Beautiful introduction of Psychology from the start to the finish, Life is really how you end. The pain and pleasure is one of my favorite analogies for a healthy perspective,

Professor Bloom is a great presenter.

Definitely give credence to not judging a book by its cover. Mental illness can be subjective.

As the name says, this is an INTRODUCTION to psychology. It will serve as a base for those who intend to set foot in this broad topic. You will gain insight into the various fields of psychology and will be fed with intriguing thoughts which you personally will have to expand by further research or courses. All in all, very saisfying

Thank you very much for designing this course and making it so interesting and making way for further exploration into the subject Psychology. This course gave a very good idea about different aspects of Psychology. I hope I will further pursue and gain more knowledge and put this to use and may be help people who need help. Thank you!

I love the pictorial touch in the explanations.Professor was clear;I did not have issue with accents and the questions made me think.Another thing I love about the course is the fact that a sense of humility was displayed all through.Claims were left opened to debates and further studies.Overall,the lecturer made it easy to understand

This course provided me with a comprehensive accession of knowledge. The lectures and professor's lectureship are perspicuous but not lengthy. Through this course, I now have the basic foundation of psychology and due to that, I have decided to follow my study in this field at University and in my further future and career. Thank you!

Thank you, Dr. Bloom! It is not just a psychology course. I love that you showed the real-world case studies and encouraged us to brainstorm the "hard problem" together. Very inspiring course, thank you and your team. (I love every outfit you have in every different session, the layouts and illustrations are conducive for memorizing.

Wanted to start learning about psychology before going deep into the IO part of it. Reading books did not spark much interest .. but this course did. Very engaging course ... finished in 2-3 days .. learnt a lot, at least my basics have become good I guess. Recommended for those who are just starting out and curious about psychology.

this an wonderful course of fundamental psychology and i learn such hug thinks on this lectures how to handle emotions ,fear and etc this basic course very helpful to learn about deep psychology in future thanks to Yale university providing very useful notes are provided in this lecture presentation aslo nice again thanks to all....

This is a fantastic course and professor Paul Bloom just guides and glides you through it making it very interesting. The course touches upon all important aspects and subjects in psychology and make the subject very interesting.

I want to pursue a specific area in this whole wide subject. Looking forward to some more studying on it

I found this course extremely informative and engaging. The topics are all interesting topics that also help you to understand every day life, and how/why people think the way they do. I particularly liked the mental disorders and genetics module; it helps to give a deeper understanding in to these issues and how they can be treated.

What a course!!!!! If your someone who introspects a lot on all the major issues of life, then haveing a knowlwdge on how we thing and what contributes to it is necessary and helpful in understanding how complex our way of thinking really is. Awesome course and its free, rather than wasting time on instagram..... take this course.

I find the course excellent. Interesting topics and helps you gain some perspectives of the different fields of psychology. The books introduced sound interesting. I would hope to go to some of those later. The presentation format is fresh and focused. I also welcome the occasional humorous touch. Thank you very much for the course!

This is a great intro course to psychology, which kind of accomplish my dream of being a psychology student. The course gives a general structure of modern psychology. Besides that, it gives how it becomes modern psychology. Also, Professor Bloom is so knowledgeable, I wish I can take one of his class at Yale some time in the future

Definitely a great course to learn introductory aspects of psychology and I recommend this course to those who wish to learn basic terms of psychology, how our brain functions, various theories related to pyschology and much more. I would like to thank YALE and Coursera for providing this opportunity of awesome learning experience.

Superb course!

This is my first course at Coursera, I am so lucky and delighted to study with Professor Paul!

His courses are interesting and easy to understand, and I have learnt a lot about psychology and my well-being even increased after finishing this course!!!

I believe that I will recommend this course to my friends! Thank you!

Its a great course overall. But as a student in engineering area. It's hard for me to understand all the things in the first round. And the long reading materials are too long and hard to get my attention. I found myself forget most of the things I learnt from previous week. Maybe I will try to watch the course for the second time.

An absolute must if you have no knowledge or interest in psychology. Very easy to follow, challenging while taking the course because I was evaluating myself. Professor was easy to listen to and the reading materials are the perfect compliment for each mod. I will now pursue, in the back half of my life, a degree in psychology.

¡Muchas gracias!

La información es muy valiosa. Me encantó el curso y todos los temas.

Realmente requiero de más tiempo para estudiar y mejorar la comprensión de todas las lecciones.

Deseo contar con la oportunidad de cursar la carrera o al meos diplomados.

Gracias a todo el equipo por hacer esto posible y compartir sus conocimientos.

I would like to thank the professor for such a structured, optimized course with such extensive information, I have been fond of psychology for many years, and I have found a lot of useful and interesting information here, very good presentation of information with excellent examples, easy and fun, I would like it to be continued.

Though I am a Computer Science Engineering Graduate, I never felt bored on learning this course. It gave me a good idea about Psychology of self and Psychology of groups and the various theories related to that. Very interesting. Instructor is very good in explaining and his presentation is so lively and useful. Thank you so much.

At a time where spare brain power was available this course has provided me with a wonderful opportunity to enhance my learning on a subject I have always been keenly interested in. Paul's pace and style were perfectly suited to my learning preferences and would have no hesitation in recommending this course to others. Thanks Paul

This was the first online course I have taken. I was skeptical at first, but immediately became engaged in what the professor had to say. He made the course engaging and entertaining, and gave information in many ways for whatever works best for you. I definitely recommend it to anyone who is even vaguely interested in psychology.

With all the "social media psychologists" and their shouting terms and advice at people from screens I began to lose faith in psychology as a science. This course helped restore it. Thank you. Quite informative and immensely interesting.

It also helped me to change my perception of some things in life - very refreshing and useful!

Professor Bloom's careful explanation of the science of psychology paired with the animated videos helped to keep me engaged with the lectures. I thoroughly enjoyed this course and highly recommend it for anyone interested in learning more about child development, language, behavior, mental illness, or just psychology as a whole.

Thoroughly thrilled by the course, it was engaging and simple, graspable. Had an amazing experience learning all that was offered in the course while at the same time, it was not too much to become overloaded. Compactly packed course which addressed important issues and concepts of psychology, which I had always pondered to know.
