Course Two · The Complete Micro-Course
The entire introductory psychology canon, rebuilt as 691 numbered videos — each one a single idea, each idea checked against the original studies and standard texts and its source published. Start at the beginning, or start anywhere and follow the numbers back.
How the course works
Most students don’t fail psychology — they fall behind it, one missed prerequisite at a time, until the disorders unit assumes a memory model you never quite locked down. This course is built so the way back is always visible. When something doesn’t click, you don’t rewatch a lecture. You follow the number back.
Three kinds of video: atoms (one definition, mechanism, or finding, about twenty seconds), procedures (one method or technique, shown step by step), and capstones (one worked synthesis that combines what came before). Every claim is checked against the standard text (OpenStax Psychology 2e) and, where a finding has one, its original study — and the full source list is published for anyone to inspect.
The whole map
New videos post daily until the course is complete. Live ones link straight to the short; the rest are on their way.
The receipts
Behind the course sits a reference document in which every empirical claim is traced to its source — the standard text, and, where a finding has a canonical study, the original paper (Pavlov, Skinner, Bandura, Milgram, Asch, Loftus, Ebbinghaus, Ainsworth, and the rest). Where a famous result is disputed in the literature, the video says so in a clause and moves on. I’m a teacher and a builder, not a research specialist in any one field — so the receipts are right there to catch me with. I’d rather be corrected than comfortable.
