IntroPsych has 3120 students!
Welcome aboard! If you're completely new to Introductory Psychology at McMaster---and most of you are---we need to explain something about the schedule that you've got from SOLAR. By now, you've probably noticed that most of your classes show about three hours of lectures each week, but PSYCH 1X03 only shows one. Think you get off that easy?
Well, yes and no. The 'no' is that IntroPsych is much more than that one hour you see. In that hour, you meet with 25 other students and your personal Teaching Assistant.
The 'yes' part is that instead of having two other hours scheduled in a lecture theatre, you choose a time and a place convenient for you to view the online web modules via Avenue, McMaster's online learning management system.

The IntroPsych Program in the Department of Psychology, Neuroscience & Behaviour follows in the tradition of our long-standing reputation as Canada’s “most innovative” university. Our courses use a unique blended learning environment combining learning technology with traditional face-to-face instruction.
Web modules can be viewed anywhere you have an internet connection.
Web Modules. One unique aspect of this course is that the primary course materials are presented in online web modules. Interact with a dynamic interface which can be accessed anytime in the comfort of your room, library, or anywhere you have internet access. Play videos, pause, jump, explore the searchable content, chat with fellow students viewing the web module, ask questions to the online TAs, test yourself with checkpoints, take a poll, and post a link or leave a comment on the shout wall. You can view a sample (minus the interactive components) by clicking on IntroPsych Sample Lecture in the banner.
