Open to all grade 10,  11 and 12 students, this course serves as an introduction to the study of psychology: the study of the human mind and human behaviour. Topics include an introduction to psychology, research methods, the brain and nervous system, states of consciousness (including sleep and dreams), sensation and perception, learning, memory and cognition.

Students will learn about themselves and those around them by studying the attempts to explain and predict why people behave, think, and feel as they do. This is an academic course that will include readings, class discussion, assignments and  projects.
