課堂經歷
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!
學習目標
Students will learn the names and functions associated with parts of the brain and nervous system.
Students will learn how to apply their knowledge of the nervous system to topics such as stress, anxiety, and treatment of mood disorders.
Students will learn how biology can underpin the motivation for different behaviours and emotions.
Students will learn terminology around genetic inheritance, and understand how to interpret information in terms of whether or not it suggests a genetic or evolutionary component to different types of behaviour.

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.
