CollegeClass material is pretty basic/should be review from 10A, and midterm/final are online and overall pretty easy points. Focus on lab and doing the experiments/writeups, those impact your grade the most. Ask the TA to look over your papers before submitting to get a good grade. The TAs are very helpful and open!
I don't love her as a professor (she's dull and doesn't seem confident in her presentations) but her TA Alex made this course way better. He is awesome and passionate about you and the topic. This is a chill course to take for your lab requirement, just not all that interesting even if you enjoy cognitive/memory research. Don't have to buy a book!
Professor Hegarty is such an amazing and caring professor. Really understanding, quizzes and exams aren't too hard and overall very fair, lectures are clear and straightforward. Likes to interact with her students.
Lectures are clear (but you still have to read the textbook if you want to get good grades in the exams), and materials and experiments are pretty interesting. Prof. Hegarty cares about her students outside class. You can tell that she doesn't want her students' life to be difficult. Definitely take her PSY108.
Clear professor and real interesting material. Lectures can be quite brutal to go through sometimes, but she really knows her stuff. Also pretty accommodating and really cares for her students!
Professor Hegarty was a great professor! She's clear about what she expects and tests fairly. Go to lecture and read the textbook and you should do great! She's also really approachable, passionate about the subject, and always willing to help outside of class. Grades are based on weekly quizzes, zaps, and tests.
