PSYC101 Psychology: Understanding Individuals

Since the beginning of time, human beings have been fascinated by the question: Who am I? Who is anyone else? The human brain is quite possibly the most complex mechanism we possess—our gateway to understanding the world, interpreting reality, and making sense of our own and others’ behavior. Drawing on the methods, theories, and frameworks provided by psychologists, this introductory course sheds light on what it means to be the person you are. Emphasis is on the individual, providing a personal frame of reference for developing an understanding of human thoughts, emotions, and actions. To make the learning experience highly relevant and of personal impact, students complete a well-used personality inventory and use the profile to gain insight into that eternal question: who am I?
