2、-4 virtual Campus mailbox: 19528 Course description: PSYC 3307 An exploration of psychological issues represented in film. Using an interdisciplinary approach, the medium of film will be used to discuss psychological mechanisms as well as psychotherapeutic processes. Human behaviors such as those in
3、volved in character and plot development, as well as the perspectives of filmmakers and movie-goers will be explored. Prerequisites: Six hours of behavioral science (i.e., psychology, sociology, anthropology, and others). A pre-test (without grading) will be given during the first week of class to a
4、ssess your preparation for the course. Course structure: This is a hybrid class consisting of both “click” and “brick” course delivery. This means that some classes (5 to be exact) will be taught entirely via WebCt (thats the “click part) and the remaining will be taught in the classroom (the brick
5、part). Some films and movie scenes are simply better to watch in private or in small-group settings especially when you need to review a particular scene repeatedly. Keep this in mind if you are forming study groups or cinema groups for this course. Please see the schedule below for specific dates.
6、How to prepare for this course: You should prepare for this class by reading the assigned text and journal material, reviewing the posted PowerPoint, and viewing the target films listed first near each topic. Then, choose at least one alternate film listed. You are not required to view all films lis
7、ted each week but you may wish to read a synopsis of the film and take a few notes in order to compare an alternate to the target film. Many students prefer to print off the PowerPoint (PPT) lecture (with 3 slides per page) before coming to my classes. This approach provides some note-taking space a
8、s well. Finally, when there are questions posted in a PPT lecture, please give these questions some thought before coming to class. Learning objectives: At the conclusion of this course, you will be able to: Describe the elements in character and plot developments that make for a successful (and not
9、-so- successful) film. Demonstrate knowledge of some of the classic and modern films related to psychology. Discuss the contributions of key films to understanding: mood, emotion and motivation involved in everyday life; for processes involved in personal transformation; and for the expression and e
10、laboration of psychopathology by individuals and groups.
