I took this course to help me review for my AP Psychology exam. Professor Bloom went over everything that I had learned throughout my AP Psych course, except more. He covered the details that I originally had trouble understanding perfectly. If it weren't for this class, then I probably wouldn't have end as well on my AP exam.

I really like this instructor. He explained things so well, kept the course interesting, and gave a lot of research information. The course was well outlined and covered a wide variety of topics. I was interested the whole time, I feel like I know how minds work much better, I feel enlightened, and I had a lot of ah ha moments.

Thoroughly enjoyed the lecture series; The instructor has done a brilliant job in curating the content and delivery of the material of every lecture, and the suggested readings and resources are also marvellous. Definitely recommend this to anyone in any field who wants to shed some light on the nature of others and themselves!

I recently had the opportunity to take the "Introduction to Psychology" course, which provided me with a comprehensive understanding of the field of psychology. The course covered a wide range of topics, including the basic concepts, history, research methods, perception, cognition, emotion, personality, and social psychology.

Very good overview into all parts of Psychology. Instructor did a great job at keeping the content in-depth enough to get a reference, but not going too deep into any one area. I would like to see the reviews done after each section though as it was tough keeping track of all of the names of the studies after hearing 10 or so.

Recently I have discovered that for so long in my life I have been lost in taking the wrong major at university that does not align with my job. I should have taken psychology in the first place. I'm so glad to find this course and wo excited to learn about psychology. I hope it is not too late to start learning something new.

This course truly broadened my understanding to not just aspects of clinical psychology but to the simple ideas of emotions and social interactions that we share in our daily lives. Through lectures, videos and readings there is a more profound comprehension of the psychological mindset that is ever crucial in our lives today.

This course was better than I have expected. And the illustrations were really really engaging. Giving a feeling that you are in a class with some other students, even though you know you are not. This course gave me a kick start and inspired me to learn more in psychology. Thanks Paul Bloom, thanks Yale and thanks Coursera!!!

I feel truly content by taking this course. It gives me many insights about myself and other people. And most importantly, the happiness survey results made me surprised. At the beginning of the course, the scores were lower but when I took the test again at the end, it turned out that my happiness level has improved notably.

amazing! Im a hands on/ visual learner and they way Professor Bloom taught really helped me complete this course! my first completed course. I took this to see if i could retain the info to maybe further a carreer in psychology and i feel i did and i look forward to what comes next for me due to this free course i feel good!

Course is excellent. Comprehensive. It covers major aspects in Psychology in an accessible way, with some interesting and surprising things (for me).

I thank you Prof. Bloom, his team and Coursera for making available all this knowledge; it inspired me for more and I am sure it also will others, too.

Wishing you the best,

Carlos

Outstanding course, very informative and educative, cleared a lot of concepts, introduced me to many more interesting new things. Lots of insights into how we think and who we are. To me, this was a logical next after Prof Bloom's course on morality. And Prof Bloom is just brilliant. Such a joy taking up his courses. #winning

I quiet enjoyed this course. Professor Bloom was really engaging as he related scenarios to his own life which added to the visual aspect of information. The animation complimented the lectures as it allowed the student to engage a lot more, rather than sitting through a lecture of just words with no visuals for imagination.

Definitivamente es la manera más sencilla de encontrar pasión por la psicología,por supuesto que recomiendo a cada persona que esté aquí, por que definitivamente es algo con lo que nos encontramos y vivimos en nuestra vida cotidiana,agradezco mucho haber encontrado esta posibilidad que esta al alcance de cualquier persona.

One of the best online courses I've participated in. Dr. Bloom was very clear, pedagogical, and engaging. The covered topics were also interesting and informative. I liked the use of animations in the course. The material introduced were interesting and I learned a lot. I do hope I get more courses which Dr. Bloom teaches.

Not particularly in depth since the themes of psychology were mentioned briefly. This is also probably what makes this course so attractive for online learners. Without needing a strong background in science or psychology, Professor Bloom mentions and explains the broad themes of the field in an interesting and broad manner.

This was an excellent course, very challenging ; however, Professor Bloom did his best to keep us engaged. There was so many new terminologies to process and so many similarities between them. Despite the many twists and turns I was able to pass and left with a better understanding about the many forms of mental disorders.

O curso realmente é muito bom. Aprendi coisas que nunca tinha visto durante minhas faculdades, de biologia e pedagogia. Aprendi a entender melhor o ser humano e a mim mesma. Para quem é da área da educação realmente indico. Estou muito satisfeita, não achei difícil e nem entediante como alguns cursos a distancia que já fiz.

i have gained a better understanding of myself now. I have also learned to observe and be empathetic towards other people. I now know that money isn't everything, you can have it all but lack that "one" thing that makes you happy. I have learned that some brain injuries change our personality like Gage. Thank you very much.

I have always been fascinated with psychology, & completing this course made me feel better prepared for seeking a career in this field. I really liked Professor Bloom. He made the course very interesting, easy to understand, & kept me engaged & looking forward to the next lecture. I appreciate being given this opportunity.

Psychology is a fascinating field that explores the workings of the human mind and behavior. As an interdisciplinary science, psychology draws on insights from biology, sociology, anthropology, philosophy, and other disciplines to study human cognition, emotions, motivation, personality, social behavior, and mental health.

I had an amazing experience with this program. I learned so much about behavioral studies. Professor Bloom was very detailed, informative, and articulated with his lectures. It wasn't complicated to understand. I highly recommend this course if you're interested in a program that is introductory to behavioral sciences!

I loved it. The professor was engaging, I really enjoyed this. I sat and wrote notes in my book as I watched and listened. I know some people were disappointed in the video element, but I didn't mind it at all, I thought it was simple and sweet. 5 stars! I most definitely will be back to do this again for extra absorption!

Well done to Professor Bloom for this captivating and beautiful on line course. I found it well structured, relevant and very pleasant. The rhythm of the course was also great, and I'm sure I'll always remember about this course and its content. The graphics were so good too, made it even more special. Well done again!!!!!

Very engaging and easy to follow for someone who has no background on psychology. It gives a good introduction of different areas of psychology. It uses very nice videos of experiments to illustrate some concepts which I found very useful. I also liked the animation which makes it very visual and easy to memorize/remember.
