This class is intended to replace a standard college introductory course to Psychology. However, you will probably find that based on your teacher/TA/peers you will invariably accomplish nothing. Expect inside jokes to rise exponentially, especially those involving Freud and his outdated theories about the mind.

Also, you will receive a book that you may not even look at (depending on your instructor), not that it matters. It is called: 40 Studies That Changed Psychology. Very good book, if you're actually interested in psychology it's fun to read. It appears as though recently the TIP Psychology curriculum has changed, however, for students at Davidson and ASU have reported receiving the textbook called Exploring Psychology (Eighth Edition) by David G. Myers. There has been much speculation as to why exactly this book has been chosen instead to educate young children of approximately 13 years old, for its pages are filled with comics and "jokes" that are meant to be humorous (but are not) and almost every other page refers to something suggestive or sexual. At Davidson, it is a Psychology tradition to sign the blank pages at the back of others' books like a yearbook on the last day of term.
