About the Course

What are people most afraid of? What do our dreams mean? Are we natural-born racists? What makes us happy? What are the causes and cures of mental illness? This course tries to answer these questions and many others, providing a comprehensive overview of the scientific study of thought and behavior. It explores topics such as perception, communication, learning, memory, decision-making, persuasion, emotions, and social behavior. We will look at how these aspects of the mind develop in children, how they differ across people, how they are wired-up in the brain, and how they break down due to illness and injury....

It's simple, easy to understand with the visual examples in the videos. I also love the way the professor teaches. His voice and tone is calming, the same goes for his visual character displayed on the vids.

Dr. Bloom is certainly a great teacher who knows how to organize such a broad field into a course containing all the core information that is necessary for a newbie to get a grip of psychology. It was great!

Giving five stars for the content, BUT the transcripts for many of the lectures were inaccurate. I hope someone will take a look at that and fix it for those who do rely on transcriptions for accessibility.

I like the information provided, although sometimes it was hard to focus as the pictures were quite monotonic. Would be really nice to see the instructor live from time to time :)

Overall - great experience!
