This was my first experience taking an online course, and I could not have asked for a better experience.

This course has inspired me to dive even deeper into this areas, and hopefully tie them into my next career steps.

Professor Bloom's lectures are engaging, clear and provide relevant and comprehensible examples that have made the content covered something I don't think I will ever forget!

I've been interested in psychology on the side from my main studies and it has helped me understand not only others, but myself. By learning behavior, mental health, thoughts, and being able to read yourself and others in a better way, this course has helped me think better on a daily basis. The mind is a mysterious thing and this is a deep breakdown of how it works. I enjoyed this course.

I started my psychology journey not knowing much about the subject, other than what I saw in film and media. I'm currently in high school as a junior and decided to try this course for my later career. This course has allowed me to learn of what to expect in the psychology field. I'm in AP psychology this year and this course will definetly help with the class. Thank you professor Bloom!

This course by far exceeded my expectations! The concept was very good, I really enjoyed the video / presentation style and Professor Bloom is very engaging.

It covers a wide array of topics and gives a great overview of the different aspects of psychology. This was my first psychology class ever and I definitely learned a lot.

If you are still pondering about it - just take the course ;-)

I completed Introduction to Psychology successfully. The videos and readings are excellent. The transcript below the video is very helpful. Concept integration is clear and coherent. Assessment enhances learning. Questions in the quizzes measure not only the what but also the depth of knowledge. The course is user friendly. I achieved my goal in completing this course

Thank you very much.

Dear Sir,

A warmth greetings!

Thank you for this free course. I do apologize I didn't quite do well in this studies I deserved those grades. I was busy taking good care of my niece during weekdays and and even weekends do some household chores while studying and left open my laptop. It has been also busy this last holidays. Thanks for your considerations. A happy healthy new year to all!

This course was very interesting and my first online experience of being or attending a full classroom of people in front of a university professor even if it was just drawings and animation, it made it feel more engaging and interested me. It was my first time thinking about the mind and learning about what makes people unique like how people with disorders are different from others.

Wonderful course. I am very happy I found it, thank you Yale University, Professor Bloom and Coursera for this amazing opportunity. I am a First Year Undergraduate Psychology student, and this course has helped me strenghten some concepts and theories. But the best is, it made me confirm I am in the right path and motivated me to engage more with this field of knowledge and expertise.

In this course you will learn about many things, you will question yourself and think a lot. I think you can see that Professor Bloom has a passion for teaching and psychology because the classes are so interesting, he explains everything in a clear and simple way. This course has been a great help as you can acquire new knowledge. I am very grateful to everyone who did this course.

I took this course before beginning my undergraduate degree in social sciences. Not only was this excellent preparation, Paul Bloom also made the lessons entertaining and the theories easy to grasp. I would recommend this course to anyone who plans to or is already studying introductory psychology. I frequently refer back to the notes I took for this course to aid my current studies.

It is one of the best courses I ever attend, highly recommended.

I enjoyed learning about how the human mind is working. Professor Paul Bloom not only shared with us the theoretical elements of psychology but also shad the lights on many practical and clinical state-of-the-art studies.

I really like the last part of the course which addressed human happiness. The ending does matter :)

This is a great and complete summary of psychological theories and the basics of Psychology. I am a psychologist and this was good for me to refresh some things I had learned already, but also learn new ones that are always interesting and helpful. Very well compressed and outstanding way to explain and present all the information. It was interesting and entertaining on every topic.

¡Hola! Probé la versión gratuita de este curso y en verdad vale la pena. Es un curso muy completo que te motiva a aprender más y a eso sumemos que la forma de impartir la materia es didáctica, llena de ejemplos y datos curiosos de la vida cotidiana que pasamos muy por alto, lo que te hace replantear tus conocimientos y percepción del mundo. ¡Denle oportunidad, no se arrepentirán! <3

Mr. Paul Bloom's course on psychology was filled with interesting facts, something that I will always keep in mind when dealing with life and interacting people. I am highly impressed with his style of teaching. His pace is very smooth and good and it makes it easy for you grasp concepts. Looking forward to taking part in more of his courses. Thank you so much, Professor Paul Bloom!

Great course! Has been my first Coursera course and I had so much fun. I really liked the animated videos and I personally think that Prof. Bloom explains everything very clear and precise. I think he is a great professor and I am happy that he offers this free course here on Coursera. 5 Stars!!! Highly recommend this course if you are looking for a great introduction to Psychology.

I'm very happy to be taking this course. This course is not only interesting to learn but also greatly helps us to get to know psychology more closely. The material provided by tutors is also very easy to understand, the source of reference can be ascertained the truth, and the most interesting of these courses is the animation used. Thank you, Mr. Bloom, thank you Yale University.

Es una formación muy amena, con claves fundamentales sobre aspectos de la psicología. Abarca diferentes perspectivas importantes para comprender las bases de la disciplina y los ejemplos y materiales utilizados ilustran perfectamente la teoría. Las explicaciones son sencillas, pero no por ello dejan de tratarse temas complejos en la profundidad requerida. Un buen punto de partida.

Incredible. I am a pharmacist and work very directly with people. I was interested in the course because I believe it will make me better understand the aspects related to the feelings of the people I deal with in my work environment, and thus help them with pharmaceutical care even more directed to humanized treatment, which is what I value . Congratulations Professor Paul Bloom.

I do love the course and enjoyed reading all the papers that Professor Paul shared, Most of the resources shared for each module are very relative and help with better understanding, expand the knowledge towards Psychology, and free to access. I appreciate the deep thought and concern that Professor Paul brought up in this course. Looking forward to getting more courses from Him.

I enrolled this course to explore psychology, but now I am in love with it. I really wish to keep learning about other psychological aspects and to expand my knowledge on what I leaned here. Professor Paul is incredibly talented in teaching and will definitely capture your attention. (Don't tell any one, but I think he used some psychological tricks to make you love this course!!)

The course was excellent, with engaging videos and a good professor. There was information provided on every aspect and field of psychology to give an overview of the topics involved in psychology. There were readings and references given for each part of the topic. I would definitely recommend you this course if you want to get started on Psychology and know very little about it.

I took this course to refresh my psychology knowledge and learn the specific academic vocabulary as I did my psychology degree 10 years ago in Spanish.

The combination of classes and readings was perfect, as I could really take my time and expand my vocabulary as needed.

I feel comfortable now pursuing further post-graduate studies in English.

Thank you, Paul, Yale, and Coursera.

I found the course very engaging and though I missed many timelines due to a hectic lifestyle, I could not resist to go back to the course and finally completed it today. Professor is very engaging and the quiz planned could not be done right if one is not reading and listening the lectures mindfully.

Thank you very much.

Excellent course. Well-presented. Lectures provide a framework for all of the major specialties of psychology. Readings add details and are also essential. The best thing one can say about an introductory course is that it makes you want to learn more in the field. I have taken 12 Coursera courses in various fields so far, and this one was the most interesting and overall best.
