the kanye taylor gif in the starting😭😭😭
It doesn't make sense for somebody to be here for an exam. Every psych 101 class is different. You'd be lucky if two of you had the same text book much less the same exam questions.
Last time watched this out of curiosity and fun, this time before my exam 🙂
This is so FUN
I keep getting distracted by how hilarious the Brain Farts are
Nice
The joy upon realizing my professor assigned us Hank Green videos
Excited to learn more 🥰
Step one: Learn you like this subject
Step two: See there is a CrashCourse on it
Step three: See that its Hank Green that is teaching it
(I LOVE HANK GREEN BY THE WAY)
Hello everybody from the Intro to psychology course
Read 'Freud's Traumatic Memory' by Mary Marcel. Freud was sexually abused by his childhood nurse, which explains why he went on to reject 'seduction theory' and instead manufactured the 'Oedipus Complex.' Why this isn't taught alongside all other teachings of Freud leaves one gobsmacked!
Thanks!
Psychology students sould follow each other's account and should be connected to psychologists from different countries or cities . 🤝🏻
Interesting material that I'm excited to learn about.🙂
