==Educational approach==
There are three educational themes in the design and facilitation of this unit:
===Learning attitude: Engage and participate===
{{quote|Eighty percent of success is showing up.<br>- James Allen}}

Intellectual engagement and active participation in the unit's learning events will facilitate development of the skills and knowledge necessary to demonstrate achievement of the learning outcomes.

Basically, this means adopting a "learning attitude": 
<center>engage + work hard = learn + succeed</center>

===Emerging academics===
[[Emerging academic]]s ("students") and more experienced academics ("teachers") will participate in a collegial academic culture which will develop through facilitated learning events ([[Survey research and design in psychology/Lectures|lectures]], [[Survey research and design in psychology/Tutorials|tutorials]], [[Survey research and design in psychology/Readings|readings]], and [[Survey research and design in psychology/Assessment|assessment]]).

===Open education===
#The unit materials are freely available on the internet. 
#This is an aspirational goal and is under ongoing development.
#All participants are welcome to contribute to development of unit materials by editing and/or commenting.
