I’m starting at Front Range Community College this fall and was wondering if anyone has taken General Psychology I and General Psychology II during the same semester.
Before commenting —
*I have asked both an advisor and the psychology department. I am specifically looking for students who have done this.
A little background about me: I was a psychology major about 20 years ago and completed 15+ psychology courses before life took me in a different direction. I’m returning to school now to finish my degree and eventually transfer to CSU.
I’m planning to take both courses regardless because I like that psychology programs have begun dividing introductory psychology into two courses. It seems to allow much more time and attention to be devoted to the different areas within psychology, rather than trying to cover everything in a single semester.
I’m not taking these because I think they’ll be “easy.” I’m actually looking for a refresher since psychology has advanced quite a bit over the past two decades.
I have strong reading comprehension and writing skills, so I’m not too concerned about the workload. I’m more curious whether the material builds on itself in a way that makes taking both together difficult, or if they complement each other well.
If you’ve taken both at FRCC, especially in the same semester, I’d love to hear your experience. Would you recommend it?
Thank you!!
