PSYCHOLOGY 310: PSYCHOLOGY OF PERSONALITY
Spring, 2009
(Note: this website is for the "lecture" version, not the
"web" version, of this course)
Course Description: An examination of theory and research on human
personality from a variety of perspectives, including the dispositional,
biological, psychoanalytic, neoanalytic, learning, phenomenological, and
cognitive perspectives.
Required Text:
Carver, C., & Scheier, M. (2008).
Perspectives on
personality (6th Ed.). Boston: Allyn & Bacon

Grading:
- There will be four non-cumulative 50-item multiple-choice examinations.
Each item will be worth one point. Each exam will cover material from both
the readings and the lectures.
- There will be approximately 22 brief pass/fail
homework assignments. Homeworks submitted in class the day the homework is
due are worth 1 point. Homeworks submitted by the end of the subsequent
class session are worth .5 points. Homeworks will not be accepted after that
point or at any time outside of class or by e-mail unless accompanied by
a documented excuse (i.e., a note from a doctor for medical conditions or
from the university for family emergencies or athletic events). If you
misplace a homework, the current homework will be posted at
www.class.uidaho.edu/klocke/310homework.htm.
- You may participate in psychology experiments for extra credit. You will
receive 2 points of extra credit for every half hour of participation up to
a maximum of 10 points. You can sign up for experiments at http://uidaho.sona-systems.com.
- After the first exam, a spreadsheet showing
scores for the exams and homework will be posted to www.class.uidaho.edu/klocke/310grades.htm
approximately every two weeks.
- Final grades will be based on the number of points you accumulate divided
by the possible number of points (200 + the number of homework assignments),
with 88% = A, 76% = B, 64% = C, 52% = D.
