Super A

SUPER A Mission Statement: The purpose of Super A is to train undergraduate students in goal setting and attainment, data graphing, and research experience, in order to produce competent behavior analysts, so that future employers, professors, graduate schools, and clients can benefit from the students skills. As a result, they will save the world with behavior analysis.

Dr. Malott supervises three undergraduate courses: Psychology 360, Psychology 100 Honors, and Psychology 460. Super A is a supplemental course available to any Psychology 360 or Psychology 100 Honors students who has a 92% or higher in all areas of the course: quiz, homework, participation, and rat lab. Super A students that meet this requirement must obtain 500 optional activity points (OAPs) to earn the one credit A for Psychology 360 Honors. The students earn their OAPS by participating in a wide variety of extra activities:

Completion of extra rat labs
Attending departmental functions
Finding grammatical errors in the text/quizzes/homework
Implementing self-management projects
Conducting or participating in research
Writing answers to section questions
Attending weekly meetings
Giving in-class presentations relevant to behavior analysis
Developing goals and tracking progress

These activities allow the students to gain a more advanced repertoire in the area of behavior analysis. At the end of the semester, if the students have met the 92% average in all areas of their Psychology 360/100 Honors course, and earned their 500 OAPs, they can register for their one credit of "A" the following fall or spring semester.
