Psychology - the study of the mind and behavior - is a fascinating field. It lays the foundation for understanding people, getting along with them, becoming a better team member and manager and improving relationships. Learning how psychology affects our daily lives can enhance your life both personally and professionally in so many ways. And you don't have to pursue psychology as a professional practitioner to appreciate its many benefits.
The Psychology Course is comprised of 17 comprehensive lessons. They are easy to follow, yet challenging and stimulating at the same time. Each lesson begins with a subject matter preview and objectives, an introductory note from your instructor and a vocabulary builder of new words and terms.
Next comes the reading assignment. Practice exercises help you check and review what you've learned. At the end of the lesson is an open-book exam, which you may take online.
