I found the 'Behavioral Psychology for Social Control' course to be quite interesting, especially the sections on cognitive biases and heuristics. As a student of psychology, I was looking to expand my knowledge of social influence and control. The course provided a solid introduction to these topics, with some useful examples and illustrations. However, I felt that some of the lectures could have been more in-depth, and the discussions could have been more interactive. Nevertheless, I appreciated the opportunity to learn from the instructor and engage with the course materials. Overall, it was a worthwhile experience that helped me achieve my learning goals.
