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....

This course is much more than that I thought of a mere Psychology class.

All the fundamentals are explained well enough and overall I believe I made the right decision to join this course.

The more we look at the human brain and how it works from a serious scientific point of view, the more we appreciate its complexity, its uniqueness and its beauty. And I can't agree more.

A lot of abundant content and useful materials. Great and well-articulated concepts. It'd be even better if more real-live examples or daily examples are used to illustrate the concepts.
