Education Guardian. What will I learn?
Psychology is the study of the human mind to better understand how andwhy people act the way they do. So, you might find yourself investigating how people become anorexic, how seemingly calm people turn violent, or why people prefer chocolate to sex (at least sometimes). You'll look at the way the brain perceives and uses information, and how these processes change as you get older.
Your first year should provide a general grounding in general psychology, which will introduce you to the wonderful world of psychological statistics (maths GCSE is a must, but you don't need A-level, so you can relax). From there you will look at child development, cognitive psychology, personality, memory, emotion and motivation, and modules that look at the social psychology of individuals and groups. Some applied psychology programmes will give you the chance to spend a year working with a chartered psychologist, perhaps in healthcare or education. What skills will I gain?

October 2005 (This essay is derived from a talk at the 2005 Startup School.)
How do you get good ideas for startups? That's probably the number one question people ask me. I'd like to reply with another question: why do people think it's hard to come up with ideas for startups? That might seem a stupid thing to ask. Well, maybe not. I think this is often the case. I also have a theory about why people think this. If coming up with an idea for a startup equals coming up with a million dollar idea, then of course it's going to seem hard. Actually, startup ideas are not million dollar ideas, and here's an experiment you can try to prove it: just try to sell one.
Questions The fact is, most startups end up nothing like the initial idea. The initial idea is just a starting point-- not a blueprint, but a question. There's a real difference, because an assertion provokes objections in a way a question doesn't. A question doesn't seem so challenging. Upwind Doodling What happens in that shower? Notes. "The Washington Monthly College Guide " by The Editors. This month, U.S.
News & World Report releases its annual rankings of colleges. First published in 1983, the guide has become its own mini-event: College presidents, education reporters, alumni, parents, and high school juniors alike all scramble to get their hands on the rankings. Its release is followed by weeks of gloating from the top-ranked schools and grumbling from those schools that dropped a slot (or 14) from the previous year. Inspired by the popularity, other guides—from Princeton Review to Peterson's to Kaplan—have rushed to compete. College rankings are now so influential that universities and higher-education journals hold regular chin-stroking sessions about whether the numbers-game has too much influence over the way schools behave. There's a good reason for the American fixation with rankings—if done correctly, they can help tell us what's working and what's not.
Iowa State beats Princeton The first question we asked was, what does America need from its universities?
