Social Studies: Psychology 12

Psychology is a fascinating subject that attempts to understand and explain human behaviour. Have you ever wondered why we sleep or what purposes dreams serve? Have you ever wanted to know more about mental illnesses, what causes them, and how they are treated? Have you ever thought about the science behind memory and wanted to know how you can improve yours? Have you ever been curious about body language or how to tell if someone is lying? Psychology looks at these questions and many more.

Introduction to Psychology is a survey course intended to introduce students to the captivating study of human behaviour. Through the examination of historical and current topics in Psychology, students will leave this class with a better understanding of the curiosities of human nature, why they are the way they are, and why others behave the way they do.
