Hi guys! I hope you're having a day. In this post, I am going to talk about my experiences and summary of a course which I took from coursera that is a well-known online learning platform.
We have been already taken 'Introduction to Psychology course this semester, and I decided to take it from another professor to compare the differences in curriculum and teaching styles.
First of all, I would like to mention the features of the platform that has a really cool design and push students to study.
It is easy to use, and you can arrange a weekly goal to finish the lessons more effectively and rapidly. Also, it has different language subtitles options including the Turkish language.
As I said in the beginning, I took 'Introduction to Psychology' course that is given by Paul Bloom from Yale University.
Mostly, the curriculum was a bit different than what we have learned during the semester. I studied the development part of the course.
It was beneficial to learn about foundational psychological theories and findings in psychology. I started with the discovery that our mental lives have a physical basis, introducing the field of neuroscience that I want to study in the future also. And then, It learned about two major psychological theories that have come to shape the world that we now live in (Freud’s psychodynamic theory and Skinner’s theory of behaviorism).
The course was supported not just videos of the lecture, but also some reading related to the content and videos of experiments.
At the end of each week, you should take some quizzes in order to measure if you understand or not. If you take the targeted grades, you can take a certificate of course.
If you don't have a paper to take notes on, the cool features of Coursera will help you to overcome. You can follow the lecture from its written format while watching it at the corner of the page, and you can add your thoughts at your notes.
At below, I prepared a presentation of what I learned from the course. Have fun!
Also, you should have a look at those videos that have relations with what I learned.
