Meh Melissa can seem nice but she utterly messed up my midterm grade let alone my final
The instructor has very clear presentation and slides. Highly recommended! The exams are fair, but the final maybe a little harder.
Great class! I did AP Psych so it was generally a review of it.
This class is fair. What you are given in lectures and labs are what you are assessed on. Overall, a very fair class and learned a lot.
I initially had Ankowski but switched to Paquette Smith and while I much prefer the 4pm over the 8am, Ankowski is a lot more lively and funny, which doesn’t make the biggest difference but that’s the only difference. The class is the exact same. Super chill class, but that doesn’t mean you don’t need to study because you do need to memorize a lot of stuff, given that they’re not crazy hard concepts, but it’s a good amount.
Really enjoyed the class. You needed to do iclicker for participation but that can easily be done from your dorm or wherever you are. The labs occur during the Wednesday lecture in the second half of the lecture. You don't actually need to be in class to complete the labs because they are just worksheets. You will need to create a lab group for 2 of the labs but they host a zoom a couple days after the in person lab that you were supposed to create a group in so don't worry about missing out. You conduct 2 studies on people with your group which is really easy then you write separate lab reports, so you basically only need your group because they help collect data. The midterm and finals were really easy, if you review the lecture slides you will get within the A range. The midterm and finals were multiple choice with an frq at the end. VERY EASY!!!! HIGHLY RECCCCCC
Paquette was super nice and friendly. Do try and attend her office hours
