WELCOME: Welcome to Introduction to Psychology! The purpose of this course is to provide students an overview of the various aspects of psychology. Each chapter covers what is essentially a full 3-credit course (e.g., Social Psychology, Development, Biological Psychology, etc.), so we will only scratch the surface with each of these topics this semester.

COURSE DESCRIPTION: This class will draw heavily on psychological principles such as motivation, learning, attitudes, personality, communication, and social psychology as it focuses on human relationships and leadership skills necessary for you to be successful in your personal and work life.
