Subject:

Description:

PSY102 provides an introduction to critical thinking skills that help students better understand the subject matter and methods of psychology. It acquaints students with standard resources for investigating psychological topics, from journals to electronic databases and the worldwide web. Information about careers in psychology and options for graduate study are presented. Students learn how to separate the science from the pseudoscience in general media presentations of psychological information. An important aspect of the course is its practical, "hands­on," approach to learning about psychology. It provides basic skills with which students may continue to explore and learn about psychology whether in future college courses or on their own as consumers of psychological information. PSY 102 is required for Psychology Majors but is also appropriate for any student interested in learning more about psychology. This course is typically offered in the Spring semester.
