Mid-Term & Final will be based on conceptual applications out of your learning from

If you are hoping to get an easy ‘A’ without grueling work; then I would
recommend you to de-enroll today as it is not going to happen.
Give me a dozen healthy infants, well-formed, and my own specified world to bring them up in and I’ll guarantee to take any one at random and train him to become any type of specialist I might select --doctor, lawyer, artist, merchant-chief and, yes, even beggar-man and thief, regardless of his talents,
penchants, tendencies, abilities, vocations, and race of his ancestors.--John Watson, 1930
B.F. Skinner, renowned radical behavioralist published his book Beyond Freedom and Dignity in 1971,where he argues that free will is an illusion, thus challenging major bedrock of Western philosophical thought. Of course, this optimism is vehemently challenged by evolutionary psychologists, who posit most of human behavior is genetically wired & pre-determined because of centuries of evolution .
