GRADES: Class grades are based on the scores from the midterm, the final exam, and satisfaction of the subject-pool requirement. The midterm exam contains 60 multiple-choice questions and the final exam contains 100 multiple-choice questions. The final exam is cumulative. The midterm will be worth 40% of your grade and the final 60%. There will be no make-up exams; you must be able to make the exam times or you must drop the course. If your final exam grade is higher than your midterm grade, we will use only your final exam grade and research participation requirement to calculate your course grade. If your final exam grade is lower than your midterm grade, then we will weigh your two exams according to the guidelines above. You must take the midterm. There is a research participation requirement for the course which will be described during the first discussion section. If you miss that discussion section, it is your responsibility to see a TA and get the information so that you can fulfill this requirement (http://www.psych.ucsb.edu/undergraduate/subject-pool/subject.htm). If you do not fulfill the research requirement (by participating in subject pool OR writing the research paper, as specified in the guidelines), your course grade

    Biological Psychology is an inherently difficult subject with a heavy vocabulary load, relative to other psychology courses. I suggest that you take time after each lecture to memorize the terminology, as cramming for exams will not work well for this course. This is because the lectures build on one another in terms of vocabulary, and the exams are designed to assess in-depth knowledge as opposed to superficial recognition of terms and concepts.…

    Psychology is the process of understanding ones mental processes such as how and why one thinks, feels, and behaves the way they do. Psychology is the process by which the scientific method is used to better understand and test these processes (Allport, 1985). Psychology was established as a means to blends these two differing schools of thought into one.

Just how far that resemblance extends, however, has been a matter of some controversy. Researchers agree that the apes have acquired fairly large vocabularies in American Sign Language and in artificial languages, but they have drawn quite different conclusions in addressing the following questions:…
