I just ended this course smiling & 'happy' with the final topic. 🎉 Thank you for the wonderful experience. Professor Bloom did a great job in explaining and a very pleasant, soothing voice to present!

The animated videos are by far the best way to engage a visual learning audience online. I loved how short and sweet the videos were as well, jampacked with information in 3-5 minute videos and taking notes made it super easy to pass. Would like it if they had an option for harder quizzes/tests for the people playing. By far the best course I've taken on here, highly recommend.

It's a great start for anyone who is interested in psychology and really helps you understand what psychology is all about away from the depiction from media. It also helps build thinking skills of how to think more critically and more analytically. I would recommend this course to people who think they lack the ability to think critically or generally interested in psychology.

The course was very informative. It was easy to follow and understand between the lectures and literature. I thought how the lectures were done were pretty awesome and kept my attention at all times not 1 sleepy moment. Thank you for your efforts during this course. I will be looking out for more course given by Prof. Bloom. Thanks once again for this positive experience.

As an introduction to Psychology, the material and delivery of the Professor was highly engaging. As a student who starts many things and drops out often due to losing interest or extreme anxiety of being judged or not being able to do amazing work, I am pleased to have finished this course and found it very rewarding and illuminating towards finding the workings of the mind.

This course takes applying and corelating experiences from personal to observation to get the best out of it. No doubt this has impressed my employers and professors after they heard I took a course from Yale. However, the bigger picture is I am able to learn so much about Pyschology in just a short time and this definaely exapanded motivation to learn more about psychology.

I truly benefit from this course by started with zero knowledge about psychology until understood how our brain mainly works, how we perceive things, and how child develop etc. This course meets my expectation of learning the introduction to psychology and I really hope that this course has more series provide on Coursera! Thank you so much professor Paul Bloom and Coursera!

Thoroughly enjoyed the entire course, the graphics were simply amazing and charming. The content was really well organized and presented, and I especially liked how more real-life experiences and experiments were taught and talked about in order to understand the main concept. This was certainly a good choice for pursuing my interest in psychology as a beginner. Thank you :)

Yale and Professor Paul Blooms offer a very comprehensive and interesting course on Psychology to help grasp key general points of the study of the mind, emotions and the biology of the brain. The course is really enjoyable, with a lot of content but it never gets boring: it becomes increasingly interesting to the point that when it ends, we're left wanting to learn more.

This course is an excellent course for starters in psychology. It covers very important aspects of psychology and gives you major information on all, even if it is a course for beginners. the lecture videos have great cartoons that makes explanation easier. The course tutor Professor Paul Bloom breaks everything so easily. i will love to take any of his courses again.

I wish I could give MORE THAN 5 STARS!
Professor Paul Bloom is one of the best and most engaging teachers I've ever had the fortune to get to learn from.
Also the animations were fantastic, big thanks to the editors and the whole team who did the animations and the sound effects, also making sure that the voiceover is always in sync.
Thanks Yale. Thanks Professor Bloom :))

This course is the right place for a Psychology enthusiast to get a boost into this discipline. The course is well structured and compels the learners to put on their thinking caps and analyse scenarios. The possibilities are laid out in front of us to study and understand them individually. It is highly recommended for anyone who wants to learn the basics of Psychology.

This is my first time completing an online course. The videos are short but super informative. I took all the important information of each video seriously and take at least 2 hours to completely note down a topic video 20-25 min-length.
I didn't know that I loved psychology this much until I got this course. Big thanks to teacher Bloom and Coursera sharing this course!

Really great course for people looking for psychology as a subject or people who want to know some interesting facts about us as Humans. How we think the way we think, why babies are different, how are behaviors formed and so on. The course provides great value about the common things and why they are so. Recommended for everyone, even if you're into psychology or not.

the material is delivered by great and experienced presenters, the material presented is clear and easy to understand, the material presented also uses good visualization so that it helps to understand. The quiz given is also not too difficult. the reading given is also clear and the core material can be understood, unfortunately there is no translation for Indonesian

Professor Bloom is a fantastic professor, he made complex topics easy by giving a lot of examples and showing video material. Furthermore the quiz at the end of each lectrue was doable, not easy but also not impossible to solve. I would recommend this couse to everyone that wants to get a general overview of the field of psychology (and not just clinical psychology)

This course is in contention for being the best course I have ever done in my life. I took this course so that I could understand people better. This course introduced me to a lot more - ranging from the brain to evolution to emotions. A big thank you to Coursera, Yale University and especially Professor Paul Bloom for presenting everything in such an amazing way!

An absolutely wonderful course and a great insight into the field of psychology. Prof. Paul was also outstanding in explaining each module in a way which can be understood by anyone, and has managed to increase my interest in this field even more. I highly recommend it to those looking to get a glimpse in to the world of the mind and leave the course wanting more.
