PSYCH106 . Scudder S L 5 Years Ago

Dr. Scudder is a great lecturer! The lectures, discussion and readings really helped for the exam. There were weekly quizzes but they weren't too bad and were based off lectures. Overall, she did well explaining the material and had review sessions before exams which helped a lot.

Dr. Scudder truly is a wonderful, brilliant professor. I was really nervous taking this class, because I struggled with a past bio class, but she definitely sets you up for success if you watch the lectures and take some gold notes. She really cares about students and it shows!

In the midst of this pandemic, she's honestly done an amazing job with creating well designed lecture recordings that keep you interested. She's v good at explaining and relating difficult concepts, too. Also love that the lectures are asynchronous. I'd definitely take her if you get the chance, she's amazing!!

PSY10A . Scudder S L 1 Year, 9 Months Ago

Scudder is an amazing professor! Her lectures are very detailed and provides lots of examples. The exams weren't too bad and they're only weighted 15% each since you have a 8-10 pg research proposal paper that is 30% of your grade. You work on your paper and get feedback throughout the entire course during your lab sections so don't worry about it!

PSY320 . Scudder S L 2 Years Ago

Dr. Scrudder was a pretty fair teacher overall. I had her for biopsychology which personally is where psychology gets a bit hard and confusing, but I did actually learn some useful things here. In my experience, she was slow to reply to messages and slower at grading than others. But that wasnt much of an issue in the long run.

PSY320 . Scudder S L 3 Years Ago

Took her at CSUDH (psychopharmacology). I was worried about taking this class but she made it very interesting and easy to understand. 3 exams, 5 worksheets, 3 disc. There is a LOT of information to cover in this class especially if you are not familiar with science. Tests and worksheets are open notes. She is helpful and responds to questions.

PSY111 . Scudder S L 4 Years Ago

Actually had her for 111 and 133. Both class have a two take home exams open for 5-6 days open note and all but are difficult and then around 4 worksheets for the quarter. 133 was a very interesting class, no textbooks super good prof! Records lectures and posts if you can't make it in person.

PSY111 . Scudder S L 4 Years Ago

Professor Scudder is easily one of my favorite professors that I have had in my four years at UCSB! She split lectures up by topic, so everything was very organized. The lectures themselves were incredibly concise yet somehow still very detailed, which I loved. Tests were challenging but not bad if you knew the material, weekly quizzes aren't bad.
