1. Primary Focus: Monday, Friday; Load 40%

Introduction to Psychology — Yale: PSYC 110.

1.1. Acceptance Criteria

Semester thesis by:

• Correlational Research;

• Observational Studies;

• Meta-Analysis.

See project sources for field assignment development.

2. Companion Focus: Tuesday, Thursday; Load 30%

<Audit> — Note: this is a new multi-semester learning trail.

1. This relates to previously completed multi-semester hands-on AI studies (ANN, RNN, LLM)
   (labs 001-107).

2. Leads To:

   • Duke University - Medical Neuroscience. (semesters 3 and 4)

3. Optional:

   • Learning How to Learn: Powerful mental tools to help you master tough subjects. (semester 2)

   • Captain - watch this before you decide on your optional materials!

Note: This ties into a heritability of IQ, a controversial genetic study we’d extensively covered in the past, that explains genetic reshuffle and why two brightest people will have the most average and unremarkable brood. Datasets are available to you at Duke University Research Datalake. More importantly, why one gifted parent and one average parent produce the best genius offspring 25% of the time. Especially prominent in humans when the gifted parent is the mother. Semesters 5-8 cover genetic regression in detail. Especially the biokinetics of recessive traits.

2.1. Acceptance Criteria

ALL/ANY secondary option rolls over to the next semester thereafter.

Reinforcement is accomplished by courseware online quizzing.

Assignment #1 is tested by coding labs — the neural mesh simulation Lab 119[TBD]
produced by your homeschool instructor.
