1.Psy 5960: Philosophical Problems - PSY Elective
Each semester the Department of Psychology offers Special Topic Seminars listed under Psy 3960, Psy 4960 and Psy 5960. Always be sure to check these courses out as they are interesting topics that frequently change. This semester, one of the topics offered is Psy 5960: Philosophical Problems. Is philosophy of science to describe how scientists do work, or how they should work? How can we account for the rapid advancement of scientific knowledge? How does empirical evidence lend support to (or refute) a theory? How are less correct theories eventually rejected or replaced by more correct ones? What is the logical status of theoretical terms? How are key aspects of theories brought into contact with empirical observations? How can we have confidence that our theories are the best ones to account for the evidence? Can we quantify the verisimilitude ("truthlikeness") of theories, and if so, how? What do different "schools" of statistical thought have to say about proper scientific inference based on probability principles? Can psychoanalytic theories be put to empirical test, and if so, how? The course is predicated on the beliefs that a working knowledge of philosophical issues in psychology is stimulating, and covers material quite unlike that dealt with in any other Psychology Department course. For more information about the course, contact the instructor. Special Topic Seminar Courses count towards the Psychology Electives portion of the Psychology BA and BS Major.
*****
2.Psy 5960: Detection Theory in Psychology - PSY Elective
Each semester the Department of Psychology offers Special Topic Seminars listed under Psy 3960, Psy 4960 and Psy 5960. Always be sure to check these courses out as they are interesting topics that frequently change. This semester, one of the topics offered is Psy 5960: Detection Theory in Psychology. Signal Detection Theory (SDT) is a broad set of concepts and tools that have found wide application in areas of psychology, neuroscience, medicine, and in many other fields. In psychology its contributions are both methodological and theoretical. Its methodological contributions are a set of procedures that enable distinction between "sensitivity" and "bias" and, more generally, techniques for analyzing behavioral data in both laboratory and practical settings. The theoretical contributions are that SDT provides a sophisticated framework for thinking about and describing behavior, especially perceptual behavior. This lecture course is an introduction to SDT. Although the emphasis is on applications in psychology, the basic concepts and tools readily generalize to many other areas. The course involves mathematics, especially elementary probability theory. The necessary mathematical skills will be reviewed during the first 2 weeks. The text is Wickens, T.D., Elementary Signal Detection Theory, Oxford Univ. Press, 2002. There will be additional readings, problem sets, and a final paper. Questions? Contact the instructor at nfv@umn.edu. Special Topic Seminar Courses count towards the Psychology Electives portion of the Psychology BA and BS Major.
*****
3.Psy 4960: Creativity Sciences: Minds, Brains, and Innovation - Area A Course
Each semester the Department of Psychology offers Special Topic Seminars listed under Psy 3960, Psy 4960 and Psy 5960. Always be sure to check these courses out as they are interesting topics that frequently change. This semester, one of the topics offered is Psy 4960: Creativity Sciences: Minds, Brains, and Innovation. Creativity and innovation play a pivotal role in our individual and collective lives. How do our minds, brains, and environments together enable the generation of useful novel ideas? This course investigates this question, using empirical findings and methods from the cognitive and brain sciences and other disciplines. Both close readings of original empirical research articles and active hands-on/minds-on within-class experiments and collaborative activities are core parts of the course. Two integrative themes throughout the course are the need for dynamically adaptive (contextually sensitive) variation in both levels of cognitive control and goal guidance (deliberate to spontaneous to automatic) and our level of representational specificity (concrete and specific to mid-level to abstract). Special Topic Seminar Courses count towards the Psychology Electives portion of the Psychology BA and BS Major. This particular seminar will count as an upper-level Area A Distribution Area Course towards the Psychology BA and BS major. Email Psychology Advising if you have any questions about how this course would count towards your Psychology Major.

12.ENT 1480: Insects: the Good, the Bad and the Bugly
The course, Ent 1480 ('Insects: the good, the bad, and the bugly'), is targeted for a broad audience of students from a variety of years and educational backgrounds. The course is about insects and their influence on our society and covers the topic from cultural, historical, anthropological, and scientific points of view. Insects make up more than half of the living organisms on this planet. Throughout time they have had a profound impact on world history, society, and culture--an impact reflected in literature, film, music, and art. Even so, they are swatted, stomped, squished, and otherwise misunderstood. In this course we will develop an appreciation of insects through examining their complex behaviors and incredible physical abilities as well as their benefits to our culture, history, and society. See the course website and facebook for more information.

17.Program Counselor Position
ACR Healthcare is currently in need of additional staffing for a direct care position titled "Program Counselor," which involves working with individuals that have physical/developmental disabilities. Some roles of a Program Counselor include escorting residents to appointments, which could be for an annual check-up, physical therapy, occupational therapy, art therapy, and others. Other general roles of a PC include administering medications, providing care for daily activities, preparing meals, and also taking residents on community outings such as movies, concerts, parks, and anything else that interests them. Since there are over 50 houses within ACR, there are some homes that have more medical-based residential care, and others that are more behavioral. The position does require training before being permitted to work at any home, which covers first-aid, CPR, medication administration, how to handle behaviors, and other classes depending on the assigned home. Training can take up to two weeks, but the good news is that all training is paid! ACR Healthcare does require a minimum of 12 hours a week (around two shifts), and we prefer staff to commit for at least 6 months. ACR Healthcare was voted #1 workplace in Minnesota for 2014, and it is a great company to be involved with. We also have an internship program for any employee planning to pursue nursing, pharmacy, psychology, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and other health-based careers. Interested students can contact Caitlin Fortin, the UMN on campus recruiter, via email (fort0191@umn.edu) or phone ((952) 261-7038).

2.Psy 4960: Creativity Sciences: Minds, Brains, and Innovation - Area A Course
Each semester the Department of Psychology offers Special Topic Seminars listed under Psy 3960, Psy 4960 and Psy 5960. Always be sure to check these courses out as they are interesting topics that frequently change. This semester, one of the topics offered is Psy 4960: Creativity Sciences: Minds, Brains, and Innovation. Creativity and innovation play a pivotal role in our individual and collective lives. How do our minds, brains, and environments together enable the generation of useful novel ideas? This course investigates this question, using empirical findings and methods from the cognitive and brain sciences and other disciplines. Both close readings of original empirical research articles and active hands-on/minds-on within-class experiments and collaborative activities are core parts of the course. Two integrative themes throughout the course are the need for dynamically adaptive (contextually sensitive) variation in both levels of cognitive control and goal guidance (deliberate to spontaneous to automatic) and our level of representational specificity (concrete and specific to mid-level to abstract). Special Topic Seminar Courses count towards the Psychology Electives portion of the Psychology BA and BS Major. This particular seminar will count as an upper-level Area A Distribution Area Course towards the Psychology BA and BS major. Email Psychology Advising if you have any questions about how this course would count towards your Psychology Major.

4.Research Opportunity In Carlson - Work and Organization
Professor John Kammeyer-Mueller and Yeonka Kim (Ph.D. Candidate) at Department of Work and Organization of Carlson School of Management are looking for one or two volunteers for our research. The topic of the study is about working professionals' emotional experiences and their emotional management in the workplace. If you are interested in having research experiences in management and emotion research as well as qualitative research for your future academic work or career, this is a great opportunity. Volunteers will be asked to code the descriptions of work events and emotional regulation strategies of working professionals into categories. We will provide coding schemes in the 1st or 2nd week of December so that you can code the data based on them. You may start working on coding the data in your convenient time after you receive the coding schemes and complete it by the end of winter break (e.g., 12/18). But, it would be great if you can complete it earlier. Since we will share data with you electronically, you can work on it anywhere and anytime. If you intensively work on it, I think you can complete it within a few days. If you are interested in this volunteer opportunity or have any questions, please contact Yeonka Kim (kimx2621@umn.edu) for further discussion. Thank you!
