| Unit Description |
PSYC 101 and 102 are the two introductory psychology units which are the prerequisites for enrolment in second year psychology units. Together they present an introductory overview of the subject matter and methods of psychology. Topics covered in PSYC 101 concern features of individual functioning, including: neurobiological basis of behaviour; psychological development; sensory processes; perception; learning and conditioning; and memory. An introduction to the nature of psychology and its methods is also included. For on-campus students there are two or three lectures per week with at least eight hours of compulsory laboratory sessions per semester. For off-campus students there is a mandatory three-day residential school. Assessment is based on laboratory exercises, a major essay, and an end-of-semester examination. |
