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.

Loved the way course is formatted. Professor was engaging, but listening to the same voice in every lecture is kind of boring. additionally, Subtitles need to be improved in some places.

It is incredible how psychology can resurrect your brain and arouse once more your curiosity about life. Psychology is, of my own words, the most unbiased and passionate science of all.

Very informative video lectures, not tiring at all, exactly the opposite. Grounded on current research and many relevant fields in the area, not just the clinical or mental-health ones.
