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.

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.

Thank you so much prof.Bloom and yale universitry for providing such a nice course.Teaching style and explaining method is too good.The course content,the topics covered in the syllabus are very useful ,i have gained lots of knowledge through this course. Thank you once again.

I didnt watch the videos till the end but i did a lot of reading, and i really enjoyed it.It has been a helpful and amazing course.I will watch all the videos once so i can take notes which i did with the first 2 chapters.Thank you very much Mr Bloom for this course and now i have more knowledge about Psychology which i will start with this Monday at Bahçeşehir University.

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.
