I decided to take psychology class because I really love acting . That might sound strange , but acting is all about trying to understand the character ’ s mindset , what he or she is thinking . Because psychology is a study of people ’ s minds , I thought it would really help me understand different characters . Before the class I thought psychology was only about
studying human minds . But I realized that the course has a lot to do about scientific studies and experiments as well . I didn ’ t expect that I would have to learn about data analysis or how to evaluate research methods . But those things were still interesting for me . If you want to take Psychology , I would highly recommend it to you ! Mrs . Park is a very understanding teacher .
She ’ s generous and kind . She leads the class really well , and she is always willing to help you succeed . The class requires a lot of critical thinking , so there are a lot of in-class debates . If you are into discussion-based classes or listening to other people ’ s perspectives , I would recommend you to take this class .
