This course surveys questions about human behavior and mental life ranging from
how you see to why you fall in love. The great controversies: nature and nurture, free
will, consciousness, human differences, self and society. Students are exposed to the
range of theoretical perspectives including biological, evolutionary, cognitive, and
psychoanalytic. One of the best aspects of psychology is that you are the subject matter.
This makes it possible to do many demonstrations in lecture that allow you to experience
the topic under study.
