Introduction to Psychology

Psychology as a science: how researchers actually study something as slippery as the mind and behavior, and what they've found so far across the brain, learning, memory, development, personality, social context, and clinical disorders. You'll read Feldman chapter by chapter, sit two midterms and a final, and work through weekly homework on Connect — the emphasis is on recognizing findings and methods rather than running your own experiments. It's a broad survey course that satisfies a social science requirement for non-majors and serves as the gateway before any deeper PSYC elective, so treat it as the map you'll need before picking a subfield to specialize in.
