PSY Psychology CoursesSCI199Y1
Undergraduate seminar that focuses on specific ideas, questions, phenomena or controversies, taught by a regular Faculty member PSY100Y1
A survey course introducing students to concepts, issues, and research methods in the broad field of contemporary psychology. NOTE: PSY 101H1 and 102H are the two halves of PSY 100Y1. PSY 101H1 is restricted to first year students who plan to be Neuroscience specialists and who do not want to take the whole of PSY 100Y1. PSY 102H1 is the continuation of PSY 100Y1 for those students in PSY 101H1 who
change their minds. Advanced students (i.e., those with 4 or more full-course credits) who want to take the NRS specialist program require
departmental approval to register in PSY 101H1. Please note that you should NOT register in PSY 101H1 if you also plan to register in PSY 102H1 the following term. Instead, you should register in PSY 100Y1. PSY 101H1 and 102H are identical in CONTENT to PSY 100Y1 but are not
identical in their METHODS OF EVALUATION. PSY 102H1 is intended for Neuroscience students as an option in their second year of study. PSY101H1
