During this course I hope to gain insight into the social aspect of psychology, from the social problems that will be discussed like prejudice and discrimination to behaviors of people. The attitudes and behaviors of people and how they are formed as well as how they can change to attempt to understand others is a topic that piques my interest. The course objectives in the syllabus will help me navigate and gives a guideline to what I should be able to take away from my readings and notes throughout this course. By the end of this course, I will be able to answer them and to understand why they are important for social psychology. To keep myself organized in this course I plan to make sure I understand my notes and the information that is given to me from the PowerPoints by reading the textbook. Secondly, by completing the learning checks provided for the end of each chapter will help me retain what I have read and critically think about the information provided.
