Professor Paul Bloom is a wonderful lecturer, who capture the audience with easiness. He can explain everithing in such a way that even atendees whith no prior knowledge of the subject could follow the topics and remain engaged. I found the course enlightening and personally I would love to see a continuation.

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.

An overall outstanding course with an extremely knowledgeable professor! Professor Bloom manages to balance a delightful overview of this intriguing scientific field while satisfyingly explaining each unique theory and expanding the student's understanding of how each individual field corresponds to the others.

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!

Its really a wonderful experience to go through this course. The course provided much more than I had expected. although its my first course in psychology I look forward to learn the subject in deep and apply as much as I can in my personal life and to help my near and dear ones. thanks a lot for this course.

Kia ora Prof. Bloom,

The course content was superb. I really appreciated the balance of readings, animation and the structure of the assessment quizzes.

I am considering further postgraduate organisational psych studies here in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Very informative and I love how Prof. Bloom incorporated some moral lessons like humility at the beginning and end of the course. It makes it more relatable therefore interesting. I alos appreciate that Prof. Bloom suggested steps on what to do next after this course. It makes me want to pursue learning more.

This course in psychology talks about many things that we can help people who suffer in their lives, because everything they talk about in this course is very important. It is a course that I like and I would love to recommend to other people who give themselves the opportunity to learn more about psychology.

This is my first completed course on Coursera. Overall, a pretty good course. Made me know a little bit more about whats going on in my head. Prof. Paul Bloom explain it in such an engaging way. Also, thank you for Yale University and the animators for all their hardwork on making this course free to access.

An excellent course that will give you a deeper understanding of the basic aspects of psychology. Perfect if you want to expand your knowledge of the subject or if you, like me, wanted some more knowledge about it before going off to university! Would recommend this to anyone who is interested in psychology.

Agradecer la experiencia y oportunidad de haber llevado el curso de "Introducción a la psicología", me ayudado a nivel personal a comprender y aprender a manejar situaciones emocionales, y también me da herramientas y recursos que me ayudarán en mi trabajo. Los vídeos y lecturas han sido claras y precisas.

This was my first online course after my retirement. I enjoyed the course very much. It provided a concise survey of psychology with all the basic elements necessary for understanding the processes we all undergo all the time from our birth to the very end of life. I wholeheartedly recommend to everybody.

Before taking it I thought I knew everything about psychology (not everything but had a good notion of it), but then I found out I didn't - it was all common sense and not science. This course breaks so many misconceptions we have, it is just great! I loved taking it. Thank you to Professor Bloom and Yale!

Prof Bloom is absolutely amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed taking this class. His enthusiasm and knowledge towards this class made it easy to participate and stay engaged in the materials. Thank you ! I hope to see more of your classes & lectures on this site !

I really recommend this course. I was so very interested in Psychology since many years ago, how out brain works, why we think what we think, the personality, some emotions, you can find these topics in here. The professor Paul is great, he has a lot of experience, and give very good stories and examples.

Very well structured, professor Bloom's delivery is perfect, he makes the course easy to understand, engaging and interesting, and the animations make the whole experience more dynamic. The content and lectures have a lot of information that can be of much help afterwards. I'm very pleased by this course.

An excellent course to get introduced to the basic concepts of Psychology, to have an overview of how we've evolved on understanding feelings and thoughts during the past decades, and how recently we've acknowledged the way theyr are integrated into our self, and with our physical body and external world.

Great course, it gave me a decent amount of exposure to the introductory topics of Psychology, and very well suited for anyone starting without any previous background. The Reading material covered lots of interesting things, which took longer than the prescribed time, but it's worth spending the time :)

Hello to the learner, I feel extremely excited to participate in the Introduction to Psychology course addressing me to understand in deep how to human actions and behavior, and after I studied I feel so comfortable to be open-minded. Best suggestions for getting to this course. Thank lots for professor.

It is an incredible course, the information is very clear and the teacher makes it enjoyable, personally I can say that it gave me back the love of learning.

Es un curso increíble, la información es muy clara y el profesor la hace amena, de manera personal puedo decir que me devolvió el amor por aprender.

I really enjoy the course! Professor Bloom used some intriguing examples and perspectives to help me see psychology in a different way. I also enjoy some of his personal input. I am thinking of going back to school. I think this course provided a very good idea of some fundamental concepts in psychology.

This was one of the most interesting, engaging and fascinating courses I ever watched (and I watched many).

I feel grateful for having had the possibility to listen to this instructor, he really knows how to transport his knowledge.

Anyone should visit this course. Highly educational and interesting.

Prof. Bloom is hands down one of the best lecturers I've had the pleasure of learning from. His delivery was great, his pacing and language use was easy to follow along with.

The course has a wide range of subjects, so you can really get a feel for which area of Psychology is the most interesting to you.
