Psychology: Understanding Ourselves and Others

Do you ever wonder why people behave the way they do? What were they thinking? What motivates your own behaviour and thinking? Through experiments, videos, reflections, and other activities, you will better understand how the mind works. Like how you learn and forget things. Or how you can use psychological knowledge to improve your sleep, enhance your understanding of mental health and psychological disorders, and make sense of how people behave in groups. You will even have some choice in how you demonstrate this learning! Note: this course was previously titled "Selected Topics in Psychology".
