summer,
No matter whether you are working this summer, traveling, or just
sitting around the house—you can get 5 psychology credits from
the University of California Extension at the same time, to put you
that much closer to your degree.
You study when you want to study. There are no classes to attend.
It’s actually a good deal less expensive than many courses you take
on campus. And you get everything you need to complete the course
(including programmed learning materials and the best text available
today) for one low fee.
The University of California extension and the pub
lishers of Psychology Today magazine invite you to
add 5 college credits to your accomplishments this
summer.
Thanks to an entirely new system of pro
grammed learning developed specifically for this
new course, you'll be able to use part of your spare
time this summer to accelerate your progress to1
wards a degree . . without interfering with your va
cation plans. You should, in fact be able to earn
a full year's credit in introductory psychology in
just sixteen weeks.
A class of one.
Part of the reason why you can learn so much
faster with this course is the extremely small size
of your class — just you alone. All the materials
in the course are intended for your use. All the
lectures are directed squarely at you. The class
moves along at a pace that you select, so you are
not likely to get bored . . . or feel that you have been
forced to move ahead before you have thoroughly
mastered every important piece of information.
An endlessly fascinating subject.
Part of the reason you will enjoy learning with
this course is the nature of the subject matter. What
is more intriguing than the hidden nature and
surprising motivations of people (including your
self)? What is "love.” and what is "hate”? How
does intelligence develop? Is anyone really "nor
mal”? How are deep personality disorders first re
vealed? What are some of the subtle techniques
some people use to manipulate others? These are
very basic, very important questions you can really
dig into . . they are going to make a difference in
your own life Beyond the fact that psychology is re
quired by most colleges for most degrees, it's also a
subject you want to know more about—and wanting
makes learning easier.
Speed-learning techniques.
All the materials in your INDEPENDENT STUDY
PROGRAM have been programmed and arranged
according to the very latest discoveries in acceler
ated learning The subject matter is divided into
relatively brief segments that can be mastered
without prolonged periods of study You check
yourself as you proceed, and when vou haven't
quite grasped something, you are given specific
instructions on ways to get on top of it. Phono
graph records and a richly illustrated text are inte
grated fully into the program, giving it an important
extra dimension of reality that is so often lacking
in course work. You not only learn fast, you learn
deeply.
Alt you need to ■ pencil and a brain.
This course is completely self-contained. All
the materials you need are provided. It goes where
you go . . . you can call your class into session any
place and at any time of the day or night. The text
you get is the very latest edition of Psychology To
day: An Introduction, whose combination of scien
tific thoroughness and exciting graphics has made
it the top selling psychology textbook of the1970's
Four LP phonograph recordings bring the sound
and realities of man's new psychological knowledge
directly to you. And you receive eight programmed
learning booklets, each one taking you through c
separate major part of the subject. These individual
units include:
Human development
Memory and problem solving
Learning
Perception
Emotion and motivation
Personality
Social psychology
Behavior disorders and therapy
The profeeeorial computer.
Throughout your involvement with this program,
you'll receive far more personalized attention than
you would probably receive in most campus class
rooms. The key to this personalized attention is a
specially designed computer program that guides
you as you proceed from one unit of the course to
the next. At the close of each unit, you send in a
unit test, which the computer proceeds to correct
in a most unusual manner. Instead of merely tell
ing you when you have answered certain questions
right or wrong, the computer will send you a de
tailed printout telling you how you can improve your
knowledge specifically in areas where you might be
somewhat uncertain. It is just like having a profes
sor at your disposal, for you and you alone.
You pay hall.
At many universities and colleges today, a
course like the one we have just described could
cost you as much as $200, just for the credits And
your text and other course materials would run the
cost up even more. But you pay only half of that
sum — just $100 — to get 5 credits from a top uni
versity . . and the text and other materials (includ
ing 4 LP's) are included in that fee
Sand for more Information.
We've prepared a booklet that will tell and
show you a great deal more about this revolution
ary new course than we have space to do here.
Send for it today, by filling in and mailing the cou
pon below today There's no obligation to enroll.
Don't delay—summer is going to be here very soon
indeed.
