Classroom overview
We have four different courses in the classroom this year. The first semester consists of U.S. History Since 1929, Intro to Criminal Justice, and Psychology while the second semester will have Sociology in place of Psychology.
U.S. History Since 1929:
A COUNTRY is a land defined by borders with a government. A NATION is a group of people that share a common language, culture, and history. This class is the study of the NATION of the United States of America and the history that binds us together. With a focus on events and people since 1929, we will uncover and study those critical moments that helped build the modern society you know today. We will dive into stories, some being first-hand accounts, to better understand where we came from. This class is not focused on names and dates, rather it is a holistic look at where we came from to determine who we are today.
Psychology Class:
What is psychology?
How much of an effect does biology have on our behavior?
Do we learn all of our behaviors?
Psychology is a one-semester social science course in which the foundations, concepts, case studies, practices, and experiments of psychology are studied. Through various means and methods (i.e. lectures, discussion, group activities, projects, papers, etc.) we will examine the basis of how people think and behave.
Criminal Justice:
In the sociological community, a common view of deviance and crime is that it is a healthy part of a stable society. With the idea that there will always be deviance and crime, every healthy society has a structure for dealing with crime. Criminal Justice is the study of the three main elements of how our society deals with deviance; policing, judicial, and corrections. In this introductory class, we will spend time digging into each of those three elements and determine how they function as a whole. We will evaluate the challenges each institution faces and explore possible solutions.
