Psychology/Physics please?

[Twizz]

Hey guys, I know this is kind of a hard subject to teach (escpecially online) but I REALLY want to learn some psychology and physics.

I took a class for psych in college but they kicked me out for missing too many classes (although I passed them all). Physics has always been an interesting thing to me, and honestly either one would be awesome to learn!

PLEASE someone start a psych/physics class!

(also if anyone knows of an online college/university I can go to to pay and learn this stuff to get a degree, lemme know!)

I second the idea for someone to teach psychology :)

Mm I agree.

Psychology is such an interesting subject =]

Do it to it

You'd be better off going to the library and getting a book you can hold in your hand.

Both subjects are far too deep to explore in this kind of format.

Here's some websites that can help you out:

http://www.physics.org/

http://vlib.org/Physics

http://www.psychology.org/

My own spiritual path actually started out as an interest in physics. (Unified field theory)

My spiritual path, yoga, has given me great understanding of how the human mind works.

The result was metaphysics.

I'm an online psychologist,
ask me anything.

I was into physics but the lecturer was a nazi, so I decided to do psychology and philosophy instead. So you can ask me about physics too, but my physics is not as far developed as my psychology. But its good enough to write software about gravity (see my other thread in this forum).

i agree, its too indepth to disperse that amount of info on a forum.
but it'd be good if someone would do that!!

Just a word of advice for anyone wishing to begin learning psychology: There are two main perspectives from which psychology is approached and knowing which perspective you are studying is important. The approach that most psychologists adhere to is the Standard Social Science Model or SSSM. The fundamental tenets of this approach are as follows: 1) People are born as blank slates with no prior knowledge of the world. 2) There are no biological limits to behavior and as a result behavior is infinitely malleable. 3) Learning occurs through socialization and indoctrination. 4) Culture is an autonomous force. 5) Learning processes are general, not specific, meaning that the processes that underlie mate selection, for example, are the same processes that underlie food selection. The opposing view, and the one to which I personally adhere, is the evolutionary perspective. Evolutionary psychologists reject all of the tenets of the SSSM. It is the belief of evolutionary psychologists that the human brain is composed of innate mental modules which were shaped by the process of natural selection to interpret domain specific information and to generate environmentally appropriate responses during our species evolutionary past. When you are learning the introductory aspects of psychology these distinctions are not so important, but as you progress into the overarching theories underlying psychology it will be necessary to understand what adherents of each approach are saying.

I'd love a physics class, even though I'm only in late 9'th grade.
