Psychology:  The Human Experience
Coast Learning Systems

An effective telecourse must not only teach key learning points, it must make them come alive in ways that pique curiosity and provoke deeper thought. This documentary-style, 26-program series used real-life case studies to illustrate the educational material. As a writer-producer on this series, Susan took viewers...

• To U.S. Marine bootcamp to explore how we learn,
• To a kids’ soccer tournament to study emotions,
• To the days of the the Japanese-American internment during WWII in a program on prejudice,
• And on a blind date to discover the principles of social cognition.

The series, one of five she has worked on, is seen on PBS stations across the country, and has won numerous awards including Telly and regional Emmy awards. Other telecourses include:

• Child Development: Stepping Stones
• Dollar$ and Sense: Personal Finance for the 21st Century,
• Intermediate Algebra: Modeling the World
• Mastering the College Experience.
