Websites
http://courses.bfwpub.com/exploring8einmodules.php
This web address takes you to what is called Psych Portal and it contains a rich set of supplementary materials for the text book including quizzes, animated simulations, and videos. An access code for Psych Portal comes with the purchase of a new textbook.

https://shoreline.blackboard.com/webapps/login/
Required PsychSim quizzes and the optional module quizzes will be taken in our Blackboard classroom, which can be found by logging into Blackboard and then selecting our class.

This is a simple web site that I created for the course. It contains a link to the on-line student learning center as well as other relevant course information, such as exam and homework scores and course grades.

-------------------------------------------------
Course Description
From the course catalog: Introduction to the scientific study and understanding human behavior in a variety of settings. Physical and biological, as well as social perspectives will be presented.

From me: This course is designed to provide an overview of the major theories, research strategies, and applications within the field of psychology. The lectures will largely correspond to the readings in the textbook, but I shall try to present additional material designed to deepen your understanding and appreciation of the psychological perspectives covered in the book.

    Erikson’s theory of psychosocial development is composed of stages (building blocks) for the development of a mature personality and a comfortable identity. Each stage has an element of social experiences, which impacts a person’s development, competence and confidence. The timeline consists of stages spread across a person’s whole lifespan. The stage of Erikson’s theory that I chose to examine was Stage 6: Intimacy vs. Isolation. This stage involves early adulthood when people are exploring personal relationships (between the ages of 19-40 years old). Since I am 21 years old and currently personally involved with this stage of psychosocial development, I had a strong interest in exploring this area further. I felt that I could relate closer to the feelings explored in this stage, as they would involve social experiences I am involved in now every day.…

    I was born in the late 60’s to the parents of first generation Americans. My grandparents migrated to America through Canada from Scotland in the early 1930’s. Eventually, both sides of the family landed in the Black Hills of South Dakota. My father’s side of the family worked at Homestake Gold Mine in Lead, South Dakota and my mother’s side of the family ran a trailer park in Hill City while my Grandfather worked at Mount Rushmore. After my parents married, my father followed his father by working at Homestake, while my mother was a stay at home mom. We lived on a hillside over the fairgrounds in Deadwood on Railroad Avenue. My father’s parents lived next door to us. Due to the fear of landslides, the city of Deadwood forced my grandparents and us to move off the hillside. As of 2008, the houses were still on the hillside, granted they slid downhill slightly. It is amazing how tiny the houses are, I would say no more than 400 to 500 square feet, and there were 5 of us who lived in the house. When I was about four years of age, we left the Black Hills and moved to a small mining town in Colorado called Creede. It is here I remember being left handed and having to learn to do things differently. I guess I go against the grain with handedness, according to our studies it suggests it is linked by a genetic basis. (Linke & Kersebaum, 2005) No one else in the family has been left handed, and even today I am still the only one. I still do things different from left or right handed people because I had to learn my own way. I started school while living here; we had a one room school house, and I remember we would follow the creek line down to school and back up the creek line to get home. I remember having a skunk get in the garage, our house was a bi-level with the laundry room…
