Format

Each class will be based around an article from the popular blog 'Barking Up The Wrong Tree' (pre-reading will be helpful but not essential). We will discuss the main ideas from each article and whether we agree or disagree with them. I will teach you about relevant psychological studies in the area, and we'll talk about how the ideas discussed relate to current news and events.

Kaidy is a wonderful teacher! He's very good at guiding us to think differently and individual opinions in related topics. He would also tell us about some psychology theories and historical development, overall i've enjoyed his classes :)

Kaidy is a well-prepared and agreeable instructor. The topics he chosed are relevant and resonating. I enjoyed the discussion every week and learned a lot from it. I highly recommend Kaidy to those who have interest in psychology or have curiosity about human behavior.

If you want to challenge yourself or maybe someone else, come to this class. We did a lot of discussion about psychology. The questions discussed in the class were quite down-to-earth but difficult. It was a challenge for me. Thank you, Mr. Kaidy and my open-minded classmates. 😁

Kaidy is a patient teacher with good listening skills and good at encouraging students to share their ideas. The reading materials are helpful and interesting too. Very inspiring!

Highly recommend!! Topics Kaidy chooses are closed to our daily life with some interesting phycological facts such as how to persuade people, how to achieve your goals, the definition of happiness. Kaidy organizes and leads classes very well. From small group sharing to whole class discussion, step by step digging into questions, students have enough chances to practice speaking. It’s a comfort to have Kaidy’s class at Saturday after 5 working days!

Kaidy is a very kind, patient and open minded person so you wouldn’t feel nervous or uncomfortable when talking or expressing your ideas to him. The class always goes smoothly and in a very structured way, if you’re a logical thinker you would love this. Given his academic background, it’s needless to say how professional he is in this area. Since this is a psychological class, be prepared to express your feelings (doesn’t have to be anything too personal) and thoughts a lot. Overall I highly recommend this class to anyone who’s either interested in psychology or behaviour economics. Or just anyone who would like to explore/learn more about himself/herself. This is a riveting class to take and probably the best I’ve taken in the past 5 years.

MDT 特色之一是 老師不太會打斷學生發言，這樣也沒有不好。 不過我會建議MDT 可以落實分級，因為如果這是訂在高級的課程 同學程度如果明顯不到，這樣其實其他人被迫要聽很多 中式英語，覺得對學習沒有太大幫助。
