An overview of previous research on a topic that critically evaluates, classifies, and compares what has already been published on a particular topic. It forms the foundation for the author's subsequent research and justifies the significance of the new investigation.

A very important course which did not only widened my horizon regarding my studies and knowledge but also helped me understand myself and others. I am seriously considering a course on Industrial occupational psychology with my background in Human resource management.

I really enjoyed this course. I was able to understand the lectures, examples and in-videos. (Some of the examples and in-videos reminded me of a show I used to love watching, 'brain games')
The course has favourable learning time with reminders of your progress too.

It was an excellent course; It met my expectation to study Psychology on an introductory level. I would say the content were very comprehensive and one could now choose to take specialization in other things since the course has directives. Over all it was excellent.
