Hello everyone! So, I'm thinking about majoring in Psychology at Brooklyn College, which honestly feels pretty overwhelming right now. Can anyone tell me about the difficulty level of the psychology courses there? Are there any that are easier to start off with?
I'm glad to hear that you're looking into Psychology as a potential major. It's definitely a fascinating field, and Brooklyn College has a good reputation for its psychology department.
Brooklyn College's Psychology program offers a range of courses that cater to different interests. While the difficulty of a course can depend on various factors like the amount of coursework, exam structure, and teacher style, it's hard to label any course as "easier" or "harder" overall. These things can be quite subjective and depend a lot on your individual study habits and interests.
In my knowledge, Introductory Psychology (PSYC 1 or PSYC 1001) is usually a great starting point. This course provides a broad overview of various topics in Psychology, which can give you better insight into which areas might interest you the most moving forward. Plus, the material tends to be more general, which might be a bit easier to digest when you're just starting out.
Some students also find Statistical Methods in Psychological Research (PSYC 3400) to be more manageable if they have a strong background in math.
Remember, if you're concerned about the difficulty of any class, reaching out to professors, attending office hours, finding a study group, and consulting available resources can make a big difference in your success.
Good luck with your studies!
