Introduction to Psychology by Toronto University, Canada
About this Course
This course will highlight the most interesting experiments within the field of psychology, discussing the implications of those studies for our understanding of the human mind and human behavior. We will explore the brain and some of the cognitive abilities it supports like memory, learning, attention, perception and consciousness. We will examine human development – both in terms of growing up and growing old – and will discuss the manner in which the behavior of others affect our own thoughts and behavior. Finally we will discuss various forms of mental illness and the treatments that are used to help those who suffer from them.
The fact of the matter is that humans routinely do amazing things without appreciating how interesting they are. However, we are also routinely influenced by people and events without always being aware of those influences. By the end of this course you will have gained a much better understanding and appreciation of who you are and how you work. And I can guarantee you that you’ll learn things that you’ll be telling your friends and family about, things that will fundamentally change the way you think of yourself and others. How can you resist that?!
I am a business management student. But I am really interested in psychology. I wanna understand others’ people mind and their feelings. As I am not very emotional, I can’t understand some of my friends when they cry cause of little problem as for me. My mom always told me that I was not good at reading people’s faces. Thus, I really wanna try learning psychology and understanding them. I am sure it will also help me in my everyday lifestyle as I am a student of business management field.
I would love to attend this course. I am graduated with Health Studies. So I do have background knowledge of psychology field. I have always excited to study this course because in my final year in degree time, I had depression due to my family problem. I cannot express that feeling properly in that time but I know I am not being myself in that hole time. I was crying and cannot even talk to other people. However, because of my closes ones I feel better and passed that difficult times. Since, my interest on studying psychology becomes growing.
Thus, I am looking forward to attend this course.
