Psychology and SociologyPsychology looks at the way that human's minds operate and how our minds perceive the world around them. Psychology seeks to build an understanding of how the mind builds its own perception of itself, constructs the identity of an individual, and helps place the individual within the conscious and unconscious world. In this semester long online course students will be working through an examination of how Psychologists study the role of the individual and group dynamics, how individuals learn and develop, how individuals work as part of a larger whole, and finally how the mind seeks to interpret its own reality. Through studying Psychology students will have a better understanding of the way the mind works and develop their ability to think critically.
Sociology is essentially the study of Human behavior and Social Structures. In this one semester class we will examine social phenomenon from an academic perspective looking for patterns of social interaction and how those interactions influence human behavior. Through a variety of methods students will explore different sociological ideas from an educative perspective in order to develop their own social perspectives and critical thinking skills. |
