PSY102 . Yu H 8 Days Ago

Dr Yu is very sweet and makes it easy for you to get an A. Midterms are super fair and final's a little harder, but you get a cheat sheet. The drop-in ULA sessions are super helpful. Attendance is optional and he posts videos and such detailed lecture notes (!!!) which were amazing

PSY102 . Yu H 12 Days Ago

Such a sweet and knowledgeable professor. Interesting course material. Lectures can be fast paced and sometimes confusing since there is a lot of material. GO TO THE STUDY SESSIONS! The ULA's are great and really help with reviewing material. Two midterms, 6 online quizzes, and a final. Multiple guest lectures as well. Great upper div option.

PSY102 . Yu H A Month Ago

the sweetest prof ever! lectures are recorded and readings are optional and the tests are rlly easy, I attended lecture & rewatched them to study. the only issue was it was a bit difficult to hear him, but other than that great class!

PSY102 . Yu H 3 Months Ago

Lectures not mandatory & posts them afterwards. Lots of guest speakers. 5 weekly quizzes (4% each). Variable weighting for midterms + final (20% worst 25% middle 35% best). Exams are only on lecture materials. Double sided cheat sheets for midterms and 2 for final. Kinda boring but fair and easy upper div. Prof is super understanding and nice too.

PSY102 . Yu H 3 Months Ago

Dr. Yu is a super sweet and awesome professor. The content is very interesting in social neuroscience and history&culture psych. Textbook is not necessary but helpful. Two midterm and a cumulative final covers 80% of grade, 20% for 5 quizs. Tests are easy as long as you review the studies and concepts. Accessing OH and Study Guide are very helpful.
