  6. Second hand books/book selling This year we have launched the student book selling site as a result of student feedback. http://psy.hull.ac.uk/Students/Booksell/ You will be able to use this to sell books you no longer need or buy books for upcoming modules.

  7. Professional PrinciplesWhat we expect from students in the Department of Psychology

  8. Professional Principles • Employers want to employ graduates who are professional in their approach to work • Students in the Department want a professional learning environment • Staff in the Department want to support students in their learning.

  9. Professional Principles As a result of student feedback, the Faculty has produced the following professional principles: As a student in the Faculty of Science you are expected to: 1) ATTEND all classes and meetings as required by the department 2) Be ON TIME for classes and meetings

  10. Professional Principles 3) Be PREPARED for classes by reading set material, working through examples sheets and reading through notes from previous classes 4) TAKE RESPONSIBILITY for your assessed work ensuring it is submitted in a timely fashion and free of plagiarism and unfair means 5) RESPECT other students and teaching staff. Ensure you don’t disrupt the learning of others – arrive at classes on time, switch off your mobile phone and remain quiet whilst the lecturer is talking

  11. Professional Principles 6) REFRAIN from eating and drinking in lecture theatres and laboratories. If there is a good reason why you are unable to engage with your studies, please contact your personal supervisor as soon as possible.

  12. To ensure that there is a constructive learning environment for ALL students, lecturers and tutors may: • Exclude late arrivals • Exclude students who are not prepared for their classes • Warn disruptive students that they will be asked to leave if the disruption continues. Students who are asked to leave a class as a result of being disruptive will be required to attend a follow-up meeting to discuss their unacceptable behaviour. Persistent offenders will be dealt with under the existing student disciplinary procedures.

  13. Deadlines for assessment • Work handed in 1 working day late: 10% of possible marks are automatically deducted. • Work handed in 2 and 10 working days late: mark will be capped at 40%. Can still be lower. • Mark of zero if assignment is more than 10 working days after deadline • Need to apply for authorised extension in mitigating circumstances. See main office

  14. Plagiarism Turnitin is a new plagiarism software which has been introduced recently. It checks your submitted work against published work (i.e., books, journal articles), internet sources and other students work. You will have the opportunity to check your work on Turnitin before submitting it. You will be shown how to use Turnitin prior to handing in your first assessment.

  15. Clinical Psychology The University of Hull is unique in having the only integrated clinical psychology training programme in the UK. Clinical Psychologists work with children and adults with a wide range of psychological difficulties. Clinical Psychology meeting: Thursday 5th November (week 6). You will receive a reminder about this nearer the time.

  16. Free Elective Only applies to those students taking a Psychology only degree You should have either chosen the Psychology module “Pioneers in Modern Psychology” or a “Free Elective” offered by a different department.
