A great, not super challenging introductory overview of psychology that builds your knowledge from the ground up, and covers the development of, and controversies within, different parts of the field. By far the most engaging videos I've seen in any course.

This was really wonderful. I had many question like how brain works, why someone attracted to others, what is happiness and sadness etc. Thank you very much dear Prof. Paul and I also want to thank my institute who notified me about coursera online courses.

So worth it. Thank you for taking the time to make this available for people who can't afford Yale or any school but want access to education. Never in a million years (or 30) did I think I would take college courses. I can't wait to see where it takes me.

The course is a great introduction to psychology and the format is conducive to learning. I especially enjoyed the text included which is well written, informative and more in depth than the video lectures. Dr. Bloom is an outstanding lecturer and teacher.

Very well-presented overview of psychology as a whole. Gives you a taste of just about everything, while being jam-packed with knowledge in any interested and engaging style. Would highly recommend. Has definitely made me want to pursue this area further.

Paul Bloom was informative with a very soothing voice. I feel like he gave a lot of different perspectives related to all theories, beliefs, etc.. I learned a lot but it was definitely challenging. Especially the quizzes, but that was expected. Great job.

Great introductory course to psychology. I recommend it to anybody who would like a start off point to get the sense of direction they want to pursue further in the field. Super user-friendly. Lots of suggested additional readings for those inquisitive :)

Course was thought and explained in an interesting way to my understanding. It answered lots of questions in daily live. Various skills acquired since various topics were talked about. And had great range of recommended resources to improve my knowledge.

The Design of the course is great to learn besides doing other things. If you don't have much time and you want to listen to a course like a podcast, while you are cooking or only do something else in your little breaks. This is a good option for that.

Un excelente curso para una primera introducción al basto campo de la Psicología , me encantó la manera de abordar los temas con vídeos llamativos y duración perfecta, no se siente nada pesado, las lecturas las disfrutas mucho y el aprender cosas nuevas.

The professor's style of teaching is absolute excellence. You will be glued to the screen listening to the lecture, being mindblown at every point. The way the videos are created is very engaging and keeps you curious and wanting to know more throughout.

An extremely well structured course that will bring answers to many of your life-time questions, bringing much more understanding of the human mind, behaviours and life in general.

The course is easy to follow and very informative.

I totally recommend it!

I was initially intimidated with this online course because it was offered by Yale. After the first lecture, Prof. Bloom is knowledgeable and engaging. I feel I learned a lot about the history of Psychology and the different subjects within psychology.

I had a scoail psychology course before this and read articles before about psychology so i was familiar with the stuff but i liked the course and the was it was prepared.also liked the way professor shared his opinions,his teaching style at uni. etc....

Professor Bloom is an exceptional lecturer. The way the course is structured is phenomenal, creative and also very precise. I learned a lot of new things, ideas, theories, etc. which have surely helped me to understand psychology from a new perspective.

Excellent course, the human mind is impressive, thanks to Professor Paul Bloom, a very entertaining and very interesting course, especially very honest, there is still much to investigate and learn about human behavior and the factors that influence it.

I've taken many online courses and this was, by far, the most well-designed and constructed! Professor Bloom is truly amazing at conveying knowledge and explaining. I will definitely suggest this course to anyone interested in the subject of psychology.

Simply the best course I've ever taken on Coursera. Prof. Bloom and his co-workers have crafted something special here; an educational, engaging, attention-commanding course. Thank You, Professor Bloom and Co! I highly recommend this course to everyone.

This course was way more instructive than I anticipated for a very inexpensive online course. I really got a lot out of it and enjoyed the lessons. Professor Bloom does a great job of keeping the lectures interesting and engaging even in a video format.

This is by far the most important and influential course I have ever taken. The study of the mind is far more fascinating and vast than I ever imagined and it is taught with so much detail and love. You will become a better human by knowing this stuff.

Well I am new to this field, but not the learning part. The way this fields aspects, and course was delivered is one of the best way; I have grasp knowledge in my life. Well done professor Bloom, Yale University and Coursera for this intellectual treat.

Only if somebody truly starts to know and understand the human mind - can explain a complex topic like psychology in such a simple, holistic and easy way by visualizing the essence with great day-to-day examples! Highly beneficial and life changing...

Extremely delighted for having a chance to attend these lectures online. Very clear, interesting and professional. Animations and examples made lessons even more interesting, while reading source is very thorough but simplified for non-experts as well.

Loved this course, thank you very much, Professor Bloom! Great overview of the major areas of psychology that help make sense of the onslaught of pseudo-psychological information surrounding us with great anecdotes and storytelling. Highly recommended!

A brilliant course for getting an overview of what all comes under psychology. The professor talks about his own researches in the field and other contemporary researches that make it all the more relevant. Additional reading information is also great.
