“Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.”

-Carl Jung

Course Description: Psychology is the study of human behavior and mental processes. It covers everything that people think, feel, and do. This course is designed for students to gain a better understanding of people and insight into their behavior. It also hopes to offer students practical information on how to deal with situations in everyday life. Through reading, discussion, research, experimentation and hypothesis students will gain understandings to help them describe, explain, predict, and control behaviors. This survey course focuses on psychology as a basic research science and will provide a solid foundation in the basic theories and principles of psychology. It will also guide you toward a greater understanding of your own capacity for growth. Hopefully, you will be able to benefit from the findings in a field that touches almost every aspect of your daily lives.
