This is the first lecture in a series of senior level undergraduate lectures on group dynamics that I created and have been teaching for many years. This lectures introduces the topic of group dynamics and gives great surface level information about the various topics that will be covered throughout the course. We'll explore what it means to be a group and what the different types of groups are. We will also look at what it means to be dynamic and what different elements contribute to the dynamic processes that make our social lives so complex and interesting. This lecture was edited to remove personal information and student questions (I do not have permission from students to include their responses in a published forum).

It was really difficult to hear that you are not getting paid for what you do. Just having gone through a psychology conversion masters. I'd say that the lecture series you produce are probably higher quality than the majority I've come across in actual lectures!! Hope your good work gets rewarded the way it deserves :)

We are researching on learning behaviours in collaborative groups in authentic classrooms using conversational data in an Australian university. It would be great to hear your insights and potentially collaborate.

I'm sorry but I don't have time to track down all the references. You can look for textbooks by forsyth and it should have everything that you need!

I'm glad you're enjoying them! I've always thought how odd it is that there's not more freely available knowledge out there with how many college courses are being taught every day. It's not hard to record a lecture and put it out there for everyone!

Are you asking for a summary page / document? Maybe you could make a google doc and collectively viewers could keep shared notes on their for each lecture?

I'm glad you're enjoying it! Consider checking out the live podcast that we do in the live section of my channel. We get into a lot of these same principles and how they relate to brain processes.
