Describe the TLAs: TLA1: Lectures Major theories and principles and concepts in health psychology are described and explained, with emphasis on the utility of various psychological paradigms in testing specific hypotheses in different areas of health psychology. Students will be engaged in discussion and interaction that serve to stimulate their creative thinking and brainstorm innovative ideas on selected issues related to health psychology. Lectures will either expand upon the text by considering some topics in greater detail, or include material not discussed in the text. TLA2: Tutorials Tutorial discussion provides an interactive environment for students to develop creative and critical thinking. Through tutorial discussion, students can learn to examine assumptions and key themes of theories in health psychology via discovery-enhanced learning. Tutorials are designed to promote students’ discovery of the association between research and real-life experiences, whilst also promoting a thirst for students’ active learning of health psychology. TLA3: Self-learning activities Self-learning activities include group project and assignment. Students are provided with chance to explore in depth through self-discovery a current issue addressed within health psychology (current prevention programs, health concerns, health issues, i.e. obesity, abuse, eating disorders etc) in small group. These activities are meant to be a fun and interesting way to increase students’ comprehension of course material and to help students apply theories of health psychology to everyday life.
