Collegeone of the best lecturers i've had and he's is a funny guy who cares a lot about this profession! go to his office hours to chat with him if you're interested in clinical psych. my tip is to do the study guide throughout the lecture and form study groups to solidify the material for your exams. an A is doable.
This will be a prof/class that I remember for life. One of the few classes that had high attendance the WHOLE quarter bc everyone was hooked. Fridlund is funny, kind, and is knowledgable/passionate about the content. I wish I could take another class with him & cannot recommend this class enough. Go to class, form a study group, and you'll do fine!
I loved this class and Professor Fridlund! Attendance isn't mandatory but I highly suggest attending. He is very funny and makes interesting commentary. Your grade depends entirely on your midterm and final which is very content-heavy. I regret not getting the textbook porbs would've ended up with A instead of B.
This professor is so fun. Made lectures digestible and provided good commentary on the material. Grade is solely based on midterm and final. Memorize the slides and read the book and you are guaranteed an A. Super fun and interesting class, highly recommend.
Professor Fridlund's lectures are engaging and insightful. With just a midterm and a final, the workload is manageable if you attend class, read the textbook, and utilize unstuckstudy ai for study prep.
The textbook is necessary for the articles written by Fridlund that are in the UCSB CUSTOM edition. It's possible to do well just by reading the slides and the textbook addenums, but Fridlund is a phenomenal lecturer, so I highly suggest attending. Fill out the fair game sheet and study it leading up to the exam - there's little room for error!
