Thanks to Dr. Bloom and everyone else in Coursera who gave me this opportunity to study across the world, I really need that. The descriptions were clear and easily understood which had been confusing for me at the university in the first place. I hope I can use this knowledge and continue forward...

Extremely engaging. Learn way more than I thought. Advise this course to anyone who have an interest in psychology or is on college and needs a different insight.
And doing the course on my own rhythm, pausing and retreat videos whenever I needed was a great experience. This is the future of learning.

This is the first time I have used Coursera for online courses. It is different from the online courses I studied before, which videos are more interesting and impressive.
Psychology is a really fascinating subject, and this course is very suitable as the beginning of psychology learning. Thank you!

Wow! this is an incredible journey, not only did i learn a lot about the brain and how it affects the mood, the personality and overall way of perceiving things that happen and have happened, but to also be more aware about the psychology of happiness, which came in from the last part of the course.

I really enjoyed the course and the speaker had a great voice. What I really liked was how he would provide examples of what he was talking about to make it more relatable and easier to understand . I learned lots and now I'm taking Social Psychology because the Intro was so interesting. Thank you!

I loved this course, turns out Paul and I had a lot of similarities and I liked the way he instructed the course slow and with a good amount of detail, examples of videos or graphs as needed. I would give an extra star for the love of batman. Thank you, and keep fighting psychological crime.
Cheers.

Great introduction to a wide variety of topics. I initially thought the animation would detract from the content, however, it actually added value in the form of increased and longer attention to the lectures.
Wish the course had been longer, allowing for a more in-depth look at many of the topics.

It was an honor being one of the students who took this course. It helped me in different ways. I am being able to think a lot more before I speak, I am understanding people more. I am happier with my life and I want to know more and more about psychology. Let’s not forget to thank Dr. Paul Bloom.

Exceptional survey of the basic principles of psychology. The course includes excellent readings which anyone taking the course should read to solidify the topics discussed. The presentation is animated which concerned me initially but I found that it was easy to follow and kept my attention well.

Really amazing, the things i learned in social psychology has opened a completely new field for me. Before this i had some understanding but now i trust completely that for me to make sense of sociology, otherwise i would think of it as a shallow field and all about society( Alexander Supertramp).

Great range of concepts provided with enough depth even for an introductory course, lots of helpful real-life examples used for the topics introduced. Lovely animation style which made the course very easy to follow (definitely better than a passive PowerPoint slide presentation with voice-over)!
