PSY 1 was super easy but interesting. I'd definitely recommend it as a GE.
I loved this class it was very informative and a great intro to psychology. Lectures kept you interested, she even gave phone breaks throughout topics.
The grading system is very flexible; you can drop your lowest score in every category. There's no midterm or final, just weekly quizzes. The material was pretty interesting and Professor German showed a fun cat video at the beginning of each lecture. It was a very chill class overall and I would recommend it if you need an easy GE.
very straightforward class, easy one too. she gets you involved by having students participate in research studies, and the actual classwork is a breeze. if you are familiar with psych at all, this class can be done with eyes closed. definitely attend/watch her lectures, because weekly quizzes she does are entirely based on them. sections suck tho
