Mr. Cass Florida SouthWestern Collegiate High School Psychology Mr. Cass Florida SouthWestern Collegiate High School Psychology *** Syllabus Highlights and Imperatives Maturity in this type of class is imperative. The importance of being able to discuss issues in this class openly with each other is imperative. The importance of being able to listen to your classmates with an open-mind is imperative. The importance of everyone feeling comfortable in our learning environment is imperative. Part of creating that environment involves sharing things with each other and getting to know one another. In this class, you will hopefully learn something about yourself, or, at least validate your beliefs In doing so, you be able to apply content and Psychological theories in a more meaningful way in AND out of class.

Class Philosophy Project based introductory course Will allow you to describe, explain, and predict human behavior by identifying the possible “how’s” and “why’s” of individual behavior(s) Will gain a knowledge of, and respect for, cultural differences and social norms.

Homework? Homework: Traditional, nightly homework is rarely given, although you DO have homework every night such as: Reading and annotating all chapters and sections listed below in your course outline. Completing projects and essays/reflections

NOTEBOOK/BINDER The notebook/binder is your life raft. Provides a study resource of reading and class/lecture notes Provides an organizational strategy This “binder” is your class notebook. Keep syllabus and all returned work NOTE: Quizzes and tests may AT ANY TIME be open notes.

Tests and Quizzes Assessments: Tests and quizzes (MC and FRQ style) Film analysis through reflections/essays Application activities Research projects Your chapter tests’ multiple choice questions come DIRECTLY from the information found within the text. Test FRQs (Free Response Questions) will also be derived from the information and vocabulary within the chapters you read plus documentaries/video lectures, and PowerPoint presentations (lectures).

TOP 10 WRITING ERRORS Note: This is not in the syllabus 1 point deduction/error that is BOLDED below Not capitalizing proper nouns such as countries, concepts/theories, Psychologists, etc. Starting a sentence with a lower case letter Not following basic APA formatting when instructed

Assignment Policy I do not give full credit for late work. All work is due on the assigned date. A letter grade - per day will be deducted until assignment is completed. After the fourth day, a ZERO will be logged in FOCUS NOTE: If you are present when work is assigned, the work is due ON THE DAY you return. I will allow two days after an excused absence to make up missed work. If you are absent, it is your responsibility to obtain missed assignments and information from either me or a trusted classmate. To get missed work, you may reach me at the email address. Makeup tests/quizzes and quizzes will be taken after school upon student’s return. The test WILL be different from the test given on the assigned date. The test/quiz will be the same content – but a different format.

Class Procedures Enter the room quietly, professionally, and respectfully. Do not come behind my desk unless asked – thank you. I do not tolerate cell phone usage, electronic device usage (unless instructed to do so) Cell phones must be turned off and placed in the crate by the front door at the start of class. You may take your phone at the end of class. “Do Now” activities will occur daily throughout the year. This means you should be answering the question on the screen – not talking – upon arrival. Bathroom breaks are allowed after the first 10 minutes of class and NOT allowed 10 minutes before the end of class. One person may leave at a time. The bell does not release you; I release you. NOTE: Because of the nature of the class, there will be times in which you will be expected to work independently – IN CLASS while researching or writing – as if we were in a library, thus respect for others by remaining quiet AND NOT leaving the room is not only expected, but required.
