In this course, high school students will learn about the fundamentals of psychology such as why we need psychology, research methods, the history of psychology, the various subfields within the field (cognitive, social, clinical, etc.), biological bases of behavior in psychology, motivation, and needs in psychology, memory & cognition in psychology, developmental psychology, memory and cognition, sleep and other states of consciousness and the basics of abnormal psychology. This is a weekly class that will meet for 55 minutes and will last for 8 weeks. Students will meet each week for a lecture on the different topics of psychology. The first 10 minutes of class the teacher will ask a question relevant to the topic and hear what students already know and facilitate focus for the class, followed by a lecture from the instructor on the topic of the week, the last 15 minutes of each class will be open for questions/discussion. Students will be assigned homework, after each class, the student will be required to write a 500 word summary of what they have learned within the course, and what was most interesting/surprising for them. The students will receive feedback from the instructor. No experience or background in psychology is required. Students will also receive a PDF, (around 3 pages for each week) for personal review.
