Collegehas some really interesting optional lectures about her papers and other topics, but the rest of the lectures are basically standard upper div psyc stuff. tests are pretty difficult, study the lectures and the book. %40 midterm and %40 final, plus %20 paper responses which i think are just graded on completion
There's a lot to ready but it's mostly the same material as lecture. The in-person exams are somewhat difficult. The grading scheme is 3 easy assignments worth 20% total and 2 exams.
Professor Jacobs is super sweet, but she's using online lectures from a different professor in a flipped classroom style. You're not actually taking a class from Jacobs which is a bummer. The lectures and material are super dense and the other professor is difficult to follow. It's hard to stay on top of everything.
Dr. Jacobs is really cool but with the online option this quarter, it seems like the class is a little harder to stay on top of than in person. She has online lectures from a previous prof posted and we are supposed to learn of the other prof's lectures for her tests. She seems really nice and passionate about the subject.
