PSY 241
Abnormal Psychology: Spring 2008 Grades FINAL GRADES as of April 24, 2008. Course Schedule: REVISED as of March 3, 2008
Guest Speaker/Hearing Voices Questions: Click on the speaker’s name below to access the requirements for the written assignment. Click for a sample of an excellent Guest Speaker paper. Chapter Notes: Click on the chapter title to access power point
notes for each class. You should print
these out and bring them with you to class.
I would recommend that you choose “handouts” instead of “slides” in
the ‘Print what?’ drop down menu; otherwise you will end up with only one
slide per page!

Course Evaluation: Your course grade will be based on the total number of points earned
from exams and guest speaker/experience papers. ·
Written Papers: Guest Speakers and Hearing
Distressing Voices Training Exercise o You must be present in class to hear the guest speaker or participate in the training exercise in order to complete the assignment. o An assignment sheet is available on my instructor web site. o The papers must be typed, single-spaced, ~1" default margins in 12 pt font. o The speaker/training papers require clear, concise and meaningful information for a maximum of 30 points. o Papers are due in class at the beginning of the class period assigned.(see course schedule). Late papers will be worth only half credit. o If you miss a guest speaker or the training exercise, you will be allowed one make-up/alternative assignment.
Exam policy Exams require the use of a #2 pencil and a pen. Please arrive on time. Students who arrive late to class will not be allowed additional time. A make-up exam will be allowed only with advance permission of the instructor and will require documentation of the reason for the absence (i.e., doctor’s excuse, subpoena). Unexcused and/or undocumented absences will result in a loss of half the points earned on the make-up exam. Any exception to this policy will be at the sole discretion of the instructor. Extra Credit: You may earn up to 15 points of extra credit. Extra credit may be earned by bringing in news articles (not internet) related to mental health, legal initiatives, etc. An oral presentation of the material is worth up to 3 points; a written summary is worth up to 5 points per article. An alternative assignment (available on my instructor web site) is also available for extra credit. Final Grade Your course grade is based on your exams (120 points) and papers (120 points). The total number of points possible for the course is 240. This does not include any extra credit points.
