Description:

3 Credit Hours Fall/Spring Sems. This course introduces students to the field of psychology. It sets modern psychology in a meaningful context, examining how the discipline has developed from its early traditions through present-day schools of thought. Students will explore the fundamental question of nature versus nurture in the development of the human mind. They will examine human perception, how it can differ from one culture to another, and the manner in which learning occurs. The course ties what we know about cognition, thought, language, and intelligence to the everyday lives of students. Thus, the classroom is viewed as a laboratory. (3 hours lecture).
