Introductory Psychology Course Video Lectures

With the lingering impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and rainy season of the Greater Vancouver Area, some students have to miss classes from time to time. 

I was thinking about making and sharing a video recording of my in-person classes. However, if you are going to watch a video, it would make more sense for you to watch a more well-known person in the field of psychology than me to talk about psychology. 

Fortunately, the good folks at Massachusetts Institute of Technology have made online psychology courses available to the general public.   

Here are the videos. You may also want to go to their website to find the transcripts of the lectures and read them multiple times, to master the key concepts and contents.
