PSY106 . Scudder S L 28 Days Ago

Super amazing professor she is so passionate in helping her students really engage and understand the course. One of the best professors hands down. She really cares about student success and takes constructive criticism on her exams. There were 2 midterms, 1 final (non cumulative) and double sided cheat sheet.

PSY106 . Scudder S L 4 Months Ago

Loved the topics she taught in 106, along with her outlines of what is being taught is very straight forward and to the point. Very passionate for what she is teaching, and her grading scale is super fair, even if you do poorly on one exam, you can pick yourself up. 10/10

Really enjoyed taking 106 with her, attendance is not directly tracked but you should go to lecture

PSY106 . Scudder S L 10 Months Ago

Super interesting lecturer and great class. Clearly passionate about what she teaches. Explains things really well and gives you a cheat sheet for every exam. Final isn't cumulative and gives you other opportunities to get your grade up. Also makes your worst exam score count less than your best exam score, if you bomb a test can still do well.

I love Dr. Scudder!!! She was an amazing professor and really cared about her students succeeding. She is very sweet and passionate about neuroscience. The course was set up to help you- weekly quizzes and discussions, 3 tests, multiple choice, front and back cheat sheet allowed (she gives templates of info to know too), and a super simple essay.
