Welcome to the History of Psychology! |
| History of Psychology is a course for
senior psychology
majors and others who have an interest in the field. We will
examine
the historical progression of ideas central to psychology, the
philosophical
and empirical roots of those ideas, and the confluence of those ideas
into
the various systems we have today.
Text: There is no physical text for this course. Instead, I have placed my own "e-text" on the internet, along with various additional readings. You can reach a specific chapter or reading by clicking on its name in the syllabus below. Grades: Your grade will be based on the quality of a journal. For each of the twenty assignments this course involves, I ask that you send me, via e-mail, a review of the required readings for that section. Each review should be at minimum 500 words. (Most word processors have a word-counting function, in case you need it.) You may, of course, write more if you want! In each journal page, I would like you to (1) indicate aspects of the readings that you found interesting or agreed with and why, (2) indicate aspects of the readings that you thought strange or disagreed with and why, and (3) ask any questions about the readings that you would like me to answer. I do not want you to give me an outline of the readings. Important note: I cannot translate some word processing texts, so please always type or cut-and-paste your work directly onto an e-mail! (Thanks.) I will return each review with my comments and responses to your questions. The grades are good (for most papers), excellent (for a few papers), needs improvement (for the obvious). If you think of them as As, Bs and Cs, you get a good idea of what they represent. You can feel free to re-do a paper at any time. Any missing assignment, or one that is clearly unacceptable, receives an F. Note, however, that even one F that hasn't been re-done earns an F for the course -- don't let that happen! I expect you to send me four or five reviews each week, one at a time. This will give me the time I need to read and comment on your papers, and will keep you on track. Please note that I am not allowed to give extensions -- sorry! I hope you enjoy the course! E-Mail (write it down!): cgboeree@ship.edu |
