PSY 200 Essential Skills and Tools in Psychology

Fall-Spring Semesters

This course provides students with the opportunity to further develop the essential skills needed in psychology—1) critical thinking, 2) critical reading, and 3) writing, using the major elements of APA (American Psychological Association) editorial style. A process learning approach will be used in which students will develop these skills in the context of several tasks, such as structured assignments for reading and critically evaluating both theoretical works and empirical articles in the field, and the completion of an APA-formatted literature review. Prerequisite: PSY 100 , Psychology major or permission of instructor.
