Description

Should I study this GENED course or that one? Is this textbook a better buy than that one? Should I get a job or continue studying? We are all faced with a perplexing array of decisions everyday; fortunately psychological research can tell us a great deal about the way in which we make decisions, and suggest ways to improve our decisions. This course provides a broad introduction to the psychology of judgment and decision-making, linking everyday problems with key research findings in an entertaining and accessible way. The aims of the course are to introduce you to this exciting field, and to help you improve your own decision-making skills.
