The purpose of this course is to provide a broad overview of the history of the field of psychology as well as its current focal points. Research methods and scientific reasoning underlie the exploration and critical evaluation of the five main subfields of modern psychology: biological, developmental, cognitive, social, and mental health. The course will enable learners to evaluate the methods, practices, and findings of psychological studies, thus becoming critical consumers of this body of knowledge.
This course is designed to enhance your understanding of fundamental physical principles through a study of topics from kinematics, dynamics, and thermodynamics. Concepts in this course include Newton’s laws of motion, gravity, work, energy, and momentum. Additional investigations in wave mechanics, sound, temperature, and heat are also included. You will explore these topics and solve a wide array of applicable problems using a background in basic algebra.
This course examines the influence of culture, identity, and power on psychological processes and human experience. Students explore how race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, ability, and worldview shape cognition, emotion, communication, and behavior. The course emphasizes self-reflection, cultural humility, and inclusive practice in both individual and collective contexts, with applications in design, health, sustainability, and leadership.
