In this 8-week course, students will learn the anatomy of the human brain, the nervous system, and a general overview of psychology.
Class Experience
Science, anatomy, and psychology don't have to be overly complicated subjects! I break down big terms and concepts into bite-sized pieces of information so students can better understand the material. I created this class to be a unique twist on human anatomy. Not just naming the parts of the body, but learning how they all connect and work together to make us... us! My hope is students leave class with a deeper understanding of the human body and an appreciation for just how cool it...
