STUDENT AFFAIRS

PRELIMINARY COURSE PROCEDURES

The following tasks must be completed upon acceptance of your teaching assignment:

Arrange the days and times of course meetings as well as course size with Hermila Torres, Student Affairs Advisor. She will contact you, via email, when scheduling is due.

If your course has never been taught in Psychology at UCSD, please furnish Erica Negretti, Student Affairs Manager, with a detailed course description (40 words maximum). This must be submitted as soon as possible as it needs approval from the Committee on Educational Policy.

Furnish Brandi Ellis, Student Affairs Advisor, with detailed information on the books to be ordered for your course and whether or not you would like desk copies. She will contact you in due course.

During quarters you teach, you must hold office hours (2 hours per week). The Student Affairs Office staff will contact you for times and location. They will then prepare a door card.

Prepare a detailed syllabus including your office hours, phone number, room number, and e-mail address. Allow your TAs ample time to duplicate your syllabus before your class begins. We encourage you to put this and other course information on your web page, and submit a copy of your syllabus to the Student Services office.

For lower-division courses, a three-hour commitment from each student is required for Psychology's human subject pool. For detailed information, see Human Subjects section under Resources and see Brandi Ellis for the pertinent information to distribute to students.

Should you wish to make use of our human subject pool for your research, please ask Brandi Ellis for information and rules governing participation. At the beginning of each quarter, you must request access to the departments subject pool, called Experimetrix.

If you are interested in recruiting undergraduate research assistants (Psychology 99s & 199s), the department will enroll each 99 & 199 student 4 units of credit for at least 12 hours of time per week (2 units for at least 6 hrs per week). Furnish the Student Services office with a brief research goal in the form of a flyer for posting. Examples are posted in the hallway of the first floor of Mandler Hall.

For information on confidentiality, grading of course work, incomplete work, cheating, your mandatory attendance at final examinations, etc., see Grading Policy section below or visit the website: http://www-senate.ucsd.edu/manual/regulations/regcode.htm.

Should you wish to hold review sessions for your students before examinations, provide the Student Services office with the dates and times at least one week in advance. They will then obtain a lecture hall for you.
