I've always wanted to learn the basics of psychology ever since I got into middle school. It somehow intrigued me. Learning the nature of human behavior and the essence of human thoughts was always one of my goals. Yesterday, while I was surfing through www.open2study.com (A website that provides free on line courses from various universities in Australia), I found this course called 'Foundations of Psychology' and immediately enrolled for it. I then typed a CAS proposal, as that is the first step to carry out a CAS experience. Today morning, I took my proposal the CAS coordinator and the DPC to get the approval. Much to my happiness, both of them liked the idea of doing an on line course and signed the proposal. As soon as I came home, I logged in and began with the first module. The course comprises of 4 modules, out of which each contains around 10 videos, 10 quizzes and one final assessment. Since the course officially began on the 21st of March, I had to catch up with my classes. So I finished module 1 at a stretch in 2 hours today. I learnt about the mind-body relations discovered by different scientists, the different perspectives of psychology, and the building blocks of the nervous system. However, it didn't seem stressful at all. It was very interesting and fascinating. Each assessment has 3 attempts. I got 60% in the first 2 attempts and managed to score 100% in the third one!Duration : 3 hours
