Course Information
Description	A study of the research and theory in the psychology of learning, cognition, and motivation, factors that impact learning, and application of learning strategies. Theoretical models of strategic learning, cognition, and motivation serve as the conceptual basis for the introduction of college level student academic strategies. Students use assessment instruments to help them identify their strengths and weaknesses as strategic learners. Students are ultimately expected to integrate and apply the learning skills discussed across their own academic programs and become effective and efficient learners. Students developing these skills should be able to continually draw from the theoretical models they have learned. (Cross-listed as PSYC 1100)

Learning Outcomes	A study of the research and theory in the psychology of learning, cognition, and motivation; factors that impact learning, and application of learning strategies. Theoretical models of strategic learning, cognition, and motivation serve as the conceptual basis for the introduction of college-level student academic strategies. Students use assessment instruments (e.g., learning inventories) to help them identify their own strengths and weaknesses as strategic learners. Students are ultimately expected to integrate and apply the learning skills discussed across their own academic programs and become effective and efficient learners. Students developing these skills should be able to continually draw from the theoretical models they have learned. (Cross-listed as PSYC 1300).

Course Policies
Instructor Policies	Use your LSCPA email to communicate with me by email or call me at my office number 409-984-6381. Assignments will be given each week. The assignments will be due by 11 a.m. the following class day. This is subject to change. LATE WORK is accepted at instructor discretion. Due dates are given and enough time is given to complete all work. Students are responsible for completing all assigned homework, including reading assignments, by the required due dates and for being prepared for each class meeting. If you miss an exam, your lowest exam grade will count twice. If you miss more than one exam, those exams will be given a grade of zero. There will be a final exam. All students must take the exam on the scheduled date and time, and failure to do so will result in a 0 on the final exam. Every student MUST have a copy of the required textbook by the end of the second week of class. The student will still be responsible for any assignments given. No emailed work is accepted; unless requested by instructor. Students are responsible for completing all assigned reading and video viewings. Failure to follow oral and/or written instructions will result in a 5-point deduction penalty. Academic dishonesty will result in a zero on any assignment (first offense); a second incidence of academic dishonesty will result in failure of the class. Software Requirements: If you are in a course that is using a specific software, you MUST have the software available to you either on your home computer or you must use the open lab provided in the Gates Library. Reliable Internet access is required for all online courses and many traditional courses. Computer failure and lack of internet access are not acceptable excuses for missed assignments, projects, quizzes, or exams. DO NOT wait until the last minute to complete class work or exams. E-Mail/Voice Mail Etiquette: Students must use appropriate e-mail etiquette when corresponding with instructor; for example, complete sentences and a full subject line with your name/course name. Voice mail messages should be clearly spoken identifying students name, course, and any return phone number.
Attendance Policy	Poor attendance is a leading reason for termination from a job in all areas of employment. With this factor in mind, the instructor monitors student attendance. In addition, attendance on a regular basis is necessary for proper skill development. Roll is taken at the beginning of each class--I do not do tardies.  When roll is called, you are either present or absent. Three absences result in a one-letter grade reduction; 5 absences result in a two-letter grade reduction; and, 7 absences result in automatic failure of the course.
