I have now completed my 4 week courses in the Foundations of Psychology and The Art of Photography.
I have also passed both courses!
I have also passed both courses!
Foundations of Psychology
I undertook the Foundations of Psychology in order to provide myself an introductory overview of the field of psychology and to bring order to all of the Psychology literature I have been reading for a decade now, as it is a subject that greatly interests me both from an academic point of view, but also in regards to day-to-day application.
I found the Open2Study course to be a very concise introduction that coherently broke down and explained the fundamental principles of the academic field and of human psychology. Overall, it did exactly what I need to the course to do and I can now approach psychology from a foundation approach from here on out.

Finally, Foundations of Psychology is a prime course to undertake if you are considering studying Psychology over a more prolonged period, as this course will allow you to test the psychology waters and see if you can handle the more laborious and technical aspects.
The Art of Photography
This has been a course I have been meaning to enrol myself in for some time now, as the competent use of a Single Lens Reflex camera is something I have never really mastered; mainly because I have never allocated the time. This knowledge is paramount now that I am engaging myself more and more so in filmmaking and the SLR is the best weapon of choice. A colleague and myself have already experienced many problems with the use of a SLR in a project we filmed last summer and it is not something I am prepared to go through again!
Did this course breakdown and supply the technical knowledge I needed?
Yes.
And it supplied a great deal more as well.
Having already undertaken a photography course previously and being something of a digital photographer anyway, the theoretical and artistic considerations of photographic practice are something I have already mastered. Therefore, it was very refreshing to see that this course covered those areas of photography in addition to the technical how-tos of actually successfully using your camera.

Ultimately, I would recommend the The Art of Photography short course to anyone who is interested in gaining an introduction to the discipline of photography and wishes to become an active photographer through the course of doing so.
