  • The assignments were unique to anything I've ever done in a Psychology course, and got us to engage with other students in China and the United States, giving that extra level of analysis for us to be applying into these communications. Also the course really gets you to re-evaluate much of what we assume to be universal truths in Psychology, as it examines issues of sampling in most research requiring us to look further beyond the Canadian lens of cultural biases we might be inserting into our understanding of how the mind works.

PSYCH 352 vs. PSYCH 354 4 points, 0 comments

u/waterloowitch: “Trying to pick between these two... if anyone has taken either can you tell me how it was? PSYCH 352 (Culture and Psychology) is with Igor Grossman and PSYCH 354 (Interpersonal Relations) is with John Rempel.”
