The end of the semester is closing in!

Please take a moment and click on this link: The end is in sight!

Welcome to all! I'm looking forward to the semester ahead and hope you are excited to delve into the many interesting topics covered in PSY 102.

We start with Lifespan Development, move right into Gender and Sexuality and then delve, just a tad, into your own personality traits. Next topic is social psychology, language and intelligence (what exactly does it mean when we say someone is smart?) and then ponder a bit about psychological disorders and, of course, therapies to help with psychological disorders. All that's left then is the final - WHEW!

Absolutely crucial to keeping up with the course content is to peruse your syllabus MOST CAREFULLY. It's your guide to important course information, assignments, due dates, which VIDEOS you need to be watching, and other important information.

Almost every question can be answered by checking out your syllabus first. Here's the syllabus to download

PSY 102 DS01 Syllabus SU19.pdf and you can find some basic syllabus information on the "Syllabus" link found on the LH menu right here in CANVAS.

Also, keep an eye out for important announcements either on this page or in your Announcements link in the LH course menu.

In one of your last assignments, "Making Psychology Part of Your Life", I ask you to think about your learning over the course of the semester. A couple of questions you will respond ask: "How can the study of psychology improve your life?" and "Can you really change your life?"

I'd like you to start pondering & reflecting about these questions now so you can be prepared to answer these questions.
