PSY106 . Scudder S L 5 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.

She's been teaching this class awhile and you can tell. She rocks. exams weighted 15/20/25% based on your worst-best exam, weekly quizzes 7%, participation 13%, writing assignment 10%. can bring a front and back cheat sheet to exams.

Phenomenal professor, her lectures were extremely clear and easy to follow. Her exams were also very fair according to what she taught during lectures. One of the most interesting classes I've taken at ucsb by far.

PSY106 . Scudder S L 8 Months Ago

Super sweet lecturer who is very passionate about the subject. I personally found the lectures kind of boring but that's party because the material isn't all that interesting to me. 3 exams and weekly quizzes + discussions w/ a very fair and generous grading policy. Exams can be hard but she provides many study resources. Lectures have iclicker.
