In what ways would you like this course to contribute to your students’
education? Walker and McKeachie (1967) offer these goals for introductory psychology:
. Communicate elementary concepts
. Communicate facts in support of concepts
. Introduce the student to the full range of subject matter
. Integrate course material
. Communicate basic attitudes of the discipline
. Communicate the intrinsic interest of the subject matter
. Present the newest developments in the field
. Provide individual guidance and monitoring
. Develop selected intellectual skills
. Provide a suitable identification model for the students
THREE MONTHS BEFORE THE FIRST CLASS
MEETING
DRAFT A WORKING SYLLABUS DETAILING THE FOLLOWING:
. The sequence of topics to be covered, with approximate time blocks allocated to each
. Readings to be assigned for each topic
. New lectures you plan to prepare, with a brief summary of major points to be included in each
. Old lectures you want to improve
. Demonstrations and discussions you expect to conduct
ii
. Guest speakers you hope to schedule, with alternates in case your first choices are unavailable
. Films and other audiovisual aids, with their intended use (e.g., films will be scheduled for class
time, while some audio and video tapes may be put on reserve in the library and recommended
in conjunction with appropriate topics)
FINALIZE COURSE PLANS
Finalize the syllabus except for specific dates for guest lecturers not yet committed and other details yet
unknown. It is OK to note that plans for some class periods are “in preparation.”
ONE TO TWO WEEKS BEFORE THE FIRST CLASS
. Confirm that texts have been received by the bookstore and that reserve readings will be
available. Check for yourself.
. Review all class materials and be sure that they are in fact duplicated, satisfactory, and located
where they can be found when needed.
. If any uncertainty remains about audiovisual materials or items needed for demonstrations,
send out final orders and adapt your plans accordingly.
. Finalize the syllabus and have it duplicated on three-hole paper in a quantity about 25 percent
larger than your anticipated need (students often take more than one). Also, distribute copies to
your colleagues. They need to know what you are doing in the basic course if it is a prerequisite
for their courses, and they may well have comments and suggestions you will find valuable.
THE FIRST CLASS
DON’T TALK ABOUT PSYCHOLOGY: SHOW ME
Introductory psychology differs from other classes because the students will be able to relate to much of the
mater
