Abstract
Besides teaching you the basic concepts of Industrial/Organizational psychology, a major course objective is to give you a detailed picture of what the "company psychologist" does so that you will a) appreciate the difficulty of his/her task, b) be receptive to procedures/innovations proposed by an IO psychologist if you are ever an executive with an IO psychologist as a subordinate, and c) be able to recognize a competent from an incompetent IO psychologist (there are many of the later around). Consequently, this course will take a "nuts and bolts" approach to one of the few areas of psychology that has spawned a technology.
A second purpose is to give you practice at organizing and presenting rather technical, complicated material. This is an essential skill which any liberal arts graduate should possess, and it should be honed by the activities of this course.
