This course opened up my mind to the finer nuances of psychology. I used to think it is very far-fetched and not significant to look into these aspects. But my understanding of them has now been awakened and I feel a profound meaning in numerous situtations after having done this course.

A great, interesting and relevant course. With an engaging teacher that will share his knowledge in a clear and very understandable way. A must-to-do course that will give you lots of insights on how our brain, body and emotions work and make of you the amazing person that you are !!!

The professor is engaging and with this being my third online structured program that is refreshing. The readings and references coincide with the course,it's easy to follow, now if they could only offer a degree program in counseling and mental health! Thanks for the great job y'all do!

Loved the course, very entertaining topics kept me engaged the whole time, If the entire certificate is done by this professor Im sure I can pass with flying colors and that would be wonderful as I work in spurts and traditional education really doesn't work with me but I love learning !

This is a very good introduction to the subject area. The lecturer is engaging, and the 'cartoon' presentation appealing. The range and depth of the topics covered seems very well-judged, and has inspired me to delve further into the subject matter. Many thanks for an excellent course.

Brilliant course, well structured, and very well taught. Prof Bloom explained everything perfectly - engaging and to the point. The animations are wonderful and pleasant without being distracting. The additional resources are very interesting and informative. Overall, excellent course.

I really loved this course. I took some psychology courses in university a coupe of decades ago and was not interested in it at all. But this was so interesting, engaging and easy to follow! Will be doing some more courses for sure. Thanks so much for spiking my curiosity in this area.

Gave me a good basic understanding of Psychology and it's various branches, providing me a clear idea and choice on which branch is suitable for further studies and research. Very compelling professor, and he works wonders in terms of making people understand him. Enjoyed it very much.

This helped me so much for my psychology class in school. Not only it helped me understand everything that the teacher says in school but also it makes me love psychology! I just get to love it so much and am really thankful for professor Bloom who created this wonderful course for us.

Excellent course. Comprehensive and challenging. Professor Bloom's lectures were clearly presented with alternative views and re-evaluations of established work. Reading material re-enforced the lectures. Stimulating and thought provoking. I will definitely be doing further courses.

Use this course as a crash course if you're an outsider and psychology interests you. If you are interested in this domain this course will lay out a strong foundation for you and push you in the right direction.

Best part of the course is the Professor! HANDS DOWN!

Worst part? NONE?!

I haven't even started the course yet but it looks brilliant! Never in my life did I think I would be doing a course offered by Yale University! I thank the folks at Yale and Coursera for making it so easy and cheap for one to be able to attempt achieving what some would call a dream!

One of the best made online courses. The animated lectures with Paul Bloom's riveting voice-overs stand out amongst all the other courses I've ever taken. The content itself was also incredibly interesting and, I would argue, not only for those who are new to the world of psychology.
