Desc:For FSAP Students Only. Psychology is the study of the human experience, including why we think, feel, and behave in the ways that we do. This course will introduce you to wide-ranging topics: how the mind processes information and functions at a biological level; the mental processes that affect our memories, thoughts, and emotions; how children develop and come to know the world around them; how we form judgments and make decisions (and why rational people sometimes behave in irrational ways); the role of emotion in our daily functioning; and how personality traits we are born with interact with our social environment to give rise to our thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors. We also will cover the nature of mental disorders and how they are treated, along with the nature of happiness and what we can do to increase life satisfaction. This course also is designed to help you think critically about portrayals of psychology in the media, and how to identify whether claims made about human phenomena are empirically based and credible. This course will count as a Social & Behavioral Science (SSC) distribution requirement. 3 credits

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
