Syllabus
COURSE OBJECTIVES
The objective of this course is to familiarize students with the basic psychological concepts and processes
to understand human mind and behavior in relation to self and others. Specifically, it provides a basic
understanding of psychological science of human nature. It familiarizes students on how biology, cognition
and action influence the human behavior and personality of the individual. It helps to acquire the knowledge
of different psychological processes and their effect on human cognition and behavior. Finally, it develops
an understanding of how human behavior can be understood, shape, and applied in individual and
group/social level.

This course surveys the major concept, theories, and processes of basic psychology. It addresses the core
psychological process as well as their importance on individual and social setting.
COURSE OUTCOMES
By the end of this course, students should be able to:

know basic concepts of human psychology and the core processes related to psychology;

have an idea of the major theories that explain human behavior and cognitive processes:

use psychological knowledge to describe and explain human behavior in personal and social settings;
and

apply human psychology in understanding and explaining individual and social level of behavior.
