By the end of the course, you will be more familiar with theories and significant research findings from psychology and have a better understanding of the methods by which psychologists’ study human behavior.   

This is an introductory survey course in psychology.  We will examine and discuss groundbreaking studies from several subfields of psychology, including neuroscience, learning, developmental, personality, clinical, and social.  This course is designed to promote a collaborative learning environment. This means that we will all learn from one another.  

The University of New Orleans International Summer School program has a mandatory class attendance policy. All students are required to attend class for all morning classes and any required afternoon and/or weekend fields trips and lectures. No unexcused absences are allowed. However, LFU students who have to miss a UNO class due to LFU examinations in the first two weeks of our program, can receive one excused absence for this. Any further unexcused absences will result in an academic penalty. Each faculty member determines the penalty for missed classes. Most professors deduct a letter grade for each additional missed class day. For details, please refer to your course syllabi, which will be distributed on the first day of class. The listed ECTS credits are a recommendation by the University of New Orleans Innsbruck Summer School, based on contact hours, anticipated out-of-classroom requirements such as field trips, and projected workload for readings, assignments, and exam preparation.
