CollegeIt feels impossible to get an A in this class honestly. This class is based off 3 exams only and it is honestly pretty difficult to get an "A" even if you study. I genuinely love health psychology but his exams were too tricky. I would say skip this class overall. If he curved the course it would be nice but he does not. :/
Prof Sherman is a nice guy, I really enjoyed the class but his exams are no joke. They're pretty ridiculous but he's been really accomodating during the pandemic, which is really appreciated.
Nice guy but confusing exam questions. The class is not difficult but make sure to read the book and read the lectures to succeed as exams are 50/50 book and lecture. Exams are non cumulative and the class is generally very interesting!
clear and concise lecturer, the class is really not a lot of work. grade is based on 3 tests, very fair
This class was a special topics class and the midterm and final were a paper very similar to the one you have to write for PSY 10 A (design an intervention). Very nice teacher and overall chill class. Only stressful when writing papers but otherwise easy and interesting and socially relevant!
3 exams equally determine your grade (not cumulative). Exams are an even split between the book and his lectures, not too difficult if you study. This class requires a lot of time for the readings but its not a difficult A.
