I was hoping to jump straight into clinical psychology and at first I resented all the historical topics, especially the lectures about stuff that psychologist’s don’t believe anymore. Then, as I went on I appreciated the extra level of information. Overall, a really good INTRODUCTION to an incredibly complicated subject. It’s inspired me to learn more.

As a visual learner, I appreciate the use of art for the visuals of each lesson. The professor has a clear voice which makes me listen more and understand everything he says clearer. The use of sound effects also got me more excited to learn as it helps me to focus and have fun as I learn. I also rarely see other courses using this kind of visual aids.

Covers a broad range of major topics in psychology with vivid description and cases. The views from the lecturer are very modern and objective, and always try to tell the audience the importance of humbleness and scientific analysis method when doing research in the psychology field. Also really liked the novel presentation method (the illustratIons!!)

This is my first course on Coursera and I loved every bit of it! I got a bit emotional on the final lecture when Dr.Bloom touched on humility and optimism. I have gained beneficial knowledge on the brain and human behaviors, but there are areas yet to be explored. With this, I highly recommend this course to gain insight into the basics of psychology!

Totally awesome. Its been awhile since my last course. With that being said the wording in thee quizzes takes a bit and is a little confusing. Perhaps more details or information regarding upcoming questions on quizzes. I took plenty of notes? But thank you for the experience. Professor Bloom was exceptionally easy to understand, precise and clear.

The content was easy to understand and provided a comprehensive overview of the science of thought and mind. The animations were well-made and the audiovisual association made the lectures easy to follow. The lectures and complementary textbook readings were very complete. The professor's enthusiasm made for an extremely enjoyable learning experience.

I really enjoyed the class as it covered a rather wide array of introductory topics ranging from memory to mental illness in addition to much more. I also respected Dr. Bloom's treatment of the mind-body problem and how he addressed the stance of religious people without being discourteous - although, the course definitely has a naturalistic approach.

I had an incredible journey! I thoroughly enjoyed the lectures, readings, examples, and engagement! The content and activities enhanced my recall and understanding of key concepts in Intro to Psychology which allowed me to immediately apply them to real-world scenarios! Great JOB!!! This class far surpassed previous studies of Intro to Psychology!!!

Even if you are not a psychology student or not seeing this as your major you must consider opting for this online course. I personally liked it because it offered me what i expected the most from it, that is to learn about people around me and to understand them more. Was able to understand myself more too, what every GenZ wants the most right now!

The way professor Bloom explained each and every terminology by giving examples making it understandable and easy to remember. There are some animations involved that keeps you interested too. The readings were not too lengthy and informative at the same time. some surveys were involved that i found super interesting. Then again you have forums too.

this is my 3rd course from Coursera and I think this one is the best in a way that the professor is really engaging and you feel like you were in a real lecture room. The video is not boring and the reading material is worth reading and scientific based not like some course that the reading material was referred from some non-evidence based website.

I wanted to say thank you to Professor Bloom for creating an informative, yet enjoyable Introduction to Psychology. The animated video format was easy to follow and the pace and presentation by Professor Bloom was excellent. I would highly recommend the course as there are many take aways relevant to day-to-day life. A great foundational course.

It was an excellent course taught to me by the Renowned Professor of Yale University on the subject of Introduction to Psychology. He has an excellent knowledge of the subject. The subject matter enriched my knowledge and further hones my skills on Psychology . Hearties thanks to the Yale University and to the concerned Professor of this subject.

I was always curious about psychology. Professor Bloom did a great job introducing it to me. Do I want to delve further? No, I'll leave that to the professionals. What this course has done though, is confirm my belief that there are high functioning "psychos" among us, re the James Bond reference. Thank you for an eye and mind opening introduction.

I loved taking this course. I enrolled in this course because of Prof Bloom, after coming across his work a couple of years ago. I even referenced him in a book I wrote, called dognitive therapy. I am an animal behaviourist and discussed cognitive vs emotional empathy in my book. Thank you for such a wonderful course. And, hi to Professor Bloom! :)

Introduction to Psychology was a fascinating course that covered a wide variety of topics. It was very beginner friendly and did a good job at giving a broad understanding of the topic while simultaneously going into a bit more depth where needed. The course was taught fantastically and I feel I got a lot out of it as a whole. 5/5 would recommend.

Its a really great course to learn about human mind and its psychological aspects, it is very usefull to get how is humans personality, happiness, intelligent and many factor's meaning, what affects it and all. It was agreat experience, should try it atleast once. The guidance assesment and reading materials everythimg was exceptionally very good.

Would like to thank Paul Bloom for the excellent course. It not only gave me general idea about Psychology but also helped me understand what topics I am more interested in. The methodology of explanation is perfect and in case you are not native speaker, no worries. Everything is explained in a very clear and interesting way. Thank you very much.

This is a well-rounded course reviewing a broad range of materials and concepts in psychology. It was easy to follow and the lecturer was engaging, and I enjoyed that although the lecturer shared his own opinions or beliefs at times, he was also sharing contrasting view points. It provokes many questions and inspires further inquiry and reading.

I loved this engaging course and will be following up on all the suggested readings. Highly recommend. I will use this course as a reference and engage in the discussions. There were some things I did not agree with but I want to ponder and read more before joining the discussion. There is a good chance that I'm wrong! That's the joy of learning.

Cannot ask for more from a "introductory" course. This was more than that, with both an excellent breadth and excellent resources provided for deep-dive into particular topics. Prof. Bloom has a very soothing narration and has covered this vast topic in a very engaging way. I really want to thank him for making this course available for everyone.

This is course is an excellent start to gving you the basics of psychology. Prof Bloom is a natural, speaker , he teaches as if he is telling a story. I throughly enjoyed learning and all of the material that were presented. This course put many of the pieces of the "what is psychology" puzzel together. This course was very worth the investment.

I was really curious about Psychology, I studied Marketing and had a single class dedicated to it, but to me it wasn’t that helpful, so I started to search for courses that were easy to understand, and started with the basic principles, I’m so glad I stumble upon Professor Bloom and his course.

I highly recommend it for anyone with a curious mind!

A brilliant, insightful and engaging course. Covering all the core topics of psychology, serving as a great tool to either introduce people to the vast topic of psychology, or to remind, revise and solidify knowledge developed from previous research and education. I would recommend this to anyone remotely interested in learning about psychology.

I'm halfway through week two and so far im LOVING THIS. honestly haven't genuinely enjoyed learning anything for a while until now. The lectures are well organised and engaging, and the reading are relevant and provides deeper understanding into course material. I have learnt a LOT just from watching the lectures and taking note while doing it.
