PSY 1017 INTRODUCTION TO PSYCHOLOGY
Designed for students not majoring in psychology. Can be used for the minor. This lecture-based course will provide students with a general introduction to the main theories, methods, and findings in a variety of areas of psychology. It differs from PSY 1004 with regard to the intellectual sophistication level at which topics are presented; the goal of this course is to provide a broad overview of psychology intended for the general student population, not for the psychology major. Topics include the history of psychology, sensation and perception, brain and behavior, learning and memory, intelligence, developmental, personality theories, social psychology, and psychopathology. Other topics may include altered states of consciousness, cognition, language, motivation, or emotions.
