  • ** Attention potential Psychology students! Please note that Psychology 1 IS NOT a prerequisite for Psychology 2. The only difference is the units of study. Psychology 1 looks at Social Psychology, Biopsychology, Consciousness, Learning, & Personality, whereas Psychology 2 looks at Research Methods, Development, Sensation & Perception, & Psychological Disorders. Feel free to sign up exclusively for either section (or both!) if you are interested in learning about why humans think and behave the way they do!  Please see Mr. Griffis in room 911 if you have any questions!
