During the fall semester of 2023, I took introduction to psychology. Introduction to psychology was a required class for my BSW and there was an honors section provided for this class which made the selection of this specific class very easy for me. In this class we learned a lot about different types of psychology like behavioral neuroscience and cognition as well. This will be helpful in my career as a social worker as it has helped me to better understand how the human mind works on a scientific level.

For honors credit, it is common that an additional project is assigned in any class that is for honors credit. For introduction to psychology, we completed a group project about a common misconception or myth in psychology. My group worked through the myth about the suppression of traumatic memories and presented out project at the end of the semester to our class.
