Overall it's a good general overview of the subject of Psychology, giving you information about the different aspects and specializations in the field. Some topics are more rich than others , but still it provides you with the essential keys to dive deep on your own afterwards. The readings are great!

As I said this course is best introductory course, I mean you won't total psychology here itself but you get how to approach psychology or how to think like psychology and we can have a basic understanding of all fields of psychology. overall, this course met my expectations and I enjoyed the course.

Excellent explanation with fascinating animation. I was really invested in Professor Bloom’s classes and making detailed notes. One small suggestion: the English captions are often wrong, which can be confusing for those who might not speak English as a first language or have a hearing disability.

I have a masters in math and a law degree. I thought the course was great but the test questions a little obtuse. I know what the Flynn effect is ad have a theory about its causes including nutrition and increased complexity of western life. Do not feel tests followed the material very well..

I had fun learning the basics of psychology with this course. However, I would like to give 5 stars if there is more explanation for this. I understand that most people learn better by examples, but at the same time, we need more explanations and descriptions as well to determine the subjects.

I think the assignments could have been more active, so that the information sticks better. Think of written assignments and the use of peer feedback. At the moment it is more about recognition. However, I thought the course was really great and it inspired me to learn more about the topics.

This course was very well presented and the animations within some of the videos were very engaging and helped me to remember the information. I particularly liked the `ted talks and also the videos from specific scientific studies within the lectures as they helped further my understanding.

The course material and lectures were interesting and presented in a comprehensive manner, however, the time allotment for readings was unrealistic. The readings took much longer to complete, especially if you were taking notes along the way. Overall, I enjoyed this course very much.

An interesting course, Prof Bloom is very agreeable to listen to and I love the graphics. Really brings back the university feeling. Some of the videos just finish mid-sentence, which is a bit of a shame and the reading assignments are usually a lot longer than the anticipated 10min.

Very nice course! I enjoyed it a lot and it nicely touched upon all the different subjects in the field of pshychology. Sometimes it was a little confusing to me, that a theory was explained carefully and only afterwards was been told that the theory allready had been proven wrong.

Good material, very thorough. Its videos are animations which was not the best for me. Prof. Bloom is knowleadgeable, funny and humble. The course is exactly what it says it is, an introduction, an overview of the field but with option to further your studies according to interest.

the course gave me an overview of psychology in each path. Some information makes me have to think again and revise my perception before. reading optional relevant to what I learn (sometimes it's over information but it's not a problem) The quiz help me recall again what I learned

I enjoyed the course, with two caveats: one, the animated course format was rather cartoonish, I'd have preferred Prof Bloom to talk in front of the camera. Two - I didn't quite buy the hyper empiricist assumptions colouring the presentations. A good introduction, nevertheless.

This is a great course to get started in Psychology. One gets a basic overview and can use the knoweledge practically. I wold suggest to take this course to anyone who is intrested in the working of human mind.

I just think that they should have included some work of Carl Jung.

It was such an amazing course. It is quite a different format to what I was used to so it takes a while to understand the course but it was really engaging and loved having key notes on the screen as he spoke. Some of the animatins made me laugh which I was always happy about.

This course was a little different and had some time to do this. It was kinda interesting there were stuff that I didn't agree with so I just picked up what I needed to do. I enjoyed the part about how are minds work when we had part of our brains that aren't working right.

Unrealistic estimation of effort, specially on what concerns reading articles.

Videos great but too superficial when comparing to readings.

It is important to have timetables but it is also important to be flexible so the courses can be performed by moms, people working, etc.

Me ha gustado mucho el curso, ha sido sencillo, claro y he aprendido mucho acerca del comportamiento humano y he descubierto algunas claves para incrementar mi bienestar personal, ojalá supieramos más sobre que nos hace ser mas felices y como afrontar los eventos adversos

Material excellent and I found the animations actually less distracting than watching a person. I found it a novel way to present the lectures. Very interesting articles and length of course manageable for a busy lifestyle! Please do more courses Professor Bloom!!

Love how it captured basic aspect of psychology and how opinions of psychologist are presented and also how argument for and against it are also presented. Lovely introductory course. I can't wait to learn more and concentrate on a specific aspect of psychology.

The course was interesting and well presented. The content was fairly comprehensive and allowed for further study with adequate recommendations for reliable resources. Thanks to Paul for generously compiling the material and offering it as a free introduction.

Some statements need to be updated (concerning the "Parenting doesn't matter claim" which seem to have been proved erroneous by modern research). Overall, great job for encapsulating all the important sides of psychology in such great narrating and structure!

This was certainly a course that serves its purpose of introducing beginners to psychology. I really enjoyed it! However, personally, I wish it would go a bit more in depth. Nevertheless, this is definitely a great course that I do not regret to have learned.

Mr Bloom, thanks for the psyc insights. I have learnt a lot here and this has exposed me to new knowledge and practice.

You and your team are just resourceful in this area.

I have been learning from here and promise to learn more through Coursera.

Best regards.

The course materials was arranged very nicely and presentation was awesome. It would be better if i could see paul bloom directly while giving the lecture. I didn't like the animation he provided. May be he needs to think more about animations in future.
