I think the Yale psychology course by Professor Bloom was a good experience. I would give this course a four-star out of five-star rating. The reason I think this, is because it was good for the most part but sometimes it got a little boring and there were topics that I didn’t think would be a part of an introductory course to psychology. However, I do think he did an excellent job explaining everything he taught. I went into psychology not knowing much about the subject, but Professor Bloom made everything clearer and I gained a better knowledge of psychology.

I would like to start by giving Dr. Bloom's intro to Psychology course a four out-of five star rating. I am giving it a four out-of five rating, because it was good but it had a few things that I personally would change about it. I liked almost everything about it, but sometimes it got boring for me. I loved when we talked about all the mental illnesses, but I also got bored in the beginning. In the beginning it felt like it took forever to get through. Also when we were learning about Freud I found that very boring.

I thoroughly understood the concept of human behaviour especially the mental health its therapy . Thank you for giving me this opportunity thanks alot

Lectures, videos and professor were good. The english transcript though had some mistakes. Video/audio needs to be transcribed more carefully.

Very interesting and easy to follow. I was not keen on the last lecture, but the rest is pretty informative.

Muito bom para estudantes de psicologia e quem quer que deseje aprender um pouco sobre esse mundo!

This course had great content and was really interesting.

Nice course for beginners!!

awesome

The course content itself is fascinating, the lectures are interesting and the visuals, while sometimes not totally relevant, are fun and creative.

The absolute WORST thing about this course, is the gosh darn sound effects (bubbling water, gurgles, paper rustling etc) that constantly overlap the voice of the Professor. For someone who's brain works like mine, I simply cannot tune out those things. My brain gives equal attention to the speaking and to the sound effects until I can no longer focus on the words. Its horribly distracting and has sadly detracted from my enjoyment of an otherwise great learning experience.

In order to get the most out of the class, you will likely want to take notes and do the reading. Otherwise, the quizzes are pretty easy to pass with just watching the video lectures, but you won't leave the class with much value.

I wish the lectures had been longer and more substantive. And what other way of interactivity can you get, besides the discussions. I didn't even go back into the lecture after the first time I poked around. It's nothing like in-person discussion groups so it's a little hard to invest.

The course covers most of the topics I expected but the video was very bad. The sound recording is also of very poor quality. The course material is quite extensive. The reading time of 10 minutes allotted is a joke. Some topics take hours to finish. Because of these negatives, I had to drag myself to finish the course, which otherwise is very interesting and informative.

A very engaging course and I would recommend it to someone who wants a very basic understanding of the various sub disciplines of psychology. I felt it was just a bit too easy.

This is a very, very basic course. You will not leave with a good grasp of the contents, even if you do all the assigned readings, like I did. This is not a recommended course for anyone willing to start a carreer in psychology, if that's your case, you should seek other courses. I feel that this course was made only for those people who are slightly curious about their own mind and psychology in general, for those people who want to have something to say in a bar with friends. The professor seems competent. I didn't like the videos model because you never get to watch the professor actually saying the things, instead you'll see only animations. I didn't really like that. Overall good for satisfying your curiosity, maybe, but not enough to get a good understanding of psychology and definitely not good enough to start a carreer in the field.

i enjoyed the animation honestly - my problem is some of the content discussed was outdated knowledge that it gotten to the point where it did feel a little insulting (as a person on the spectrum I didn't really enjoy the little section calling us "robots" or that we think similarly to children when we approach things). some of the information is helpful, but you couldve easily found a book to tell you all you need to know

I found it challenging to engage in lectures where you're watching an animated video. I prefer seeing the prof and other students in a discussion forum, so that I feel a part of the education experience. These animated videos are fine for a few, but they don't allow you to feel any connection with the professor.

It is a good course for someone who has no clue about psychology but for someone who is already familiar with some concepts its a bit vague and not that informative.

Solid content, but incredibly boring videos that made it difficult to stay motivated. No reinforcement of concepts until a tertiary "quiz" at the end of each unit.

Very superficial. Lots of random information. I don’t feel like I acquired real knowledge on Psychology

Animated video made this course boring.Still informative

I already did this course offered by a better university as an Undergraduate course. But to get a certificate I enrolled into this course. The course is good. I am a high schooler and I could complete this course within 14 hours but the certificate I received is WORTHLESS. It says "online non-Credit course" right on the certificate which is not mentioned in the course description. If Yale has to collect more fees to give credits then charge more through Coursera website. but DON"T waste our time.

Terrible. I added a little bit more Knowledge onto what I already know. Like everybody else says it is very simply drawn comics... nothing that interesting.

Coursera won't allow me to un-enroll some of the courses, including this one, I enrolled by mistake. The one-star is for Coursera.

course needs to be credited..... kind of a waist of time. I was trying to complete core classes. don't spend the money!!!!!!!

it's all based on random theories, without any scientific explanation and studies, not explaning how the brain works.
