Staying in the Course and Adding the Course
You must initially attend the section to which you are assigned by CalCentral as of August 22.  If you do not attend your
assigned discussion sections by Tuesday, August 28 and do not contact your GSI or Head GSI Vaishnavi Surendra to explain
your absence, you will be removed from the class. The department relies completely on CalCentral for enrollment purposes.
See Econ 1 Head GSI Vaishnavi Surendra (548 Evans, econ1.headgsi@berkeley.edu), GSI Coordinator Katarina Jensen (548
Evans, HeadGSI@econ.berkeley.edu), or an Econ Undergrad Advisor (539 Evans, ugrad@econ.berkeley.edu) for help.
Letter of Introduction
For your second section meeting, please write a 1-page letter of introduction of yourself to your GSI.  Submit a hard copy at
section. Include your name*, its pronunciation, your pronouns, and anything about yourself that you would like to share.
Please embed a photo of yourself; doing so will help your GSI learn your name.  The paper will not be graded nor returned.
(*Include the name we will see on the roster and, if different, your preferred name. Remember you can set your preferred
name in CalCentral too: http://registrar.berkeley.edu/academic-records/your-name-records-rosters)

Honor Code
We at UC Berkeley have adopted this Honor Code: “As a member of the UC Berkeley community, I act with honesty,
integrity, and respect for others.”  Your Econ 1 instructors join you in pledging to adhere to this code.
Tutoring
Economics Department grad students offer free tutoring. https://www.econ.berkeley.edu/undergrad/home/tutoring.
Twitter @CalEconTutoring.  A list of tutors-for-hire (about $50/hour) is also available at the Econ Dept Tutoring Center
website. Also the Student Learning Center (SLC) offers Study Group and Drop-in Tutoring for Economics 1. These services
are free for registered Cal students. Additional information is available at http://slc.berkeley.edu/econ.

Contacting You and Us
Prof. Olney and the GSIs use email to contact you.  Be sure your email address registered with the University’s CalNet
directory is correct, your spam filters are not set too tight, and that your inbox is not full.  Emails sent to the entire class by
Prof. Olney and Head GSI Vaishnavi Surendra are archived at the bCourses “pages” tab:  http://bcourses.berkeley.edu.
Email sent to Prof. Olney or Head GSI Vaishnavi Surendra must have “Econ 1” plus a descriptor as the subject. For instance:
“[Econ 1] announcement for digest” or “[econ 1] enrollment question.” Emails must use appropriate grammar and spelling
(no txtng) and must be signed with both first & last names.  Emails not meeting these minimums are immediately deleted.
Limits to Confidentiality
As UC employees, all course instructors and tutors are “Responsible Employees” and are required to report incidents of
sexual violence, sexual harassment, or other conduct prohibited by university policy to the Title IX officer. We cannot keep
reports of sexual harassment or sexual violence confidential, but the Title IX officer will consider requests for confidentiality.
There are confidential resources available to you, including the CARE Advocate Office
(http://sa.berkeley.edu/dean/confidential-care-advocate), which serves survivors of sexual violence and sexual harassment.
Piazza
We use Piazza in lieu of emails for Q&A.  Rather than emailing questions to Prof. Olney, the Head GSI, or your own GSI, post
your questions on Piazza.  Everyone – the instructors and students – then has the opportunity to answer your question.
Answers can be edited, wiki fashion. The instructors can give a ‘thumbs up’ to good student answers.  Others with the same
question can see the conversation and chime in.  At the end of the term, students whose questions or answers received the
largest number of “good” votes from classmates and instructors will receive a few extra credit points.  If you didn’t receive a
Piazza welcome email, sign up at http://piazza.com/berkeley/fall2018/econ1.  If you are asked for a code in order to enable
sign up, request the code from the Head GSI Vaishnavi Surendra at econ1.headgsi@berkeley.edu.
Announcements Policy
No announcements are made in lecture.  All announcements are sent by Prof. Olney or the Head GSI via email and then
posted on bCourses “pages” tab.  Some announcements may contain links to additional readings from current news
sources. These readings are to be considered required assigned readings for the course; links will be added to the “files” tab
of our bCourses page.  If you would like to make a written announcement to all Econ 1 students, send it to Prof. Olney for
inclusion in her weekly email.  Be sure you include a student name and contact info in the announcement.  Prof. Olney
reserves the right to delete announcements that are not relevant to Econ 1.
Laptop and Cell Phone Policies
No laptops are allowed in lecture unless pre-approved by the Head GSI or the Professor. DSP note-takers should contact the
Head GSI before the first day of class.  iPads and other tablets (laid flat and being used for note-taking) are ok but not
encouraged.  Cell phones should be turned off and put away in your backpack or bag, not left out on your desk or lap.  You
may use the calculator function on your smart phone in lecture or lab section during group work.
Responsibilities — Mine and Yours — and Course Requirements
My (Prof. Olney) responsibilities are to come to class prepared, respond to and encourage questions and other participation
insofar as class size permits, oversee grading of problem sets and exams, be available during office hours and for scheduled
appointments, and stimulate an enthusiasm for economics and for learning.
Your responsibilities are to attend and participate in lecture two hours per week, bring your iClicker to lecture, attend and
participate in section two hours per week, complete the assigned readings in a timely manner (allowing time to re-read
difficult chapters), complete all assignments on time, and take all exams.
Your course grade will be based on your performance on a comprehensive essay & final, two midterm exams, completion of
four problem sets and two bCourses quizzes, use of iClicker, and participation in section.  You must submit the essay due
December 4 and take the final on Dec. 11 in order to pass this course.  Exams cover material from lecture, section, and the
assigned readings. The weights that will be used to compute your total point score (from which a letter grade will be
determined) and the exam dates are below.

Academic Honesty Policy
In fairness to students who put in an honest effort, cheaters will be harshly treated.  Any evidence of cheating will result in a
score of zero (0) on that assignment.  Cheating on a midterm, the comprehensive essay, or the final exam results in an “F”
for the course.  Cheating includes but is not limited to bringing unauthorized written or electronic materials into an exam,
using unauthorized written or electronic materials during an exam, copying off another person's exam or assignment,
allowing someone to copy off of your exam or assignment, having someone take an exam or assignment for you, changing

iClickers
In each lecture there will be questions to answer with your iClicker.  If you answer more than half of that day’s questions,
you earn ½ point.  It doesn’t matter whether your answer is “correct.”  iClicker points are used to make up for missed points
on problem sets.  For example, if you earn 33 points on problem sets, you can use 7 of your iClicker points to bring that up
to the maximum of 40 points.  The maximum number of points you can use from iClicker participation is 10 points.  For
more information about clickers, see the “iClicker FAQ” on the course website.

II. Course Description

This course examines the social, cultural, economic, and political development of what
became the United States from sixteenth-century European colonization through the Civil
War and Reconstruction. Viewing American history in an Atlantic context, this course
emphasizes the relationship between native peoples and European settlers, the origins,
character, and evolution of chattel slavery, and the role of religion, technology, war, and
capitalism in shaping American society. Understanding these crucial themes will reveal
how the world we live in today came to be.

The course readings can be found in the textbook Give Me Liberty! (Eric Foner), Seagull
7th edition and in an accompanying collection of primary sources in Voices of Freedom
(Eric Foner), Seagull 7th edition.

III. Learning Outcomes

By the end of the course, you will be able to:

1. Recognize and describe the key events, themes, problems, and patterns in
American history from 1492 to 1877.
2. Identify the history and the basic principles and operation of government in the
United States.
3. Analyze the many ways in which the interaction of diverse peoples from three
continents influenced the development of American culture, politics, and society.

2
4. Apply historical methodologies to analyze and contextualize historical evidence in
order to explore the complexity of human experience across space and time.
5. Understand the ways in which the early American past shapes the world we live
in today.
6. Articulate the significance of historical events, peoples, places, and processes
within their appropriate context.
7. Write clearly and persuasively.

IV. Learning Resources

Required Books

Eric Foner, Give Me Liberty!: An American History, Vol. 1: To 1877. Seagull Seventh

Edition, (New York: W.W. Norton & Co., 2023).
Eric Foner., Voices of Freedom: A Documentary History, Volume 1. Seventh Edition,

(New York: W.W. Norton & Co., 2023).

These books can either be purchased through the University Book Store or
rented/purchased online from Amazon. Be sure to get the correct edition (7th). Be aware
that the readings do not always match perfectly with the week’s lectures. Readings
complement but do not replace the lectures.

V. Course Requirements

Lectures:
On Mondays and Wednesdays, during our 50-minute class, I will deliver course content
through lecture and PowerPoint presentation. Attendance is necessary.

Discussion: “Ask the Prof.”
On Fridays we will conduct an in-person discussion section. I call our Friday class “Ask
the Prof.” What is “Ask the Prof.” you say? It is your opportunity to actively engage with
the material we are studying each week by asking me a question about that week’s
readings/content. I will do my best to answer your questions in the order I receive them.
Thus, it is you, not me, who will set the parameters of the discussion.

In order to stimulate our conversation, please complete the week’s reading assignment
before class on Friday. Then write an original question. Please write out your question
and bring it to class on Friday. I doubt I will be able to answer all your questions in 50
minutes, but if you submit an original question, you will receive credit for participation.
If you participate in 10 of the 12 “Ask the Prof.” sections, you will receive full credit.
Thereafter your participation grade will be reduced by 10% for every missed “Ask the
Prof.” session. You must be present for the entire 50 minutes to receive credit.

Major Term Assignments:

3
In addition to your participation in the “Ask the Prof.” conversations, you will also
complete weekly reading quizzes, three in-class exams, and a final exam.

READING QUIZZES: Most Sundays by 11:59PM on Brightspace.
For most weeks of class, you will complete a short quiz on Brightspace to make sure you
are doing the reading. The quiz will open on Friday at 5:30PM and close on Sunday at
11:59PM. Each quiz will consist of 10 multiple choice questions. You will have 10
minutes to complete the quiz. Brightspace will automatically drop your lowest quiz score.
These quizzes are closed notes. You may not use the internet, AI, or the textbook to
answer the questions. Lowdown Browser required.

EXAMS: Dates: September 26, October 24, November 21
We will have three in-class exams and one final exam. The in-class exams will consist of
six identifications of key terms, people, events, etc. discussed in the lectures and
readings. Please bring a blue book to the exams. I cannot provide one for you. I will
provide you with a list of possible key terms one week before each exam.

The final exam will be in-person during Exam Week.
You have two hours to complete the exam. It will consist of five identifications and one
essay question. Bring a blue book.

Missed exams can be made up only due to University-excused absences. The University
only recognizes absences related to the Grief Absence Policy, Military Absence Policy,
Jury Duty Absence Policy, Parenting Leave Policy, and the Medical Excused Absence
Policy. See the University Senate guidelines for more information.

VI. Classroom Policies

My policies are simple:

Come to class. “90% of success in life is just showing up.”
Do the reading on time.
Do the assignments on time and take exams/quizzes on time.
No Make-up exams/quizzes without prior instructor approval.
Be respectful.
Use common sense.
Do your own work. Do not share it with others.
Do not plagiarize or cheat. Do not use ChatGPT or any AI.
If you have a question, ask me in person or via Email.

If you cheat, use AI, plagiarize, or submit work you have previously submitted for credit
in another class, you will fail this course. Period.

For a more detailed explanation of the above, see the University Policies:

“Purdue prohibits ‘dishonesty in connection with any University activity. Cheating,
plagiarism, or knowingly furnishing false information to the University are examples of
dishonesty.’ [Part 5, Section III-B-2-a, Student Regulations] Furthermore, the University
Senate has stipulated that ‘the commitment of acts of cheating, lying, and deceit in any of
their diverse forms (such as the use of substitutes for taking examinations, the use of
illegal cribs, plagiarism, and copying during examinations) is dishonest and must not be
tolerated. Moreover, knowingly to aid and abet, directly or indirectly, other parties in
committing dishonest acts is in itself dishonest.’ [University Senate Document 72-18,
December 15, 1972]” https://www.purdue.edu/odos/academic-integrity/

Freedom of Expression

In this class, students are encouraged to exercise their right to free inquiry and
expression.  You are welcome to express any view on the subject matter introduced by
the instructor or other class members within the structure of the course. While you are
responsible for learning the content of this course, you remain free to take a reasoned
exception to the views presented and to reserve judgment about matters of conscience,
controversy, or opinion. When you encounter ideas that you find offensive, unwise,
immoral, or wrong-headed, you are encouraged to engage them with reasons, evidence,
and arguments.  Your course grade will be based on your academic performance, not on
the opinions you express.  Our commitment to freedom of expression means that no
relevant ideas or positions are out of bounds, but disruptive or disorderly behavior,

5
threats, or harassment are strictly prohibited and will be reported to the Office of the
Dean of Students.

See the University's “Commitment to Freedom of Expression” and “Bill of Student
Rights” in the University Policies and Statements module on Brightspace.

Department of Psychology
Psychology W1, 2018*
General Psychology Online
Summer Session, 2018
Course Description
This course will survey the scientific study of mental life and the
mental functions that underlie human experience, thought, and action.
The emphasis is on cognitive processes and social interactions
characteristic of adults.  However, research on nonhuman animals, as
well as biological, developmental, and pathological processes, will be
introduced as relevant.  This course, or its equivalent, is a prerequisite
for admission to most upper-division courses in the Department of
Psychology.  Psychology 1 (or its online equivalent, Psychology W1) is
required for prospective majors in Psychology, and is intended for
lower-division students (freshmen and sophomores).
Course Credits
Three (3) semester hours (approximately 45 hours of class time)
Prerequisites & Workload
There are no prerequisites for this course.  Anyone with a college-
preparatory high-school diploma should be able to understand the
material.
In order to do well in the course, however, students should be
prepared to put in some time.  Traditionally, college courses assume
that students devote two to three hours of study outside class for
every one hour in class.  In the summer session, there are six (6) 1-
hour lectures per week.  Following the "industry standard", then,
students should be prepared to put in at least 12 hours per week
outside of class.

Contact your Instructor and GSIs through Canvas.
Online Office Hours
Because of the online format of this course, there are no discussion
sections as such, and no opportunity to interrupt the lecture for
questions. However, the instructor and GSIs will be available in weekly
chatrooms for office hours to respond to student comments and
queries. Online office hours will be announced in advance. Feel free
to make use of these resources: that is what we are here for.
Queries and Comments During the Course
This course offers a “Queries and Comments” discussion board, which
will be used for a wide variety of communications among students,
GSIs, and the instructor.  These messages will be distributed to the
entire class, so don’t post anything of a personal or confidential
nature!  Responses from the instructor or the GSIs also will be posted
to the entire discussion board.  Do not send questions on course
content to the instructor’s private Email address; post them to the
course website instead – so that everyone can benefit from the
exchange.

From time to time I will post announcements (e.g., about exams)
concerning the course; I may also post corrections to the lectures.
Students may also post comments and questions concerning the
readings, lectures, and other items relevant to psychology.
If you have a communication of a personal nature, such as a family
emergency, you should send private Email to the instructor and your
GSI.
Required and Recommended Readings
Students should purchase two items for the course.
1. The textbook, Introduction to Psychology (Cengage, 11th ed.,
2016), by James W. Kalat, is required. There are several ways to
access this book:
• Option 1: The bookstore is selling a loose-leaf/online bundle.  The
bundle includes a Loose-leaf Version of the 11th edition, plus online
access for the book and MindTap® Psychology for 1 term (6
months).  The ISBN is: 9781337127448.

• Option 2: Printed versions of the 11th and 10th editions of this
book are also acceptable.  Avoid purchasing any editions of the
book that are older than the 10th edition.
2. ZAPS 2.0: The Norton Psychology Labs, an online digital resource
by Ton De Jong and colleagues, allows you to experience various
psychological phenomena firsthand, via demonstrations
programmed by a team of Dutch psychologists (hence the
sometimes awkward English) and presented over the Internet (see
below for details).  You will be required to complete a selection of
these exercises during this course.  ZAPS 2.0 is an online
resource.  The registration code for this website must be purchased
separately through the publisher’s website:
https://digital.wwnorton.com/zaps2.  Approximate retail price:
$35.00.
• Point your browser to the ZAPS 2.0 “landing page”:
https://digital.wwnorton.com/zaps2.
o Click on the big “Z” button on the lower left corner of this page.

• Click on the green box that says “Register, Purchase, or Sign Up for
Trial Access.
• Enter your name, school email (e.g., JohnSmith@berkeley.edu),
and create a password.

• Select “I want to purchase access”.
o Do Not sign up for “21 days of free trial access”.
• Click on the green box that says “Show Purchasing Options”.
• When prompted for a “Student Set ID”, enter 55670.
o This is important.  Without the proper Student Set ID, you will
not receive appropriate credit for completing the ZAPS exercises.
o If you cut and paste the Student Set ID into a webpage, be sure
not to enter the leading space ( ) or the following period (.).
Otherwise, your Student Set ID will be incorrect, and you will not
receive appropriate credit.
Schedule for Summer 2018
The schedule shown on the following pages is based on an hour’s
lecture or quiz on 6 out of the 7 days of the summer class’s week.  For
convenience, the schedule conforms to a Monday through Saturday
schedule.  Note, however, that all lectures are available all of the time,
from the very beginning of the semester, so that students can
complete lectures at their own pace.  Assignments are due, and exams
will be administered, on the dates indicated.
The entire course is delivered online, employing the Canvas learning
management system.  You will need to authenticate with a CalNet ID.

Page 5

Your access to Canvas will terminate on the last day of the semester,
after the final exam has been administered.
You must log in to Canvas either the Monday or Tuesday of the first
week of the Summer Session.  For details, see the Orientation
materials distributed to all registered students by Berkeley Summer
Sessions.
The course is divided into 12 topical modules, each covering a large
segment of psychology.  A typical module consists of about 4 lectures
(some more, some less).  You access these modules by clicking on the
“Module” link in the Canvas navigation bar.  Each module begins with a
video overview, followed by one or more lectures.
Here is the schedule of events for Summer 2018:
