This class is a self-paced class with no live meetings. Each week will begin with a video lecture uploaded by the teacher, followed by several assigned activities for students to participate in and/or upload to the classroom. (Please note that the length of the video lecture may change depending on the topic, but that on average, they will last around 45 minutes). Some examples of the main tasks are given in the topic list below. The teacher will visit the classroom regularly to respond to questions and uploaded assignments/tasks. We will explore the Biological factors which can impact our Psychological and Behavioural characteristics. No prior knowledge is required, but an interest in biology and/or psychology would be great!

Orientación para padres
This class will cover the biological perspective of psychology, describing from an academic viewpoint various ways in which biological factors can influence the behaviour of people and animals. Behavioural categories such as anxiety and aggression will be used to illustrate the effect of biology on behaviour. Students will not be expected to share any personal experiences but may do so if they feel comfortable giving an example on any topic.
