Be able to explain the nature of theory and its role in research (i. e. how does it differ from belief?) Getting you to think like a personality psychologist. An understanding of personality becomes foundational to almost every other branch of psychology: non-psychology people. An appreciation for the many ways that personality can help us to understand ourselves and the world around us. Development of critical thinking and information literacy (skills that apply across disciplines) Course outline available on our course web site we are saving trees by not printing these out (your grandchildren will thank you) Read about the various components of the course & know the deadlines (i. e. essay, midterm, Final exam & the personality questionnaires and grade-raising option) The best way to contact me is via email: chris_motz@carleton. ca.
