TITLE

The Best Study Methods for Psychology Students

DESCRIPTION

From the website article:

“Psychology classes are sometimes a struggle for students, especially for those with little or no background in the subject. For this reason, it is extra important to establish good study habits.

Because psychology is such a diverse field, students may occasionally feel overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information on the subject. Students of psychology soon realize that the subject covers a huge range of material. An introductory course alone encompasses discussions of psychology’s philosophical background, social statistics, biological influences, experimental methods, and much more.

The diverse topics students might study in the field of psychology include social behavior, personality, research methods, therapeutic techniques, and much more.”

This is a great resource for Psychology students!   It should be assigned either at the beginning of the course or after the first exam.  It provides very practical steps to study efficiently.  Also, the links provided in the article are more resources for success.
