But all of us have tried to understand and predict behavior throughout our lives, first with our parents, then with our peers and teachers, and finally with our friends and co-workers.

This course is well organized with extra information from the University's Opening Learning Initiative, which helps a lot to understand the detail information and background stories. It is a good experience to study with Dr. Anderson D. Smith and Georgia Tech.
