Do you think these course descriptions match

[peace123]

Hi,

I am looking for unbiased opinions on these two course descriptions.
Please let me know if you think they are a good match. Please note:they both used the same text book.

#1. Course being matched to at a RA college:
This course investigates the biological, psychological, and social components of human motivation and emotion in both classical and contemporary theories. An attempt is made to understand why behavior occurs at all and why one behavior is selected over another.

#2. Course completed at unaccredited religious college:

Course Overview:

This course examines the ‘why’ of human behavior. What motivates people to do what they do? Explanations range from biological predetermination to the concept that humans are masters of their own fate.

This course explores the many dimensions of human motivation and learning. You will explore the various theories, current and historical, to explain the elements of human motivation. This course will also examine some motivational systems such as love, peak performance, and eating. Learning processes and enhancement of learning are also included.

Course Outcomes:

At the end of this course you will have an understanding of:

* Major theories of human motivation
* Components of motivation
* Several motivational systems
* Emotions and motivation
* Applications of motivation
* Human learning
* Enhancement of learning

Sure appears to encompass the same general material but you and I both know that ultimately the decision will be made by the college you are going to be going through.

If you have already registered, get course descriptions and/or syllabi and submit for approval of the one you want.

Hopefully, someone else has already gone where you are trying to go and can give you better advice than this.

Judy,

Thanks for your reply and yes the decision is totally up to the receiving college.
I just wanted some feedback as to the way others see it ,as far as it matching or not matching, as I am to close to be objective.

I guess I was looking for some validation that someone else also thought the course descriptions were similar.

I see many similarities in the courses But I do not see any mention of the biological(Scientific) understanding in the second course described. I am not saying they are not the same I am saying someone looking to point out a difference might note that.

Scratch that I reread the 2nd one it is just said in a different way.
