Course Stories, Season 3, Episode #6: Psyched About Student Success, PSY338 & PSY340

In this episode of Course Stories, we delve into emotional intelligence and the psychology of academic success, two unique courses aimed at dismantling a deficit view of emotions and equipping students with strategies that enable their academic success.
