InstructionA.Comment on Departmental teaching load for academic year.In the fall quarter 1969 66 classes were taught with an average of 40students per class. This includes all graduate classes as well as under-graduate classes. In the winter quarter 63 classes were taught, againwith an average enrollment of 44 students per class. In the spring

quarter 68 classes were taught with an average class size of 42.B. Average Departmental teaching load for academic year.~Faculty members averaged teaching between 11 and 12 hours per quarter.We need smaller classes in physiological psychology and in experimentalpsychology. We can continue to carry large loads in Psychology 50,Psychology 100, Psychology 240, and Psychology 305 without serious troublewith the quality of teaching.C. Comment on what is being done to attain or maintain a strong, consistentfaculty demand for higher quality student performance.The Psychology Department ranks about in the middle as far as the gradedistribution pattern at East Carolina is concerned. We have managed to main-tain the quality of student performance rather well by demanding that certainof our classes screen out the weaker student. For example, statistics,experimental psychology, and physiological psychology at least keep theilliterate from graduating. Our best students compare favorably with graduatesfrom outstanding universities in the country.D. Comment on methods used to safeguard security of test materials.The mimeograph room is still used as a locked vault-type room with eachprofessor having an individual storage space for tests and other materials.This room is kept locked whenever the office is not occupied. The door hasa special steel bolt lock with only two keys available which the Departmentalsecretaries have in their possession at all times.E. Comment on any innovations in teaching methods since last report.Innovations in experimental psychology and in physiological psychology arecontinued to be tried each quarter. Team teaching was tried for Psychology305 with very excellent comments from the students.F. Comment on methods used to assure that at least one essay examination or thenearest equivalent is given in each course.Staff members are reminded of the ruling of at least one essay examination.Several staff members prefer essay exams but it is a problem with the hugesections of some of the courses.G. Comment on orientation of new faculty and teaching fellows.New faculty members are immediately placed in committee positions to thatthey can learn quickly the operations of the Department. Teaching Fellowsare counseled intensively at the beginning of the quarter in regard to theirwork. Dr. Mitchell heads this work and monthly meetings are held with theTeaching Fellows.H. Comment on measures currently used to assure effective and helpful studentadvising.Counseling of our graduate students, we think, is excellent. Upper divisionundergraduate students are handled well because the staff members have verystrong feelings for these students.

V. School or Departmental DevelopmentA. List areas of specialty within the fields that are thought to be necessaryor desirable to the present program or to the early expansion of the pro-gram in which the Department (1) has no qualified faculty members, or(2) where the qualified faculty member within that field is within twoyears of retirement.Programs which must be implemented with a substantial thrust include theschool psychologists degree, which will be a 2-year Master's program andthe Master's in industrial psychology. We are presently preparing anemphasis in behavioral modification for the Master's program.A psychological services center is still badly needed at the University andby the community. This would be a necessity if we are to ever offer adoctoral program in clinical psychology at East Carolina University.B. List national honor society or societies with which Department is affiliated,noting new affiliations since last report.Psi Chi is the only honorary fraternity pertaining to psychology and theDepartment continues to have an excellent chapter.C.
