Perspectives on the IIR Experience
Coming into this course I wanted to focus on a specific part of history, but my tutor inspired me to take a larger view of history and look at the theory surrounding it.
My personal tutor was perfect throughout this entire program. He was very welcoming and understanding through all activities and allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of what Psychology truly entails.
