Psychology Class
Psychology is a science that attempts to observe, describe, explain, predict and control human behavior. Through various class activities, demonstrations, "experiments", discussion and videos this course will introduce students to many dimensions of psychology. Our hope is that through our units of study students will make connections to their own personal life experiences and learn about themselves in the process.
