    COURSE DESCRIPTION & GOALS
    This course surveys the major topics and issues in memory and memory research. We
    will discuss both historical and recent empirical studies with reference to everyday issues.
    At the end of the course, you will hopefully have a more precise understanding of human
    memory and memory research. Attached you will see a course schedule - this is a
    tentative schedule, changes are going to be announced during lecture.

    Evaluation Policy: Evaluation will be based on a midterm exam (40%) and a final exam
    (60%).
    The Conten of Exams: The exams will consist of short-essay questions. You may be
    required to compare and contrast different theoretical perspectives or discuss some
    theoretical and methodological issues (providing empirical evidence from our readings).

    Grading Policy: You will be graded based on your comprehension of the content and
    your ability to formulate analytical arguments based on that content from the readings,
    lectures and discussion sections. Integrating readings into your answers will be
    important! I spend significant time and effort making sure that the grades I assign are fair
    and appropriate. I will not change a grade after it has been given, except in the case of
    mathematical error.

    recommended to attend the classes. You are responsible for material covered if you are

    Academic Honesty: I will show zero tolerance for cheating and plagiarism. Any form of
    cheating and/or plagiarism will immediately earn you a failing grade for the entire
    course. By remaining enrolled, you consent to this policy.

    Plagiarism (from APA manual, 5th Edition)- directly quoted:


    Psychologists do not claim the words and ideas of another as their own; they give
    credit where credit is due. Quotation marks should be used to indicate the exact
    words of another. Each time you paraphrase another author (i.e. summarize a
    passage or rearrange the order of a sentence and change some of the words),
    you will need to credit the source in the text.
    The key element of this principle is that the author does not present the work of
    another as if it were his or her own work. This can extend to ideas as well as
    written words. If an author models a study after one done by someone else, the
    originating author should be given credit. If the rationale for a study was
    suggested in the Discussion section of someone else’s article, that person should
    be given credit. Given the free exchange of ideas, which is very important to the
    health of psychology, an author may not know where an idea for a study
    originated. If the author does know, however, the author should acknowledge the
    source; this includes personal communications. (pp. 349-350)
