In this subject we will explore a number of core experimental approaches and findings in psychology which will orient the student to the science of the discipline. We will focus on how your brain works in creating your behaviour, how brain and behaviour change across the lifespan, how and why you are different from other people, how you sense the world and how you process and understand the information that arises from your senses. SUBJECT INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES (SILOS) Upon successful completion of this subject, you should be able to: 1 identify and use appropriate information sources to support a written argument. 2 use empirical evidence in teams to prepare and orally present a persuasive argument in teams on a prescribed topic in Psychology. 3 critically analyse research to define the key terms and issues to identify lines of evidence to support an argument for or against a prescribed issue in Psychology. 4 develop a logical and well supported written argument and conclusion based on empirical evidence.

The surveys are anonymous and will be distributed prior to the end of the teaching period. In the survey you are invited to tell us about your learning experiences in this subject so please take the time to tell us your views. Your views will be taken seriously and will assist us to enhance this subject for the next group of students. Your feedback will also contribute to the text for ‘Summary of Previous Student Feedback’ below Summary of SFS Feedback from Last Year The 2013 student feedback indicated that the subject performed reasonably well with consistent performance in QAU scores for most of the areas assessed with the questionnaire with those noted from 2012. According to the student response, the best thing about this subject was the appropriate organisation of the material presented in lectures, the support provided by the online learning systems associated with the unit, the weekly quizzes and the availability of staff to answer questions in person and online. According to the student response, the unit could be improved by more specifically catering the content of the tutorials to the experience of the different student cohorts enrolled in the unit as well as by improving the articulation between the tutorial material, the lecture material and the assessments. These points are well made and the unit has been revised to accommodate these worthy suggestions for the 2014 offering.
