated for both copyright reasons and technical
reasons, but in many cases pointers to where to find the
material on the Internet is included in the slide.)

TEXTBOOK
The textbook is Psychology: Frontiers and Applications (Fourth Canadian Edition) by Passer, Smith, Atkinson, Mitchell, and Muir. Reading the textbook and knowing the content is entirely the student’s responsibility.
The first 7 chapters were covered in Psyc 1106.
Psyc 1107 covers the themes for chapters 8
through 16. Chapters related to lecture
material should be perused before the lecture is
presented. See the syllabus for details.
Remember Pavlov's Principle: You can't teach a sleeping
dog (or student) new tricks!
Sincerely in peace within complexity,
Ken Stange
