This Introduction to Psychology course helps you dive into the basics of psychology. It’s perfect for AP courses or college prep, giving you insights into why we act the way we do. Plus, it has fun videos to supplement your learning!
Finding yourself in the concepts and theories of psychology.
The videos for this “Introduction to Psychology" course are the ideal study tool for AP courses, CLEP:Introductory Psychology test preparation, and any college-level Introductory Psychology course. They cover some of the key issues in the study of psychology, and describe major theoretical frameworks for understanding what it is inside you that makes you do the things you do. Culled from the videos I use in my own courses, they're intended to supplement materials you might have available from your own college (or high school) psychology courses. Additional videos are available at the Social Psychology, Learning, and Personality courses here on Udemy.

The good:
- nice presentation style
- Knowledgeable presenter
The Bad:
- movie clips that hardly relate to the subject matter
- unnecessary, loud and obnoxious sound effects that distract from the subject
- Material has not been updated since 6 or 7 years.
In summary: good for people that watch it and get curious and then find the information on their own.
I like the way the presenter uses different types of media to explain things, however as an introductory course I feel there should be a bit more time spent on each section diving into basic things a bit more. Overall I do recommend this course to new people, as the presenter explains things very well, and again uses this type of presenting method very well.
there is no papers notes the videos are to quick and he just talks ... thats boring
Good course for beginners
Interesting video clips.
Clear explanations of the basics
Voice can be more enthusiastic or energetic; I lost attention sometimes
Loved the examples being used was easy to relate and connect the idea to the video playing.
The course is great. Created in a very "young people" oriented way. A lot of examples from movies and such.
Also the educator tries to explain everything in a as simple as possible way. However this sometimes reduces the information a bit to much.
All in all a great course to learn more on psychology.
Really clearly presented
Informative, well presented and relatively complete.
