- Summary
-
Join us for Part Two to continue unlocking a deep understanding of ourselves and the world around us. From unraveling the mysteries of memory to dissecting the complexities of social psychology, students will gain a comprehensive understanding of behavior and mental processes. With an optional college dual enrollment option, this course empowers students to engage critically with psychological theories while fostering a deeper appreciation for Catholic values in understanding the human experience.
Instructor: Kristi Moore, PhD
Course Description: Psychology provides an introduction to the scientific study of behavior and mental processes. The course introduces students to fundamental principles in neuroscience, perception, cognition, learning, memory, motivation, personality, abnormality, and social psychology. The surveyed principles prepare students to think and reflect critically about people.
