Why do people think, act, and feel certain ways? If you are curious about these questions, you might be interested in learning more about psychology. Psychology is the study of behavior and mental processes. In this class, we will cover major theories in psychology. This is an ongoing class which means learners can join and leave at any time. Each topic is independent of each other. I will present information from scientific journals and an open source introduction to psychology textbook in a lecture format (please see the "sources" section for more details). I will leave time for discussion and questions at the end of class.
