Psychology 100
Introduction to Psychology
Welcome to Ruth Frickle's Psychology 100 web page.
About Psychology 100
Psychology 100 is a survey course, which means that we cover a very broad
range of topics in psychology. Because it is so broad, it's a challenging as well as
fun class. I am always excited to teach about the complex and diverse ways that
psychology explores behavior and mental processes.
This course prepares students to
go on to 200 level psychology courses.
