Class was easy and super interesting

I LOVED this class; highly recommend it. This class always has such poor review but its not the professors fault—the curriculum is just dense by nature

I really enjoyed Psych 115 with Avishek. Maybe it was because it was online, but his class seemed a lot easier than previously expected. I know he’s teaching summer 2022, and I’d highly recommend taking it with him! He gives so much detail and is funny.

Adhikari is a great professor. He has all the lectures in video form available at the beginning of the week so you don't have to attend lectures in-person at all. There are weekly quizzes which is a little troublesome but they are only 6 questions, 15 minutes, and fairly straight forward assuming you take notes on the lectures. All quizzes and exams are online, open note.

I really enjoyed this class. This is, in my opinion, the best professor to take 115 with. All material is presented well and the tests are open book and open note, although done under time pressure.

The class is very dense on information, but he allows you to bring in cheat sheets for the exams. As long as you take. notes, you should easily get an A in this class.

Super nice professor, hard class but doable.

This class is very material-heavy and I found it very helpful to watch the online lectures he posted. it took me a while every week to watch the two lectures but I would transcribe what he's saying in the videos into my notes. he also lets you have two pages front and back for cheat sheet for the midterms and final and I put every word he said on those cheat sheets with size 7 font (which took me about 15 hours to make for each test) and did well in the class. This class takes a lot of time and can be frustrating but super rewarding and the tests are generally okay if you put the time in to prepare.

If you have taken the LS7 series, you will have a significantly easier time; for pure psychology majors, this is a challenging but doable class. Lectures move very fast, and while I chose to attend I knew many who preferred to watch the pre-recorded videos on Bruinlearn. In person however the professor was always available to answer questions.
Discussion sections aren't mandatory but I recommend attending. When I took it in F23, we could go to any discussion we wanted.
For the exams, you are allowed two double sided cheat sheets. Write down as much as you possibly can on them (while still having it be legible), because the exams test you on small details that were glossed over in lecture (but all the information you need will be in the slides). Aside from the exams, grades consists of weekly quizzes, two of which are dropped. Those are open note and open internet.

Hard class, could not keep up, too much information
