Description:

Prereq. SSC 101 or IN 130 completed or concurrent - This course combines an introductory course in psychology (a discipline that studies human behavior in all its facets, including the processes that underlie that behavior) and a course in life span development. The student places major emphasis on two areas: studying the different aspects of behavior as classified in psychology (e.g., learning, motivation, personality) and developing elementary analytical and problem-solving skills to facilitate making her own inferences about the underlying processes of behavior. She also examines human development and learning for the entire life span with emphasis on major theories and current research in education and psychology. She is expected to identify and analyze behavioral aspects in laboratory settings of human subjects representing the life stages. She is also expected to acquire problem-solving techniques, the ability to evaluate and compare theories, the ability to identify and evaluate contemporary and global aspects of development, and communication skills.
