This course will give students a brief overview of what psychology is really about and how it will help in their daily life and how to approach their daily life.

The modules are really interesting to follow through and the follow-up readings are really helpful to further aid the understanding of the modules discussed.

Excellent introduction to Psychology all the way through. The week on Positive Psychology was a little bare bones - good references here is the work by the RCSI in Dublin , Ireland and the research done by Robert Sapolsky. But then , since the lecture was recorded and now a lot has happened in this particular field.

Really enjoyable and interesting. Well presented content in an easy to understand format of small chunks of information. Interesting readings that aren't too long or convoluted. Definitely had me questioning aspects of my life & relating traits in my friends and family to things I have now learnt through the course.

This has been a profoundly eye-opening journey. I loved the course in every way and it heightened my already-present interest towards psychology. For anyone out there thinking of taking the course, always read the additional reading material because they've become the most fascinating readings I've ever encountered.

Estoy tan agredecida con el curso, con la valiosa informacion que nos comparte el profesor Paul Bloom, es una experiencia inexplicable y su forma de expresar y explicar cada tema es perfecta. Recomiendo este curso para todo aquel que tenga dudas sobre su existencia y su perspectiva de vida. Conocimiento y oro puro.

Thoroughly I enjoyed the course. Thank you for the wonderful opportunity and now I understand the core of psychology.

1. The lecturer was amazing!

3. Good course!

4. Suitable for any group of people. Definitely recommend this course to everyone with curiosity to why we do what we do!

Excelente curso para alguien que quiera conocer de manera general y completa el estudio de la ciencia de la Psicología. Lo menciona un egresado en la materia. La distribución de los contenidos es muy didáctica y dinámica, y el formato del contenido es sencillo de digerir y muy adecuado a una audiencia audiovisual.

This is my first Coursera course and I'm so pleased about the learning outcome! I wasn't too sure what I want to do for my next job since I resigned in April, although I'm still not 100% sure, but what I know is I want to be a helper and problem solver! Thank you Professor Paul Bloom! You are my man of the year!!!

This is my first time ever taking a psychology class, I have always wanted to but never seemed like the right fit at that moment. Professor Bloom's online course has been really interesting and insightful. Mr. Bloom is engaging and the format of the videos are well done! I would recommend this class to everyone.

Really great course, the teacher was very good at explaining things and I felt he talked slow enough for me to take notes and understand. I love that I could always pause the video and finish my notes and re watch it if I needed as well, it helped me learn everything tremendously! Thank you I've learned so much.

This is an excellent course especially for the beginners of this subject. The lecturer is amazing and the examples given by him makes it easier to understand the very technical terms and concepts. On the other hand, the course content is well-organized. I highly recommend for anyone to want to follow the course.

It was easy to follow along with all of the information.

The format of short videos ranging from 3-10 minutes on average made it flexible and easy to fit around my schedule.

Having due dates and times for the quizzes encouraged me to finish each weeks content in a week instead of leaving it all to the last minute.

High quality online course !

The lectures were clear and engaging.The Youtube videos,Ted Talks as well as the additional reading material provided

complement the lectures and go into more detail with plenty of references to learn more.

This course provides you with a thorough basic understanding of psychology.

This course was very helpful in helping me get immersed into psychology and how the mind works. The lectures are very informative and the topics being discussed always keep you intrigued and wanting to learn more. Overall it was an enjoyable experience and I wish I could experience it for the first time again.

Not only enhanced my current knowledge but most importantly restructured & reorganized pre-existing knowledge putting everything in row & place! Extremely clear, concrete and to-the-point content focusing on science and not "academic-mism". Thank you very much for the background work done & opportunity offered!

Professor Paul Bloom is a wonderful lecturer, who capture the audience with easiness. He can explain everithing in such a way that even atendees whith no prior knowledge of the subject could follow the topics and remain engaged. I found the course enlightening and personally I would love to see a continuation.

Although it is not a subject I plan on pursuing further, I believe that knowing psychology fundamentals is useful for both one's relationship with others, himself and his/her environment. Professor Bloom is a great speaker, his lectures are very nicely constructed, have a good flow are and seamlessly connected.

An overall outstanding course with an extremely knowledgeable professor! Professor Bloom manages to balance a delightful overview of this intriguing scientific field while satisfyingly explaining each unique theory and expanding the student's understanding of how each individual field corresponds to the others.

Before taking this course, I used to think that the whole field of psychology was fake and superficial. Now, having studied it, I can say that it is a legit science that is very helpful to those in need. Thank you Professor Bloom for all the knowledge, insights, great lectures, and articles you shared with me.

This course has giving me a better foundation in understanding psychology. Our professor's lectures were clear even in the complexity of psychology through his style of teaching. He also managed to express himself and give us a real life experience on an online course. And that in it-self is amazing!

Thank you!

Its really a wonderful experience to go through this course. The course provided much more than I had expected. although its my first course in psychology I look forward to learn the subject in deep and apply as much as I can in my personal life and to help my near and dear ones. thanks a lot for this course.

Kia ora Prof. Bloom,

The course content was superb. I really appreciated the balance of readings, animation and the structure of the assessment quizzes.

I am considering further postgraduate organisational psych studies here in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Ngā mihi nui kia koe (many greetings/thanks to you)

Very informative and I love how Prof. Bloom incorporated some moral lessons like humility at the beginning and end of the course. It makes it more relatable therefore interesting. I alos appreciate that Prof. Bloom suggested steps on what to do next after this course. It makes me want to pursue learning more.

This course in psychology talks about many things that we can help people who suffer in their lives, because everything they talk about in this course is very important. It is a course that I like and I would love to recommend to other people who give themselves the opportunity to learn more about psychology.
