Did PSY 111 as a flipped course. Very informative and did a great job explaining hard material. Also a lot of exam questions are on the study guides.

Initially, I didn't get the structure at all. I stopped going to lectures after week 5. Started using lecture time to study and make flashcards and it paid off. If you write clear notes and understand basic college study strategies you'll be alright. Study hard before tests and you will do well.

Professor Janusonis really cares about his students and you can tell he's passionate about the subject. This was by far one of the most interesting classes I've taken at UCSB. Grading is fair and he even changed the grade breakdown at the end of the quarter so students could raise their grades with the final.

Lecture slides often out of order, quickly breezes over material that needs way more explanation. Structure: watch 1hr lecture (takes 2hrs), then go to class to go over the same slides+ more. 2 midterms and final online, and up to 3% added to grade for an essay q graded on completion. Class can be frustrating, but A is very doable.

I took Psy111/211 in 2022. I really don't understand the negative feedback. Dr. Kippin is such a chill guy and you basically only have to watch and understand the lectures. Just put some effort into it and you'll be rewarded. Also, he knows his stuff.

His lectures are very loaded but watching them a couple times definitely helps! He was very chill during the pandemic, easy A as long as you do the quizzes and pay attention.
