This introductory psychology class is packed with a little bit of information about a lot of different psychological concepts and theories. I have designed this class to make the learning process easier and relevant to you in your everyday life by creating five learning modules. Each of the learning modules is focused on answering a question commonly asked by students in an introductory psychology course.
Throughout these lessons you will explore psychological concepts and theories, how they impact your life and broader society. In addition you will explore how culture interacts with these concepts and theories.
