Details about this class
Hi everyone! This class will be in person, twice a week at the Rock Creek Campus. I'm really looking forward to meeting with folks in real time/real space!
PSY 214 - Introduction to Personality is one of my favorite courses to teach! We cover all the oldies (but goodies) of theory, as well as emerging research on personality AND we discuss how these theories are relevant to our everyday lives. As a preview to assignments - you'll be asked to take a number of fun personality assessments, as well as to describe your personality in a short paper. You'll also be required to write (or present) on how at least two of the theories we discuss apply to who you are. So yes- be prepared to consider what make you...YOU!
Cheers!
SIDE NOTE: There is a required text but it is FREE and embedded on our course page! =)
