She was genuinely kind and cared about the subject and her students
Easiest class ever, quiz online once a week, section attendance does matter, as long as you show up you'll get the points, no midterm or final
Fun professor, lectures are recorded, and quizzes are asynchronous. Overall very enjoyable class.
LOVE her so much. First class I ever took at UCSB and I made the best choice. Super engaging and genuinely interesting material. She is very understanding and lenient. Grades are basically just from quizzes, which are all online, and participation in sections. Very light but fun course, highly recommend.
Very good professor easy class easy layout overall great class.
Professor German was honestly one of my favorite professors during fall quarter. I took Psy 1 just for the credits but learned so much and it was actually super interesting. Super easy class and attendance is not mandatory. Grades are based on section attendance, weekly worksheets and open-note quizzes. Definitely take it!
