I have been asked to post this for Dr. Thomas Bailey - please respond to
him if interested.
Diane
would like to form a panel for the March 2009 EPA Annual Conference to
discuss the role of the Introductory Psychology course. I have heard
from colleagues from other institutions who believe it should be a
"gateway" for those who major in psychology. Others believe that it
should be a general "survey" course designed to provide anyone the
opportunity to better appreciate the science of psychology.
- which should it be?
- can it be both?
- what is the value of one approach over the other?
- how would the approach change what is covered in the course?
I am looking for 2-4 colleagues from other institutions who would like
to sit on the panel - preferably with a preference/belief in one of the
three (or another) approach. If you are interested and can attend the
conference please contact me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] to discuss, the
deadline to submit is November 15th.
Thank you,
Thomas
