This one semester class is offered as an elective. The course focuses on the development of psychology as a science and its application to the solution of human problems. Students will also study personality development, perception and states of consciousness, learning and remembering, motivation and emotion, as well as mental disorders and their treatment. Students will complete experiments and an independent research project on a topic of their choice (subject to teacher approval).
Our second and third chapters deal with human development and the personality. Students will complete a project as parents. if anyone has a dolls or bags of flour they would like to donate, we would appreciate it. I have ordered electronic dolls which makes the simulation more realistic but it is doubtful that they will arrive in time. if anyone has any concerns over this unit, feel free to contact me.
