Other Information about the Course |
Introduction to Psychology grants a lot of knowledge! As you might expect, we cover various psychological disorders and investigate appropriate therapies. However, we also cover a host of other topics such as learning, romantic relationships, stress/coping, memory, child & adult development, sleep/dreaming, group dynamics, body image, personality...and more! This course will grant you insight into self and others & help you in career, relationships and living. It will also allow you to understand why psychology is a scientific study (very different from psycho-nonsense from unscientific sources) that provides necessary information for all majors.
Success in this course mandates that you read the text, ask questions about the concepts, answer online questions and provide examples of various concepts.
There is no need to come to campus for any portion of this course. IT WILL BE GREAT GETTING TO KNOW YOU THROUGH DISCUSSION POSTINGS!
