It’s a ok class, but a LOT of works
the exams are close book but online, so it’s manageable
This class was pretty interesting. TLDR; you can guarantee an A if you finish a lot of assignments. Around 10-15 assignments each week ranging from quizzes, zaps (online experiments), demonstrations (practicing a psych phenomena), mini reflections, discussion board (come up with questions and answering), inquizitive. All these assignments are worth a set amount of points and you eventually build your points up through various ways and once you reach 950k points you get an A. So I know a lot of people right now who have secured an A for the class and the final hasnt even happened which is worth 333K points. Honestly a lot of busy work, but the class is pretty standard cognitive psych. You also need the textbook as it is used for one of the assignments.
This class relied on a point system so as long you get enough points, you should be able to get an A. There are a lot of assignments you can do to get points but this might make the workload quite heavy. Overall, this course wasn't too difficult and if you get enough points before the final, you don't have to take it.
