Exams:  There are four examinations of your knowledge of organizational psychology. A review sheet will be posted on the course webpage one week prior to the testing date explaining the content and format of each exam. The final exam is not cumulative. I may refuse to give make-up tests or may give make-up tests consisting entirely of essay questions. Students whose primary language is not English or who need assistance should consult with me one week before every testing date. Each exam is worth 50 points. (200)

Quizzes. There are four eLearning quizzes on the chapter readings, due prior to the class period. Each quiz is worth 10 points. (40)

Papers: You must write one 4-5 page paper (out of three options), due at various times throughout the semester. The paper generally requires applying theory and research discussed in class. Instructions for each paper are on eLearning. The paper is worth 50 points. (50)

Attendance. Ten points will be awarded for perfect attendance. After one absence, one point will be subtracted for each additional absence. Please make sure to initial the attendance sheet each day you are in class. (10)

eParticipation. A total of 10 points may be earned for participation on eLearning. Participation can consist of discussion or posting relevant links. (10)

Extra Credit:  Up to 10 extra-credit points may be available by arrangement with me. Extra-credit may be obtained by volunteering for research studies in psychology, writing article reviews, or doing anything else approved by me.
