Course Description

Welcome to our exciting learning community!  Mind Control: Persuasion & Propaganda combines the concepts covered in Psych 1 and Speech 10 by focusing on the topic of persuasion and social influence.  This class is a hands-on practical class that provides an introduction to the theory, basic principles, and methods of psychology and effective oral communication. 

We believe that true learning only occurs when everyone is involved and interested in the material presented.  Our class will consist of a combination of lectures, discussions, group activities, projects, and speeches.  Through constructive feedback, we will all have the opportunity to teach and help each other.  I encourage you to use this course to explore and broaden your world view.
