I don't know what Psych 101 is, but a quick search tells me that it seems to be some sort of compulsory psychology course at American universities (is this correct?). As far as I can tell, in an American university, there's the main focus of the course (major?) and then quite a number of compulsory unrelated courses. At a British university, the major is all there is. I study English Language and Literature, so every one of my courses is related either to the English language or to literature; there's no maths, no psychology, et cetera. A British university student is educated in a much narrower range of subjects.
So now you know! (Typing that was actually a bit embarrassing. IT SOUNDS LIKE WE ARE SO UNEDUCATED.)
I'd heard of the Milgram experiment, but perhaps that was just because a friend of mine took Psychology at secondary school. I'd thought it was more commonly known than it apparently is.
