Spring 2013

Professor: Dr. Brian Hoffman, 331 Psychology Building Phone: 583-8092, e-mail: hoffmanb@uga.edu

Office Hours: Tuesday 11-12 or by appointment

Meeting Time & Place: Tuesday & Thursday, 9:30-10:45; 243 Psychology Bldg Text: The text is completely optional. It would be helpful to have it for the statistical sections, but it is your choice. The 5th, 6th, or 7th edition is fine.

Cohen, J.R. & Swerdlik, M.E. (2009). Psychological testing and assessment: An introduction to tests and measurement (7th edition).

Course Objective: This course is designed to introduce you to psychological testing and assessment. After completing this course you will be familiar with the test development process, methods for evaluating the quality of tests, testing techniques, and different types of tests. Further, you will learn about the use of tests in organizational, educational, and clinical/counseling settings.

Prerequisites for this class are PSY 1101, PSY 3980, & PSY 3990 (co-requisite). In accordance with Psychology Department policy, if you have not successfully completed all of the prerequisites you will be required to withdraw from this course. If you do not withdraw, credit earned from this course will not count toward the requirements for the psychology major.

Course Requirements: There will be three exams throughout the semester. Each exam is worth 25% of your final grade. Thus, the three exams together make up 75% of your total grade. The format of each exam will consist of multiple choice, matching, and (possibly) short answer/essay questions. Content for each exam will include material presented in lecture, information from the textbook, assigned readings, and information presented by guest speakers. The exams are not cumulative; however an overall understanding of the concepts and information from previous exams will be necessary for some questions.

    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.…
