I really enjoyed the accessibility of this course, having not studied psychology before. I found topics were explained clearly, with interesting case studies, and the quizzes and readings were just the right amount of support v challenge. I enjoyed the videos that had a clip from an experiment the most.

This course is perfectly constructed and on point. The concept of the video give me a bit of nostalgia of being a student again. The instructor also giving many simple examples that are very useful to grasp some quite heary concept. A bit of humour also a nice addition on this course which i enjoyed.

Thorough presentation and suggested readings that helped to clarify and cement the information given. I enjoyed and appreciated the format as I was able to rewind when necessary (frequently) and listen while in the car. Thank you very much Professor Bloom. Hope to see you at Yale in the fall of ‘21!

The professor's genuine passion for the subject was pleasantly contagious. The course was quite comprehensive overall, and anyone who takes this course will be able to appreciate the subtle nuances when it comes to the behaviors and inclinations of our fellow human beings, and ourselves in the process.

An amazing course with a very animated and informative professor. This course was an absolute eye-opener into so many aspects of psychology; things that we ask ourselves every day and ponder on. Introduction to Psychology by Yale is one of the most interesting things I have done in the academic field.

Thanks to Dr. Bloom and everyone else in Coursera who gave me this opportunity to study across the world, I really need that. The descriptions were clear and easily understood which had been confusing for me at the university in the first place. I hope I can use this knowledge and continue forward...

Extremely engaging. Learn way more than I thought. Advise this course to anyone who have an interest in psychology or is on college and needs a different insight.
And doing the course on my own rhythm, pausing and retreat videos whenever I needed was a great experience. This is the future of learning.

Wow! this is an incredible journey, not only did i learn a lot about the brain and how it affects the mood, the personality and overall way of perceiving things that happen and have happened, but to also be more aware about the psychology of happiness, which came in from the last part of the course.

I really enjoyed the course and the speaker had a great voice. What I really liked was how he would provide examples of what he was talking about to make it more relatable and easier to understand . I learned lots and now I'm taking Social Psychology because the Intro was so interesting. Thank you!

I loved this course, turns out Paul and I had a lot of similarities and I liked the way he instructed the course slow and with a good amount of detail, examples of videos or graphs as needed. I would give an extra star for the love of batman. Thank you, and keep fighting psychological crime.
Cheers.
