Description

Class Experience

Science can be beautiful, miraculous, and sometimes downright weird!  

Our brains are odd machines.  Everything we know about the brain, was figured out by our brains... woah!

Psychology has long studied the brain and tried to pinpoint how it works.  Every year we learn more, but the brain is so complex that there is always more to learn.  This class details some interesting facts about the human brain and explains the concept of "Two-System" thinking.

Students will learn about "Fast" and...

Students will learn some of the biology and evolutionary psychology involved in our daily thinking.

25 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.

The subject material in this class revolves around Nobel Prize winning psychologist and author Daniel Kahneman's book "Thinking, Fast and Slow."
