CLASS RECORDING POLICY: When you enroll in this class, you are paying for the live class, just like if this were an in-person class. I do not share recordings of my group classes in order to protect the privacy of all learners—many parents do not feel comfortable with other families having access to videos that include their child, and to maintain the experience of the class—this class has been designed for a live experience that includes video and interactive slides. Watching a recording while simultaneously attempting to independently navigate the slides and activities will not result in the same experience.
Learning Goals
Students will gain a basic understanding of psychology, including the goals, history, modern perspectives, and subfields.
