Intro psych and developmental psych are not in that direction, those come in 3rd and 4th year classes where psych actually is VERY interesting.
This was more like, Freud, pavlov's dogs, oedipus, self fulfilling prophecy, human sexuality and influences (which really should be tied more into sociology as well). She was a nut case, we used to play drinking games in class for every time she uttered her catch phrases. 3 hour classes were tolerable then.
EDIT: those other type of classes you are referring to, get more tied into neuroscience, motor learning, motor control etc, which i got to study later. Learning how and why we make executive decision, parts of the brain affected, what happens when we have too much glutamate (neurotoxicity). That class was interesting, seeing despinalized and decerbrated cats running on treadmills.
