Hello Mr. Heller :)
This is Kate Brown.

Here are my answers.

1. In Psychology I expect to learn about the inner workings of the human mind so that i can better understand why people think what they think, do what they do, etc. Also, I'd like to learn a little more about the way that my own brain works, you know what triggers certain emotions and actions in people, that sort of thing. I would like to learn about how certain occurances in life may effect the thought process and personality development people. Other than that I'm not really sure what to expect.

2.Well, I'm not exactly sure that I know very much about psychology.
What I do know is that it is the study of brain processes and behavior. I think that Psychologists study mental processes like how people percieve things, memory strengths and weaknesses, and emotions. I think thats minimal knowledge at least, and i'm interested in learning the specifics.

I hope that these are sufficient answers :)

1. I expect to learn why people think the way they do.
If a person can help what they think without having some type of medical problem or without having to be on some sort of medication.
What triggers multiple personalities and other pyschological illnesses.

2. I know pyschologists know how to help people in their time of need, what medications go with what illness, and why and how multiple personalities and other illnesses are affected.

1. Expectations: In this class, I am expecting to learn a lot about psychology and the way that the brain works. I'm hoping that after taking this class I will understand a little better why different people act and respond to things the way that they do and what really goes on inside the human brain. I am also expecting / hoping that what I learn throughout this course about the way the human brain works will help me to better understand my own problems and help other people with theirs.

2. What I think I know: Well I don't really know a whole lot, except that it is the study of the human brain. I also think that it explains why people act and respond the way they do to certain things and what part of the brain triggers and causes certain behaviors in people. I don't really know if that's right, but I look forward to learning more.

Jordan Setser,

1. I expect to learn alot about psychology. I would like to sometime be the guy that gives advice. I also hope to be able to talk to a person and be able to figure out much more than I ever could have before. I'm very excited.

2. I know that psycology is the study of how the human reacts to the brains responce and how and why the human reacts how it does.

In psychology i expect to learn about they way and reasons people behave. I also expect to learn about human behavior patterns because thats what it said on the paper you handed out today.

I know very little about psychology. I mostly know that people take psychology to be a therapist and they help people that may have problems emotionally.
That would be cool to be able to help people, because I like to think i help people but i may not be too helpful. Hopefully this class will teach me how to be a better person to talk to because I'll understand more on how they feel.

I'm excited for this class.

My expectations for this class are that I'm going to learn about why people do what they do, I want to learn about human behavior.I hope by the end of this class I will have a better understanding of how and why something happens because of something someone did.

What I already know about Psychology is that every one had a brain and that they all work in different ways.
