Incorporated into the class are two very important systems. The first is Performance Management. Dr. Malott wants all of his students to feel as though they can succeed and produce a high quality work product and that he and his graduate students are there to support them in doing so.
The second system incorporated into the Psych 3600 class, is Continuous Quality Improvement. Dr. Malott and his graduate students ascribe to the concept that one must not blame the student if they don’t do well, instead one must blame the teacher or the material. The TA’s meet twice a week to discuss the course material, the problems their students are having and to perform error analysis on both the quizzes and the homeworks for the past week.
Problem areas are identified as any question that 5 or more students (from all classes) answered incorrectly. Those problem areas are then given to the system manager and the undergraduate assistant so that they may decide if the problem has arisen because of the text material, the actual homework question, the actual quiz question or the simply difficulty of the concept.

Principles of Behavior 6th Edition
The most vital components of the system are the students of Psych 3600! While most of them find the chapter evaluations tedious and pointless, we on the other hand, find them not only very informative but also amusing. The students of 3600 never quite realize just how influential their opinions really are.
