Prof. Dr. Derik Lindquist's way of teaching different aspects of psychology helped a lot The example based teaching gave me real-world explanation of psychological theories. Whereas, the quizzes and assessments helped me confirm my learnings after every module. Overall , it was a very fruitful course to complete before the actual degree course classes start for B.Sc. in Psychology.

I wanted to study psychology at the University but I opted for Computer Science in the end. So more than a case of curiosity, this was a very course I wanted to take to just see what it was about and I very glad I did. The professor does very well to explain basic psychology concepts and this has rekindled my interest in psychology.
