This introductory course identifies those scientific methods used to study human behavior. Discussion centers around the contribution of heredity, environment, learning, perception, motivation, and emotion in shaping our individual personalities. In addition, students will be required to submit work that is representative of honors-level course work; to that end, more time will be dedicated to developing argumentation and research skills. Among the assignments types that may be required are documented research papers and/or comparable research projects. Students who complete the course will also have the opportunity to present their work at the annual Honors Fair.

This course is available to all programs and majors on campus through the STCC Honors program or with permission of instructor.
