WELCOME
Welcome to HPS111 Psychology A: Fundamentals of Human Behaviour.
This unit aims broadly to make you think like psychologists; to reframe the way you engage with information, to encourage
critical thinking, to reject unfounded assumptions about how things work and to make you dig deeper.
In doing this, we will cover the fundamental principles of the discipline of psychology, primarily from a "bottom-up", biology-
first perspective, to provide the bedrock upon which all subsequent studies in psychology rest.
To complete a major sequence in psychology you will not only need "knowledge" but you'll need to develop "skills". In many
ways skills are the most valuable things you'll learn in your degree, as in the workforce and in life, you'll rely more on what
you can do than what you know. Life is not all pub trivia.
Knowledge
The "knowledge" content of the unit will be covered in the weekly videos, a lot of this is about remembering and
understanding content, so it helps if you can stop, rewind and replay content over and over again if you're missing it. This will
be augmented by the discussion board, where if you're still stuck you can ask a question, that explains where you're up to
and where you're coming unstuck, we'll give you that extra guidance to put you on track.
Skills
We believe that the best context for you to learn skills are in seminars, in this context we expect you'll try things out, get
them wrong, get immediate feedback, and in doing that get better. In particular, as most of you will be early in your degree
and all of you will be early in your tertiary studies in psychology, we'll be using the seminars to teach you skills in how to find
and use information according to the standards of our discipline. This means starting to learn how to recognise and read
scholarly evidence, learning how to argue from evidence, giving credit to those whose work you depend upon, and how to
write in the style of your peers.
If you have an enquiry that relates to the material of the unit, please post your questions in the CloudDeakin site for HPS111.
Personal matters can be addressed by myself or the Unit team by emailing us at the Unit email address, listed below.
This Unit Guide provides you with the key information about this Unit. For the best chance of success, you should read it
carefully and refer to it frequently throughout the trimester. Your Unit site (accessed in DeakinSync) also provides
information about your rights and responsibilities. We will assume you have read this before the Unit commences, and we
expect you to refer to it throughout the trimester.
