Breyer State University
Instructor: Kenneth "Micheal" Townsend, Ph.D.

SYLLABUS

COURSE OVERVIEW: This course is a symposium course offered as part of the PhD program in organizational psychology. This course serves two main purposes. The first is that the course serves to further your knowledge of a very important segment of social psychology, and its studies and secondly, it further gives you the chance to enhance your learning in the program. The class itself will consist of a very specific guided project with me monitoring the entire process. The actual project is decided with you, but I must approve all steps and the paper must follow very specific guidelines that will be noted below. This project can take on several different shapes depending on your plan for the future. This project can also serve as a introduction to your ultimate project of a dissertation. You can use this project and course as a stepping stone toward that one. This course is set to run for 10 weeks. Each week begins on Sunday and ends on Saturday. There will be no deviation from this unless specified by me ahead of time. Any deviation must be approved before hand and the only excuses are death or serious illness.

TIME FRAME: This is a ten-semester hour course. This course is allotted 10 weeks of time. You must complete all of the requirements for the course successfully by the end of the 10-week period. The first day of week one will begin the day that you register for the course, or the day which you notify me that your textbook has arrived and you are ready to begin your studies. Please be cognizant of the time frame. It is rare that extensions of time are permitted, unless you have good justification. Upon successful completion of this course, you will be awarded ten semester hours of credit.

TEXTBOOKS: You are not required to purchase any textbook per se for this course, but it is required that you use some sort of specific format for the course. The accepted format for this type of writing is APA. The newest APA guide is 5th edition and is available at any college or online bookstore. Though not required for this course, the student should use a format they are comfortable with. If not comfortable with a specific format, the instructor would recommend APA.
