UTPSY 209 Psychology in Everyday Life

Is memory like a camera? Can happiness be learned? Students will examine how psychologists use the scientific method to study a range of everyday human experiences. The course is structured around Dinner Table Conversations that reflect psychology’s broad scope, including human development, biopsychology, cognition, social behavior, and psychological health and distress. Writing is a substantial part of the course, and students will address issues in civic engagement in both writing and other activities.
