Message from the Instructor

Welcome to the fascinating world of psychology, the science of behaviour and the mind. This course introduces you to the broad range of topics that we study in the field of psychology including perception, cognition, learning and motivation and their biological substrata as well as social psychology, infant and child development, individual differences, and abnormal psychology. You should gain some insight into what makes people think, feel, and behave the way that they do. NOTE: this course is not intended to help you solve behavioural/emotional problems requiring professional attention. Each module in this blended course consists of three components. The student is expected to study the assigned lecture notes and online resources; read the assigned sections of the textbook; and attend and participate in the tutorial sessions (either online or in person).
