<p>Hi, Both Psych 160 and Soc 150 are course titled “social psychology.”
I’m interested in taking one of these classes purely out of curiosity for the subject, but I’m confused as to what the difference between the two courses are.
Can anyone offer any insight?
Thanks!</p>

<p>the theme of both classes are “social psychology” but it seems like they address at different aspects, at least according to the wording in the catalog.</p>

<p>here’s an old syllabus for psych 160 <a href=“http://psychology.berkeley.edu/trc/syllabi/syllabus_psych160_Fa05.pdf[/url]”>http://psychology.berkeley.edu/trc/syllabi/syllabus_psych160_Fa05.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>i couldnt find an old syllabus for sociology 150, sorry.</p>
