Concepts were explained in an easy enough way to understand. Great examples were listed. Pace was good.

1.I would like to have some resources, it's easier to have it in PDF Form. It will help the students to practice I/O Psychology in real Life. It would be useful. 2. I would like to learn more about the instructor! What does she done? What is her experiences in real situations, how does she applied the theoretical courses in real situations. I am trying to be I/O and I will need her help. thanks.

This helps me understand how I/O works within our organization and understand how to deal with internal psychology and team's mindset.

By Marie Janssen Domingo on 11/22/2024

Could have been very informative but the presentation is less than ideal and some lingos/ jargons used are not meant for those without Psychology background, especially, that it is specified that there is no prerequisite to this course. It seems like a hodge- podge of different presentations. It would have been helpful if the psychological concepts are linked well to workplace situations and the implications/ impacts these may have on workplace practices.

Taking the I/O Psychology course through Udemy has been an enlightening experience, providing me with valuable insights into human behaviors and leadership dynamics within the workplace. The course deepened my understanding of the psychological factors that influence how our employees work and interact with one another.

Section 7 has been pretty interesting, but there are many errors like typos and oddly mispronounced words. Makes me question how much proofing and work was put into this and if I may not be able to fully trust the course.

By Tanvi Valawalkar on 7/15/2023

Since I’m able to grasp the knowledge since the videos are slow and easy to understand.

By Arundhati Sarkar on 5/31/2023

It was awesome and explained in simple terms and a lot to learn from here which will be required in the long run. Overall this course was really helpful

By Upendra Joshi on 5/9/2023

It is informative , however the background music is quite distractive & the course facilitator can sound more natural & engaging . Very Basic Info . Good course for a beginner but not for seasoned professional

By Isha Khandelwal on 12/6/2022

This course has helped me understand a lot about I/O Psychology. I am sure this is going to help me in the future when i decide to take up this field as a career option.
