This was my second course using this site, and with Professor Bloom, and once again it was great. I've genuinely learnt a lot, and I've found a new love for psychology I never would have found before.

I highly recommend this course to anyone willing to understand about the basic history and origins of psychology, scientific approach but full of insights and inspiration to go further in the matter.

I found the course to be well constructed and interesting, it covered many of the main areas of psychology. However for me it lacked the depth of other courses I've completed. I found the format of the videos (cartoon professor) to be a novelty at first, but it became difficult to connect with the professor and subsequently the course content due to the format.

Great material to introduce me to Psychology. The modules are arranged and categorized clearly. If I may suggest improvements, one is that Professor Bloom's intonation could be livelier and more engaging. Two, the animation is good but it doesn't allow me to see Professor Bloom's facial expression and actual body gesture, which makes it less engaging as well.

The course is quite informative and well structured. The additional material provided is also interesting to read. The reason for 3 star is that it's just an overview of all the core stuff, you'll have to dig deeper by yourself to even get a basic understanding.

A quick and easy introduction to the most relevant aspects of psychology. The strongest point is that the videos are short and very entertaining. The weak point is that the course is an overview of psychology and may you leave wanting more.

Reading materials are of quality and awesome! However, the course videos can be quite boring as it was delivered monotonously and for a Psychology beginner, there're plenty of terms to remember which makes the content very dry!

Interesting topics, but low quality video with distracting animations, issues with audio getting stuck, poorly estimated time of reading (e.g. 6 long articles estimated to take 10 mins). Overall: not recommended.

Not bad, a lot of interesting things. But - no system, no specific way, just few words about anything, and they not realy related with each others. But not bad.

It gives you basic understanding of Pscychology and its good for surface level like its good for school kids or people who want general knowledge on Pschology.

The animations, cartoons, and sound effects are extremely unnecessary and annoying. The speaker should have talked in a louder tone.

I would rather watch his old course uploaded on youtube. That is way more engaging even when the presentation is not visible.

Stats about autism are massively outdated. Stephen Pinker is not a good person to reference as his science is junk.
