| Class Description |
|
The Psychology instructor’s recommendation is required to take this course in 11th grade. As an elective, this course is designed to mirror the college level introduction to Psychology courses required in most fields of study. The course enhances the student’s understanding of human development and behavior. Historical analysis of the field of Psychology is balanced with discussion of current Psychological issues especially relevant to the high school student. Classic debates such as Nature/Nurture are intertwined with contemporary research and current perspectives in the field, as well as with each student’s personal thoughts and experiences. Specific topics include Research Methods, Neuroscience and Brain Development, Human Sexuality, Psychological Disorders and Parapsychology. The course DOES NOT reduce the social studies requirement. |
