Welcome to the Wize Psychology Course!
My name is Janel and I will be your instructor for this Wize Psychology course 😀 

The order your instructor chooses to cover these chapters might be different than how they are laid out in this course - feel free to use this course in the order that matches with your course syllabus.

I've created short video explanations walking you through each of the key psychology concepts. I'll continue to add more practice questions to this course as we go, so make sure to check back in once in a while for more practice opportunities.

If you have any questions, please use the Ask a Question box to reach me.

Let's start studying! 🚀

Hello, I’m confused there are 16 chapters this is 9?

Thank you for the question! Our course content covers all of the 16 chapters in your syllabus, however some overlapping chapters have been condensed into the same module. For example "Learning" and "Memory" are 2 chapters in your textbook, but they are both in the "Learning and Memory" module. The order of the modules also follows that of the syllabus. Hope this helps!

Does the course cover only textbook material? The professor also has video lectures that are testable on the final.

Hello :) This Wize psychology course is not meant to replace your psychology course (lectures) from your university. It is meant to cover the major topics you will see in your psychology course and explain these concepts in a simple, "no fluff" kind of way. Make sure to check your class syllabus and class lectures to know what is testable on the final exam. We're here to help you understand those major concepts! 😀 Let me know if you have any other questions.
