COURSE INTRO

Course Introduction 01

As a discipline that explores the mysteries and driving forces of the human mind, psychology has many topics worth exploring. Perhaps you want to know how negative emotions are generated and learn effective self-regulation methods; perhaps you want to discover suitable memory methods to improve learning efficiency; perhaps you want to master the skills of comfortable and effective communication with others, thereby promoting cooperation with others. In the future, the development of artificial intelligence will replace a large number of jobs, bringing even more earth-shaking changes, and at the same time, humans need to take care of their inner selves to deal with infinite changes and uncertainties.

The Introduction to Psychology by FusionX will lead you to master core knowledge of psychology such as cognition and neuroscience, social psychology, developmental psychology, clinical and applied psychology and deeply explore a sub-field of psychology based on the expertise of the instructor. Through case studies, experiments, and group discussions, you will further develop literature reading skills, experiment design thinking, and data analysis methods by discussing specific issues of current social concern. Ultimately, you will be able to apply the knowledge of psychology you have learned to solve emotional, mental health, and interpersonal relationship problems in your own or others' lives in different scenarios.

"What XA has brought to me, the improvement of CS literacy goes without saying, but what I am more grateful for is being able to meet the top and most outstanding peers of my age. I have seen living MIT, CIT students, consulted TAs who can do nothing but debug, and also gained a bunch of board game friends. Perhaps saying that my dream is to change the world will be laughed at by people, but XA has given me the confidence to turn my dreams into reality."

This road is long, and the places to go are filled with poetry and ideals. The tears and sweat left behind yesterday make me more tenacious and courageous now. This is what XA has taught me: we can always be a little braver."
