Course description
BALL STATE UNIVERSITY CATALOG DESCRIPTION: Application of psychological principles to personnel selection, training, and evaluation, worker motivation and morale, leadership and supervision, job design, and workplace health and safety. Prerequisite: PSYSC 100.

WIKIPEDIA INFO: A major component of this class will be participation in the Association for Psychological Science (APS) Wikipedia Initiative. The purpose of this initiative is to “support the Association’s mission to deploy the power of Wikipedia to represent scientific psychology as fully and as accurately as possible and thereby to promote the free teaching of psychology worldwide”. Students will work both individually and in teams to update and create Wikipedia articles concerning Industrial-Organizational Psychology topics. This work will be student-driven, but supervised by Dr. Tagler. Students will work together to critique and edit their entries, learn and follow correct Wikipedia procedures, and respond to editorial feedback from the Wikipedia community. This aspect of the course is consistent with Ball State University’s emphasis on Immersive Learning.
