During the Summer 2024 term (14 May – 27 June), Poli 323–Political Psychology will meet online in fully synchronous sessions each Tuesday and Thursday between 9:30am and noon.

Zoom connection:

For the most part, the first hour of each class will consist of lecture regarding the class topic and the final hour will be devoted to presentations, discussion and class exercises. A scheduled 30-minute break will be held between 10:30am-11am. The instructor will not record any portion of the class; any personal recording of the first hour of class must be only for individual review and study. Recordings of the second hour of class should not be made under any circumstances, as participating students will have no opportunity to consent to such recordings.

Summer 2024 office hours will be held on a drop-in basis each Monday and Wednesday 11am-12 noon. As necessary, private meetings can be arranged via email. UVic email: josephf@uvic.ca

Getting Started

Class sessions for this course will be conducted online using Zoom. Registered Students may access our online class sessions via BrightSpace using the Course Tools menu or directly at:

Generally speaking, students will be required to share their video on Zoom, particularly during class discussions, exercises and presentations. Please contact the instructor if this poses a problem for a particular class session. Of course, there will be times when one’s zoom audio should be muted.

A reference guide for using Zoom is available at:
