PSY105 . Baham M E 5 Months Ago

This class was super chill. Lectures felt slow and she kind of rambled on a lot, but lecture slides were posted. Theres a lot of info, but the slides have everything you need to know. Tests were straight forward, quizzes were easy, I got docked points on my reflection assignments for stupid mistakes which was annoying but it didn't affect much.

Loved Prof. Baham. She is super understanding and drops the lowest reflection and quiz. You can retake quizzes till you pass too. Only thing is I feel sometimes her explanations are a little confusing but most of the time easy to clear up. Also loved her awkward humor haha.

PSY105 . Baham M E 1 Year, 30 Days Ago

Took 120L: Dr. Baham is nice enough but it was not good. Lectures are irrelevant to the research project that is the entire point of the class. Every week, there is an individual Eli review assignment, eli review peer review, in-lab group assignment and in-lab individual assignment. ELI assigned Thurs night due Fri night. TAs nice but unhelpful.

Professor Baham is truly so kind. Make sure to study for the midterm well. Exams are 70% of your grade being one midterm and one final. I recommend finding good study techniques like creating a question per slide/important term to ensure you understand the meaning/applicability. There are three reflection papers and they are graded easily.

PSY105 . Baham M E 1 Year, 7 Months Ago

I loved Baham, she is such a great lecturer and person all around. Pretty fair class despite having no study outline, just make sure to study everything since there is a lot of info, although mostly common sense. She loves what she does which makes it all better. Assignments and exams are all fair and not unfair at all. Take her classes if you can!

Baham is one of my favorite professors so far here. She's so passionate about what she's teaching, and she makes a lecture heavy class feel so exciting and interesting. Her exams are not difficult as long as you paid attention in class and reviewed each of the lecture slides (didn't need the book that much). Going to miss this course w/ her!
