This course will give students a brief overview of what psychology is really about and how it will help in their daily life and how to approach their daily life.
The modules are really interesting to follow through and the follow-up readings are really helpful to further aid the understanding of the modules discussed.

Excellent introduction to Psychology all the way through. The week on Positive Psychology was a little bare bones - good references here is the work by the RCSI in Dublin , Ireland and the research done by Robert Sapolsky. But then , since the lecture was recorded and now a lot has happened in this particular field.

Really enjoyable and interesting. Well presented content in an easy to understand format of small chunks of information. Interesting readings that aren't too long or convoluted. Definitely had me questioning aspects of my life & relating traits in my friends and family to things I have now learnt through the course.

This has been a profoundly eye-opening journey. I loved the course in every way and it heightened my already-present interest towards psychology. For anyone out there thinking of taking the course, always read the additional reading material because they've become the most fascinating readings I've ever encountered.

Excelente curso para alguien que quiera conocer de manera general y completa el estudio de la ciencia de la Psicología. Lo menciona un egresado en la materia. La distribución de los contenidos es muy didáctica y dinámica, y el formato del contenido es sencillo de digerir y muy adecuado a una audiencia audiovisual.

This is my first Coursera course and I'm so pleased about the learning outcome! I wasn't too sure what I want to do for my next job since I resigned in April, although I'm still not 100% sure, but what I know is I want to be a helper and problem solver! Thank you Professor Paul Bloom! You are my man of the year!!!

This is my first time ever taking a psychology class, I have always wanted to but never seemed like the right fit at that moment. Professor Bloom's online course has been really interesting and insightful. Mr. Bloom is engaging and the format of the videos are well done! I would recommend this class to everyone.

Really great course, the teacher was very good at explaining things and I felt he talked slow enough for me to take notes and understand. I love that I could always pause the video and finish my notes and re watch it if I needed as well, it helped me learn everything tremendously! Thank you I've learned so much.

This is an excellent course especially for the beginners of this subject. The lecturer is amazing and the examples given by him makes it easier to understand the very technical terms and concepts. On the other hand, the course content is well-organized. I highly recommend for anyone to want to follow the course.

It was easy to follow along with all of the information.
The format of short videos ranging from 3-10 minutes on average made it flexible and easy to fit around my schedule.
Having due dates and times for the quizzes encouraged me to finish each weeks content in a week instead of leaving it all to the last minute.

Not only enhanced my current knowledge but most importantly restructured & reorganized pre-existing knowledge putting everything in row & place! Extremely clear, concrete and to-the-point content focusing on science and not "academic-mism". Thank you very much for the background work done & opportunity offered!

Although it is not a subject I plan on pursuing further, I believe that knowing psychology fundamentals is useful for both one's relationship with others, himself and his/her environment. Professor Bloom is a great speaker, his lectures are very nicely constructed, have a good flow are and seamlessly connected.

Before taking this course, I used to think that the whole field of psychology was fake and superficial. Now, having studied it, I can say that it is a legit science that is very helpful to those in need. Thank you Professor Bloom for all the knowledge, insights, great lectures, and articles you shared with me.

This course has giving me a better foundation in understanding psychology. Our professor's lectures were clear even in the complexity of psychology through his style of teaching. He also managed to express himself and give us a real life experience on an online course. And that in it-self is amazing!
Thank you!
