The formal study of human behavior has been around for less than 200 years. In this relatively brief time the purview of psychology has become almost unmanageably vast. To make matters worse dozens of fields and phenomena have emerged that are popularly and erroneously believed to be related to the science of psychology (e.g. dowsing mind reading astrology biorhythms spoon bending channeling subliminal self-help psychic surgery etc.) This course will equip students with the tools to evaluate scientific assertions as well as to distinguish pseudo- or non-scientific claims from scientific claims.Prerequisite: PSYC1010 and CSCM1030 or CSHR10303 Credits
