About the Course

What are people most afraid of? What do our dreams mean? Are we natural-born racists? What makes us happy? What are the causes and cures of mental illness? This course tries to answer these questions and many others, providing a comprehensive overview of the scientific study of thought and behavior. It explores topics such as perception, communication, learning, memory, decision-making, persuasion, emotions, and social behavior. We will look at how these aspects of the mind develop in children, how they differ across people, how they are wired-up in the brain, and how they break down due to illness and injury....

An excellent course to get a general idea about psychology as well as understanding of what to do next if you are into learning more. Very useful links for extra reading. And very engaging instructor.

A very comprehensive course, giving you the insights into the field of psychology, even with no prior background of psychology, and containing interesting references and examples throughout the course

This course provides a clear, basic overview of psychology, but I wouldn't place it on par with, say, a self-study of AP Psychology.

The course is very well-made, however it's short and very brief. An introduction course in university contains a lot more material

The first part of the course was detailed, concrete and fundamental. But I find the last 3 weeks were too vague and unsystematized

This course helped me understand psychology as a study more but the density of the information in it was hard to handle at times.

I loved the course, but found some animation and sounds to be distracting, and not being able to see the professor less engaging.

As semanas 4 e 5 poderiam ser desdobrar em 2 semanas, especialmente a quinta semana, bastante longa.

De resto, o curso foi ótimo

A very good introduction to psychology. Concepts should have been more clearly compared and contrasted in tables and charts.
