CollegeVery straightforward in terms of grading criteria. Lectures well on the intricacies of the psychology academic papers department.
Went to multiple office hours of hers, and she is the most understanding and caring professor I have had in a while. She really tries to get closer to her students, plus she knows this class is a pre-major requirement and is tedious at times but tries to get her students to engage as much as possible. Def recommend, just pay attention to deadlines!
I took Dr. Baham's class for PSY10A and thought she did an amazing job given what the course is. While the research is fun, learning the vocabulary and structure is not, and the professor knows this. Still, she tells jokes, smiles with her audience, and answers questions as thoroughly as possible. Going to miss her for sure!
Dr. Baham structured the class in a rigid and straightforward path that after the earlier PSY courses will make sense and allow for an enriching experience for research basics. She's ready to work with you and kind, I found she gave really helpful feedback throughout. The final paper will be a slog for those who wait, along with the 2nd exam.
Good class, very easy to do well. Weekly quizzes based on lecture and 3 reflection one-pagers that were super simple. Midterm and final had repeat questions and were very straightforward. Only thing is the lecture slides seemed like word for word from the textbook so kind of boring and she kind of reads off them. But material is really interesting
She was very sweet and made clear rubrics with examples for each assignment. Can get an A if you have a simple topic you care about and follow rubrics. Two midterms, just make a quizlet of the info from the slides, learn from that and you'll be fine, readings aren't needed. Final paper seemed hard but the sections prepare you well for writing it.
