Methodological skills are imparted in the fields of Statistics, Theory of Tests and Clinical Diagnostics.

The third year of the study program introduces a mandatory elective study program, enabling students to specialize according to their interests. In addition to a practical training in a vocational field and the Bachelor's Degree, it includes classical vocational fields of psychology (i.e. personnel selection, learning support, misguided development) as well as newly emerging fields (i.e. neuro-science, media-supported learning). Also, three out of nine mandatory elective courses must be chosen.The greatest plus of this University is that Gießen professors included the gestalt psychologist Kurt Koffka. Weil talking about Mykolas Romeris University, it is almost the same as Germany University, because the program in psychology is very similar to Justus Liebig- Giessen University. Duration of the course of study is 4 years. These 4 years of our study program include: logics, philosophy, language of speciality, foreign language, introduction to psychology, human anatomy, communication skills training, mathematical statistics,sensation and perception, history of psycholgy, theories of personality, political science, attention, memory and learning, psychophisiological measurements, academic skills, introduction to sociology, social psychology and other great psycholgy subjects.

Most people are quite clear about what happiness is, and can easily describe how happy or not they are. Most people also consider happiness their most important goal in life. Happiness definitely rules!We live in a world where everyone is "chasing" happiness. Everyone is"looking” for happiness.We think that we will be happy when we get the latest car or a bigger house.Some of us think we will be happy next year when we take our vacation.Here is what I have learnt: Happiness Is A Choice.That’s right; you can choose to be happy. In any instant you can CHOOSE to be happy. You can change your focus from what is wrong in the world to what is right in your life.So anytime you feel your emotional sniffles coming on, do something that makes you happy. Think happy thoughts. Call a long lost friend. Spend time with loved ones.Or go online and read about the happiest nations such as Denmark, Switzerland, Austria, Iceland and Finland. Do anything that makes you happy.
P.S. You can take psychologist Ed Diener's test to find out how happy you are.

NAME Živilė SURNAME Baracevičiūtė GROUP psbd8-01
- WRITING A SUMMARY is not as hard as I thought first. You should clearly understand the writer's major point (or purpose) for writing and begin your summary. I found it very useful. I learned how to compress a text, moreover, how to paraphrase the main ideas .
- WRITING COMPREHENSION TESTS ON MODULES IN PSYCHOLOGY was very challenging. It took so much time to learn terminology of psychology, to understand all modules, but it is important to learn all terms, I need to know specific words, specific information, in order to keep up with my future job.
- MAKING POWER POINT PRESENTATIONS was very exiting practice, because it was both creative and scientific work. I took delight in all presentations. Also it was very effective way to learn ESP. I learned clarity in speech and phrasing, linking and control language, timing interventions , handling and asking guestions.
- IMPROMPTU SPEAKING IN CLASS improved my speaking skills. However the most powerful benefit is the improvement in my general confidence and self image. This affects much more than speaking skills.
- PERFORMANCE IN LISTENING PRACTICE was troublesome. Nothing has resulted from my efforts. The main reason for my bad performance in listening activities is lack of practice.
