Have you ever wondered why people think, feel, and act the way they do? Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behavior, and this course is your starting point to explore it. Together, we’ll look at the history of psychology, the major perspectives that shape how psychologists understand human behavior, and the research methods that make psychology a science.
Throughout the semester, you’ll discover how psychology connects to your daily life—how memory works, why habits form, what motivates people, and how culture and biology influence us. We’ll use real-life examples, discussions, and activities to make key concepts practical and engaging.
By the end of the course, you’ll not only have a solid foundation in psychology but also new ways to think critically, understand yourself and others, and apply psychological insights in school, work, and everyday life.
