Introduction to Psychology
Welcome to this class. An on-campus orientation will be held Fri June 18 from 1pm-2pm pm in LL109. If this is your first online class, I HIGHLY suggest you attend this orientation. This is NOT a self-paced online class. A schedule will be posted and you are expected to meet the deadlines/due dates for quizzes, exams, discussion board posts, readings, and assignments.
On-line classes "meet" entirely online and can
be assessed 7/24 from anywhere. The only on-campus meeting is an
orientation. Yet these classes
are different from face-to-face classes
in another way; that is, you as the student have to take more
responsibility for learning the course material; you must be more
motivated, more organized, and more self-disciplined than if you were
taking a class on campus.
Your final grade will
be based on: I will open up our Blackboard site on Monday morning June 21 To access our site, go to the Palomar web home page http://www.palomar.edu and click on Blackboard which is found at the top of the page. That will bring you to the Login screen. Click on Login. If this is your first online class before clicking Login, click on Students; this will bring to a short tutorial on what is your username and password.

I do not care which "format" of text
you use (hardback, soft cover, etc) as long as it is the 9th edition.

You
must consistently set aside at least 6-9 hours a week to study this
material. One suggestion from a former “A” student is to actually write on
a calendar the times when you will study and faithfully stick to this
schedule.
