Regular interaction with instructor. I am committed to responding to any and all contacts within 36 hours, usually my response time will be much less. Please let me know if I fail you in this regard - I will make every effort to respond quickly. I began writing this page in my brain as I got out of the shower just the other day. So, I am hoping that at every point along the way I can provide you with a little bit of me - the personal touches that are missing because we don't see one another twice a week.
Psychology is the study of human behavior.
It is, more correctly, the scientific study of human behavior and mental processes. In order to approach psychology scientifically, we have to start with the same methods used by all the sciences. Ideally, in order to make a cause and effect conclusion, we employ the experimental method. But sometimes we simply can't do that. No one is going to allow you to deprive their child of exposure to language in order to see if language exposure is necessary for language development - so, we must approach some questions through alternative means.
