Study Sheet for our First Exam

The exam will cover the following:

Basic Perspectives and Methods

Perspectives in Social Psychology (chapter 1)

Assignments:

• Ask yourself : "What do I expect from this course"
• Main assignment: Read this syllabus thoroughly!
• Read the academic calendar

Methods in Social Psychology (chapter 2)

Research Ethics

• Background on Kant's categorical imperative.
• The problem of organizational ethics will be illuminated with Max Weber's reflection on modern organizations.
• In-class project: development of ethical regulations in bureaucratic organizations.

The focus of each exam is the material covered in class. This is largely reflected in the notes I make  available online.  Our textbook is quite comprehensive and should be used as background reading and as selected reading guided by the materials we cover in class.

How to study?

The very best way to improve is to learn from your mistakes.  My assistant, has your old exams in her office.  I suggest visiting him in his office hours (see electronic syllabus).  Once you determined pattern in your mistakes, we can start troubleshooting. 

 If the problem is content specific, consider the following study guide:

1. Prepare: organize your study plan.  Consider deadlines and exam dates.
2. Eat: read the relevant chapters in the textbook before coming to class.
3. Digest: use the class for asking questions you had about the reading.
4. Ruminate: take your class notes and/or my Internet postings to go though the assigned readings.  Take my lecture to guide you in your self-learning process.

If you have a specific question, please come by in my office hours. It is important that you are considered about your performance.  Studying is to a large part working on your improvement process.

I hope I can help.
