Introduction to Psychology

The human mind and human behavior seem impossibly complex, but what do the academics say, and how does that compare with what the Bible says? Please join us in studying a personally relevant, dynamic, and important subject: psychology! Topics include contributions to theories about human behavior by major psychologists, research ethics, child and adolescent development, the process of aging, anatomy of the human brain and the human nervous system, parenting styles, optical illusions, sensation and perception, sleeping patterns and disorders, and more! Through text lessons, web-based labs that present case studies, and reflective choice-based research projects, students will understand these topics in relation to what God’s Word says about them and learn how that is often different than what the world says about them!
