1. 120 to 150 majors
2. Faculty:
1 = developmental (me)
2 = learning theorists/animal models primarily
1 = social
1 = cognitive/human factors
3 = industrial/organiz -- these are 2/7 in our undergrad day school and
5/7 in our evening college; one is primarily a personality theorist and
teaches that course,, while one is a methodologist who is full time at a
satellite campus and seldom teaches here
1 = Clinical
1 = Physiological/neuropsych
Also one full time lab assistant who supports the animal and surgery labs
and grades methodological papers and teaches APA formatting
Also a laboratory preschool with a 32 hour per week assistant/teacher
Also a full time mimimum wage "animal caretaker"
Total = 7 full time, 2 @ 2/7, 1 at a satellite campus
2. University-wide ratio is 11:1
3. We cap research methods at 24, with a 3 hour class, a 3 hour lab, and
about 1/3 of a research assistant. However we team teach the course with
2 profs each term, and it's a 2 semester sequence; descriptive stats and
methods in the fall, inferential stats and methods in the spring.
