Well fine. I skipped some classes to play ball or to do whatever but i did fine anyway. Like i've said before, Baruch classes aren't exactly that deep. What i did get out of my two classes was the terminology and the research to kind of back up social musings and such: About the way people are, how they think and how they react, stuff like that. Social Psych had chapters on friendships, relationships, how people develop over time, the search for worth and happiness. Industrial Psych was more business orientated but had a lot of interesting things that dealt with how groups interact and how leaders emerge. We did a couple of exercises that analyzed the nature of a group's dynamic that made me apply various psychological theories to the social groups that i've been in, whether it's just friends or an organization like Huaren or dance.
