Typical lessons include a range of activities where students work independently and collaboratively with others. All lessons involve students being an active participant in their learning and retrieval practice is an essential feature of every lesson, e.g. mini white board/ online quizzes. Applied Psychology involves more practical skills, where students will produce a range of written reports based on their independent research in psychological difficulties and after conducting a psychological experiment. In previous years, there have been overseas trips to explore how Psychology can be applied to everyday life, e.g. Auschwitz in Poland and educational conferences at Warwick University and London with influential psychology speakers such as Phillip Zimbardo and Elizabeth Loftus.
