This course by Prof. Steve Joordens gives a very good insight into psychology. Once you have accustomed to his humor, the classes are very enjoyable and informative. He also did the extra mile and offered additional videos. Thanks to the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation for financing this course.

It is the best and most flexible learning program I have ever tried. The concepts are easy to understand, and after each lecture, additional links are provided so you can expand your knowledge if you want to. I think this is the best part of the program. I would definitely give it a 10 out of 10.

Highly recommended! This course includes many interesting parts in psychology and professor Steve Joordens doesn't make things too difficult too understand.

PS: I would suggest you guys take some notes during the course so that it can help recall something when you are taking mid & final exams).

Excellent course! Steve Joorden is a peach of a man! Look forward to more MOOCs from you, Steve! Very neatly and concisely explained topics. I had absolutely no knowledge before enrolling, so I can vouch for anyone who is interested in applying for this course, but has no prior understanding.

I rate courses very rarely, but this one really stands out. Before, my knowledge about psychology was a big zero and after this course I felt like I discovered a whole new world. Steve does an excellent job and one really feels like going back to the videos again and again. Thank you Steve!
