What could be more important and interesting to learn about than people? At least that's what I thought when I began studying Psychology a dozen years ago, when smartphones were only in science fiction movies. And I still think that. In this course we will present a broad, general survey of the vast field that is Psychology. Because the field is so vast, we will not cover everything, and we will not be able to go into a lot of depth on any particular topic—that will be the work of later psychology courses, if you choose to take them. The main goals of this course are to acquaint you with the different areas contained within psychology, to provide you with some of the major concepts in each area, and to teach you how to think like psychologists. By this, I do not mean that you'll walk around figuring out what's wrong with all of your friends and then present them with a large bill for telling them. Actually, only a small subset of psychologists do this, and it's not a good way to make or keep friends. I do mean that you'll learn to think more critically and scientifically about what makes people think, feel, and behave in the ways that they do. I hope that you'll work hard, learn a lot, and find much of the material interesting and relevant to your life.
