We look forward to exploring issues surrounding this with you.  \nWe hope you can develop an understanding of yourself, your relationships with others and your society through the study of Psychology.  \nPlease don’t hesitate to come and see us if you have any questions or concerns.  \nBest wishes for 2022 – let’s hope it’s better than last year!  \nPOLICIES:  \nStudents are expected to check their Teams messages regularly.  \nStudents need to be aware that to obtain an S for each unit students are to:  \n• Attend a minimum of 90% of classes  \n• Complete the coursework (set classwork and homework)  \n• Obtain at least 40% on all outcomes.  \n• No phones – phone policy.  \n• Keep a Logbook – a binder book kept in the classroom  \nDevices ONLY used for textbook or research. All class notes must be handwritten.  \nMATERIALS REQUIRED  \nText book – Psychology Units 1 and 2, 7th or 8th Ed.
