1. About Psychology and Health

1.1 An Introduction to this Unit

This unit aims to provide an introduction to the psychology of health and behaviour as relevant to the health sciences. Half of this unit is on health psychology and its applications, and the other half is on mental illness. The first half will involve a discussion of health behaviours, teaching you behaviour change techniques and introducing you to psychological interventions as applied to illness. The second half will introduce you to different mental illnesses and outline how psychologists treat and manage these conditions.

1.2 Approach to Learning

This subject will be delivered utilising a range of teaching and learning resources. The textbook attached to this subject is not a compulsory text (you don’t need buy it!), but rather has been recommended to help you understand the lecture material. The readings for the tutorials are assessable in the final exam. Face-to-face learning activities in tutorials are intended to help you consolidate what you have learned from the lectures and provide opportunities for you to engage in deeper learning. The unit will be presented by means of one hour lecture (starting on week 1) and one hour tutorial (starting on week 2) on a weekly basis throughout the course of the semester. Material from lectures will be assessable in the final examination. This unit relies heavily on vUWS to develop a blended learning environment and you are required to use vUWS to submit your assignments. There will also be a wide array of resources, materials, and learning modules that will be available on vUWS to assist you in your study. Furthermore, it is strongly recommended that you regularly visit the vUWS site for unit updates and announcements, to see if resources have been added, and to share your ideas and queries on the vUWS Discussion board. Please note that the Discussion Board is the first point of contact for any queries relating to this unit or the assignments. If you have difficulties accessing vUWS, please contact the e-Learning Helpdesk on (02) 9852 5252 before contacting the unit coordinators. Support for vUWS is available from the IT Service Desk and Blended Learning Platforms ream from 8.00am to 5.00pm Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays and University concessional days).

1.3 What is Expected of You

Workload This is a 10 credit point unit and you should therefore allocate 10 hours per week for this unit. Two hours will be lecture/tutorial time and the remaining 8 hours should be devoted to reading and study, assessment preparation, and revision. In this unit, you will need to devote much of this time to reading the allocated materials. Health science assignments assume development of knowledge, skills and perspectives over time as ‘deep’ learning is required. If you complete the modules, do the associated reading, listen to lectures and actively participate in the tutorials you will be rewarded with development of your knowledge, skills and approach in the area of Psychology and Health, and how this unit applies to your career. Use the lectures, tutorials, online modules and assessments to apply and deepen your understanding of the material. Every lecture, tutorial, on-line module and reading is relevant to the assessments.

Attendance Students are expected to attend all lectures, view all online lectures and attend and participate actively in all tutorial activities. Failure to do so may seriously undermine a student’s ability to complete the unit satisfactorily. Attendance records may be consulted in the assessment of any requests for extensions or Special Consideration. You should advise your tutor if you are unable to attend a tutorial due to illness or misadventure.

Lectures: This subject comprises a combination of online-delivered and face-to-face lectures. This is in line with feedback given from previous cohorts undertaking this unit. Six lectures will be delivered face to face and online, while 7 will be online only (online lectures may be accessed via vUWS (vuws.westernsydney.edu.au ) . We recommend accessing these from a computer in the IT Computer Labs to avoid bandwidth usage at home. Lectures have been recorded in advance using the university’s Lecture Online video podcasting system, and have been placed in your vUWS site to be accessed often. The online lectures have been checked for technical quality. Please see Section 2.3 for an outline of the delivery of the lectures in this subject. Everything in the lectures is assessable in the final subject examination. The readings for the tutorials are also assessable in the final exam. The proposed textbook is only recommended to help you understand the lecture material and is not directly assessable. Tutorial activities are intended to help you consolidate what you have learned from the lectures and provide opportunities for you to engage in deeper learning. Tutorials: You have a one-hour tutorial every week commencing in week 2. Most tutorials have pre- readings or online module activities available on the vUWS unit site.
