Humanities

Critical thinking is one of the most important skills one can develop, which is why Psychology Basics introduces the study of the human mind and behaviour with a special emphasis on cultivating this ability. And while students learn about a wide scope of psychological concepts, they are always encouraged to ask themselves a simple question: “what does this really mean”? Suddenly, complex ideas become clearer and somewhat more relevant. To additionally support the learning process, the course aims to deepen their levels of processing through varied coursework: students recall new knowledge in quizzes, apply it independently in mini-essays, consolidate it in a collaborative task, and actively evaluate it during virtual discussions. The course therefore lays a great foundation for those planning to enrol in the AP track and/or study psychology at university later. Yet, it needs to be emphasized that it is equally useful for those with different ambitions who simply wish to explore this field out of curiosity.
