This is PSY 202 Introduction to Psychology Part II - This Class will be taught in a Full Remote modality. We will meet on ZOOM, Tuesday & Thursday throughout the term, from 10:00am -11:50am.

Students need to have access to a computer and to log in myPCC Desire to Learn (D2L) at least once a day to check email, and to work on assignments for the class. 

 This class does not require tests, or exams, yet it requires the following 4 activities for each of the 7 chapters covered in this course, plus the attendance points for a cumulative total of 300 points

1- Read the chapter, and respond to corresponding CONNECT assignments.

2- Post discussions, based on the required videos.

3- Answer homework questions connected to the chapter, or to special articles/signature assignments.

4- Attendance/participation is part of the cumulative points, and represents part of your grade.

You need to organize your time to meet the assignments' deadlines. We will approximately be covering one chapter per week.

Pease let me know of your concerns as early as possible in the term, and meet with me (via google meet which I can set up) if you need to have a plan on how to succeed in the class.

I want you to succeed, enjoy the course, and be curious about the knowledge presented in it.

Students in this class will have a choice to purchase the textbook/e-book "Psychology: Perspectives and Connections" , 5th edition, by Feist and Rosenberg, either from McGraw-Hill publishers, or from the PCC bookstore. The two options are explained below.

If you took PSY 201 Introduction to Psychology Part 1 with me as an instructor in the Fall of 2023 or Winter 2024,  you do not need to purchase the textbook or the e-book,  you can use the same code for PSY 202 that you used in PSY 201. You still need to register for CONNECT PSY 202 though.

If you did not take PSY 201 at all, or took PSY 201 with another instructor using a different textbook, please continue reading, the following are your options.

• Option 1:
  You can purchase the textbook/e-book directly from the publishers. $75. With this option, you will get access to the E-Book, and will get an access to CONNECT Online Assignments.

If you would like a hard copy (loose leaf) sent to your home address by the publishers (optional), you will pay $25 dollars extra, for a total cost of $100. 

• Option2:
  You can purchase the textbook at the PCC bookstore for $128.00 , the new textbook will come with an access code for the the e-book and for CONNECT Online Assignments. 

A used textbook will not have the access code needed for the class, so please do not purchase it.

I will include the link to purchase the textbook from the publishers one week before the beginning of the term.
