PSY 101 - Intro to Psychology Course Preview

Concordia is giving you the option to ‘test drive’ a version of one of our online courses in Psychology. We are offering free enrollment in a 3-unit online Psychology course to let you try out our online learning platform before you apply to one of our programs. Even if Psychology is not your program, the course will let you preview online learning. In the test drive mini course: You skip the normal admission process to give you quick access to the course No transcripts are needed No payment is needed (the test drive course is free) You don’t need to set-up your Concordia email account There are no scheduled login times. Learners may login when it is convenient - late at night, after the kids are in bed, before work or during your lunch break. Lectures/Lessons: Lectures are usually pre-recorded videos, PowerPoints, or video chat sessions which can be viewed at your convenience. Quizzes: Each unit in the mini course includes a multiple-choice quiz on the assigned reading. You will see your score on the quiz immediately after you complete the quiz. What you DON’T get in the test drive that you DO get in a regular course: Support from a live human instructor. All of our regular online courses use highly qualified professors who are always available by email or a scheduled Zoom video chat to answer questions and to guide you through the course. The experience to upload written assignments. Most of our online courses require papers to be submitted to demonstrate your understanding of a topic. Participation in discussion boards. We don’t want online learning to be an isolated experience. Most of our online courses use discussion boards allowing learners to interact with each other and with the instructor. Research Papers, Exams or Projects: Most of our other online courses will ask you to demonstrate what you have learned through a course project or research paper or essay exam.
