Course Description
Introduction
to Psychology
Psychology 1330 is an introduction to the scientific study
of human thought and behavior. This course is designed
for students who may major or minor in psychology and
serves as a foundation for upper level courses in
psychology. It is also an excellent addition for any nonpsychology student who is interested in understanding
people at a deeper level. This course introduces the major
theories, methods, and findings of modern psychology to
examine how the thoughts, feelings and behaviors of
humans are influenced by biological, social and
environmental factors.

Course Policies
Diversity of Views and Class Etiquette:
At times in this course, topics will be discussed and/or debated. Debates and discussion are a mainstay
of academic life! Although you may encounter others with different opinions, you are expected to be
respectful of the opinions and views of others and make efforts to maintain the privacy and respect of
the other members of the class. Behavior that negatively affects the learning environment of the class is
discouraged, and if disruptive enough, a student may be referred to the appropriate committees.
ESL Policy:
If English is not your first language and you believe you will need more than the time allotted to
complete the exam, please see the instructor. Foreign language dictionaries will not be allowed in
exams but all students may ask for help with words that are not technical psychological terms. Please
feel free to discuss any concerns with the instructor.
Scholastic Dishonesty:
Any act that violates the rights of other students with respect to academic work that involves
misrepresentation of a students own work is scholastic dishonesty, including (but not limited to)
cheating on assignments or exams. Scholastic dishonesty will not be tolerated: students who cheat or
engage in unauthorized collaboration on an exam or assignment will receive a zero and may risk failing
the entire course. In addition, instances of scholastic dishonesty may be reported to an appropriate
Scholastic Conduct Committee or Deans Office. Please refer to Hamline University Honor Code on
what constitutes academic dishonesty and misconduct.
Students with Disabilities or Special Needs:
It is the university policy to provide, on a flexible and individualized basis, reasonable accommodations
to students who have disabilities that may affect their ability to participate in course activities or to meet
course requirements. Students who seek special or compensatory arrangements with respect to the
course or testing are encouraged to contact the instructor and Disability Services (651)523-2521 as early
as possible. Please consult Hamline University policies on what constitutes a disability.
