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....

The lectures were very fun, engaging, and interactive. Taking this course gives you a deeper understanding of life and helps answer questions we have about ourselves, others, and the world we live in.

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.

The course is quite informative and well structured. The additional material provided is also interesting to read. The reason for 3 star is that it's just an overview of all the core stuff, you'll have to dig deeper by yourself to even get a basic understanding.

A quick and easy introduction to the most relevant aspects of psychology. The strongest point is that the videos are short and very entertaining. The weak point is that the course is an overview of psychology and may you leave wanting more.

Reading materials are of quality and awesome! However, the course videos can be quite boring as it was delivered monotonously and for a Psychology beginner, there're plenty of terms to remember which makes the content very dry!

Interesting topics, but low quality video with distracting animations, issues with audio getting stuck, poorly estimated time of reading (e.g. 6 long articles estimated to take 10 mins). Overall: not recommended.

Not bad, a lot of interesting things. But - no system, no specific way, just few words about anything, and they not realy related with each others. But not bad.

The animations, cartoons, and sound effects are extremely unnecessary and annoying. The speaker should have talked in a louder tone.

I would rather watch his old course uploaded on youtube. That is way more engaging even when the presentation is not visible.
