I had had a good insight about psychology in general. I really enjoyed the course and especially how the brain functions and how to make informed personal decisions regarding others. And possible areas to potentially explore. Thank you coursera for giving me the opportunity to study for free.

This course was really easy to follow and great, very interesting information was provided in just a short time. For me, it was so nice to understand and have experience of what the Professor spoke about, and learn that there are actual reasons and theories/effects for our daily experiences.

I really liked this course! Professor Bloom gives a complete overview of psychology and he really helped me understanding how human thinking works. I am sure that it will be useful as a future doctor to help my patients, but also (and above all) to interpret life with more "conscious" eyes.

I have loved every single thing about this course - the teacher, the quality of contents and the way they were explained, the absolute quality of videos and illustrations. Hard to believe this was an online course when what you get is much more than you could possibly expect. I have loved it.

This was one of the best courses I have taken on here. The lectures were interesting and they put effort into the course material and how it was presented. It was a broad overview of psychology, yet was able to get into some very specific and interesting topics. I would highly recommend it.

Insightful course, great overview and course content, well structured modules and assessments.
Felt like I just got my teeth sunk into the course and it was over.
Definitely worth the time if you're looking for personal growth, to further your educational potential, or just out of Interest.

Introduction to Psychology was very informative and covered a vast array of topics. The instructor Mr. Paul Bloom was very self explanatory in his various lectures making the course enjoyable and educational. To all the future students, I hope you will have as much fun learning as I did ☺️

Very engaging course! Professor Bloom is very good at presenting ideas in a clear and organized fashion. The videos weren't too long so you don't lose focus. I highly recommend taking this course if you are interested in psychology and are wondering if you should pursue it later on in life.

While Yale is a self-explanatory distinction in itself, Professor Bloom presents the course in the best possible way it can be. He balances the curriculum with simplicity and complexity in equal parts, making learning, and acquisition of knowledge throughout the course an absolute delight.

The course was a great experience. It offered the most interesting insights into how the human brain works. The difference of a child's brain and an adult's in particular triggered many new thoughts in my mind. Professor Bloom's great style of teaching also made the course more enjoyable.

I would like to thank Coursera and Yale university for making such an opportunity available for all.
unfortunately I can't pay for the certificate because of a financial distress, nowadays I'm working on my CV and I would be glad if the course certificate was mentioned there ..
best regards

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.
