I taught introductory psychology for the first time several years ago. About 2 months into the semester, I was confidently sailing through the fascinating worlds of research methods, biological foundations, and sensation and perception when a young woman approached me after class with a question: Dr. King, when are we going to get to psychology? Startled, I had no idea what she meant. We've been talking about psychology for the entire semester, I replied cheerily. Her face told me I might just as well have been speaking Greek.
