Hello! This is Dr. Brouk. Welcome to
abnormal psychology! In this brief video
I will try to cover all the important
information regarding your course this
is the announcement page and the first
announcement that you have is regarding
the way that we communicate with each
other you have my phone number here an
email address and I ask you that every
time you call or send me an email please
be sure to include all of this
information if this information is
missing I might not be able to get back
to you quickly also in order for me to
communicate with you you need to use
your GTC email address this is the
syllabus it has a course description
your book information outcomes summary
career competencies and what I like to
do right now is to cover the evaluation
criteria in this course we have three
quizzes each one is worth 180 points and
three activities each activity is first
one is 160 points the second 150 and the
third one is also hundred fifty points
the quizzes as I said are worth hundred
eighty points and each of them covers
two to five chapters
or 50 true or false and multiple choice
questions 95% of these questions are
covered in study questions which I will
show you later the quizzes are all
already posted on blackboard and also
the same applies to the activities you
have three activities at the end of the
semester if your totals fall between
9:30 and a thousand-year n/a 8:30 to
9:00 29.92 be and you can see the
remainder of grading criteria I suggest
that you track your points very closely
and if you see any errors please let me
know as soon as possible
this is the calendar for your course you
need to pay very close attention to what
is dude these are the activities that
are due activity number one two and
three quiz number one two and three this
activity is due next week on Tuesday by
noon if you missed activity past noon
let's say 12:01 or 12:05 you lose 20% of
the potential points after 48 hours you
lose 50% of the potential points and the
activity or the quiz will remain on
blackboard
or one week after the deadline for
instance if the deadline is June 2nd the
activity will remain on blackboard until
Tuesday June 9th at noon and it will
disappear immediately after that and the
same thing with quizzes for instance
quiz number 1 is due on June 16th it
will disappear the following week on
Tuesday June 22nd by noon I hope this
makes sense it is really important for
all of you to complete the activities it
is particularly important to not miss
the first activity because students who
miss it will be dropped unfortunately we
have to report the census date and this
is the only way I can assess whether you
are going to continue with the class or
not and you can read the remainder of
the syllabus it's pretty easy to
understand if you have any issues please
let me know as I said the quiz questions
come 95% of the come from these study
questions and information posted here
you're supposed to read the chapter and
answer the respective questions if you
want to know whether you are on the
right track or not after you have
completed these questions
you can check my notes these are the
responses to the questions posted on
blackboard I have listed all of the
chapters and there's corresponding
questions and also have completed all of
the lecture notes or the responses to
them
you have three activities they're all
posted on blackboard the first one is
about Jack Ryan and you read this case
and after reading the case you list five
symptoms that Jack is experiencing you
make a diagnosis and then you assume
that you're a cognitive psychologist or
behavioral psychologists or a biological
psychologists and have to state what is
the cause of Jack's diagnosis this is
all based on chapter two so in order for
you to complete this you need to read
chapter two and also after you read the
symptoms go to a potential chapter that
you think the diagnosis might be
disgusting if you have any issues with
that please let me know again remember
that the activities are due on a certain
date and after the deadline they will
only remain a blackboard for a week and
then after that they will disappear
the quizzes are all on blackboard as
well the information is here you click
on the quiz and you can begin please
note that you have 75 minutes there are
50 questions you can use your nose
however you cannot be looking for every
answer you know in the book you should
have some knowledge before you start
taking the test remember that the
questions will appear randomly and you
cannot go back you have to finish the
quizzes in one setting for instance the
first question is a person's overall
mood is also known as his or her
emotional state and then you save that
and move on to the next question
so in this video we have basically
covered were the required activities for
your course the syllabus the evaluation
criteria that we will communicate with
each other and also I am going to be
available for zoo meetings on Tuesdays
from 4 to 5:30 if you would like to meet
via Xoom during that time please send me
an email otherwise I will not I might
not be available because I may be
zooming with another student so it's
really important to make sure that I am
available when you need me
so please please let me know if you
would like to be in contact and first to
talk on the phone or be a zoom or Google
hangout I hope this video has been
helpful please let me know if you have
any questions good luck and I look
forward to working with you throughout
