We live in a time of breathtaking discovery regarding the processes by which mammalian nervous systems are formed and function in everyday behavior. Psych 240 is designed to provide the basic conceptual tools needed to understand these discoveries, evaluate news reports, seek further information, and even begin to pursue a career in this area.

Academic prerequisites: The only formal prerequisite is Psych 105 or (Biol 123/124L or 201).

Structure of course:
This course requires active participation throughout the semester. There are weekly assignments.

However students who enroll but do not participate will be dropped, so some places may open up on the final day of the drop/add period.

There will be required weekly class chat sessions online: one will be available on Saturday mornings and one additional weeknight to be determined by class vote. Grade is based on on 18 quizzes + 5 unit exams + 5 special topic online lectures with post-tests + term paper + smaller written assignments. The 5 unit exams will require proctors.

Support services are available to help students operate online, but ultimately IT IS THE STUDENT’S RESPONSIBILITY TO ACCESS THE COURSE SOFTWARE WITHIN THE FIRST TWO WEEKS OF ENROLLMENT and seek any assistance required in order to successfully logon to WebCT course site and submit assignments.

We will discover the origins, processes, texts and beliefs that are crucial to our understanding of the ‘Western’ religious traditions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. We will examine the impact that these traditions have on our everyday lives, whether we are practitioners or not. Through readings, class discussions, writings, and other media, we will investigate the history current events, trends and influences surrounding these traditions while fostering an attitude of understanding and tolerance.
