This was a really fun course to take. The content you learn is very interesting and it's a great introduction to psychology. It's a great Gen Ed course to do. I will say it's quite content heavy and you also need to be cool with writing essays, reading/analysing journal articles and doing some experimental design. My only slight criticism is that they don't do live lectures and only give you lecture recordings or videos so there isn't much interaction with the lecturers.

4x 1hr lectures (but only in lecture recordings, not live lectures), 1x 1hr tutorial

Varies (it changes each week since they're exposing you to different fields of psychology)

Psychology: Australia & New Zealand (2nd Edition), by Bernstein et al. 2017 (Cengage Australia)
They offer a student discount to get the online textbook. They say it's not compulsory to buy the textbook but the lecturer can also specify if a specific part in the textbook can appear in the final exam.
