Thank you so much for 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? Now, I can answer those questions well and I can tell the people closest to me about it.

Don't waste your time with other Psychology courses on this website. This one is everything I expected it to be and I would take it over and over if I could. His voice is pleasant, the content is interesting, and I never once felt I needed to "get this over with." Well done!

The lecturer on this course was so clear with his explanations as well as brilliant illustrations to assist with visual learners. I was engaged throughout and I honestly don't think that would have been the case if it was taught by someone who wasn't as great as this lecturer.

This is an excellent course on a very complicated topic. The videos are very engaging and Professor Bloom makes the topic easy and explains them in Layman's terms. The assignments are tricky and the additional resources motivate you to explore more about the topics discussed.

It was a great kickstart for introducing me to psychology and its various aspects. Prof. Bloom taught the course exponentially well and by the end the last video I was kinda sad that the course is ending. I would really love if Prof. takes an advanced course on this platform.
