Good class, fairly easy. He posts notes and powerpoints online. He's entertaining during lectures. The sections are a bit pointless and the experiments are annoying but it's an interesting class. Just read the stuff that's on the fairgame sheet and you'll be in good shape.

Alan Fridlund is a great professor, highly intelligent and capable guy. Lectures are enjoyable and interesting. Does his best to make the material relevant and fun, Alan is a really funny guy. Weekly readings are interesting. Midterm is harder than final because of the biology. STUDY the fair game sheet and lecture notes and you'll get a good grade

great teacher! very funny and very helpful. Hes very clear on whats going to be on the teach. study the fair game sheet (which is also appreciated) and youll be fine.

funny guy, looks like a smurf with blue-tinted powerpoint shining on his face. easy to listen to and learn from. hes a bad-ass too- all you have to do to succeed in his class is show up, listen, and read your book once a week for an hour. its good reading, too. fridlund wrote it himself.

Funny and interesting what more can you ask for from a lecture

Not only should you read the book, but go to class, it helps reinforce the material. ALSO for the midterm KNOW ALL THE PARTS OF THE BRAIN! He curves the whole class not only on midterm and final but also on final grades. Just know the fairgame sheet and the brain and the class is no problem--but if you can't memorize things easily don't take it.

READ THE BOOK. READ THE BOOK. i got an F on the midterm bc I didn't read. read 2nd half of the quarter and got a B on the final. experiments were fun. interesting class just a little bit hard. very "vulgar" prof (curses and makes sex jokes) but you can't help but laugh.

Funny professor. The class was pretty easy. You just have to study the material and understand the concepts. You have the option of doing experiments instead of writing a paper. Make sure to know the terms on the fair game sheet and you'll be okay.

Extremely interesting class and he teaches it very well. As far as tests go, READ THE BOOK!! His tests are really hard and you really have to study the concepts for them. The trick is too really get the fair game sheet down. He takes questions directly from it. Recommended professor.

Although his lectures are really interesting, the tests are rediculously hard. Reading the book is not enough. If you want to get an A in the class you should probably read the book at least 2 times.

He is a really good professor. His lectures are interesting and so is most of the reading. His test are tricky, even if you know the material you still have to take your time w/ the midterm and final. Take this class!

This class is my world! I still found it fairly difficult, but I really like his enthusiasm. Some people say he makes fun of the mentally ill, but I think he is just trying to really illustrate a point and get you involved in abnormal psych. He's really super cool and the class is really interesting, so I would totally recommend it!

Amazing lecturer, really engaging and passionate about material. Hands on demonstrations even in a 900 person class. Tests are fairly difficult, multiple choice. Got a B in both classes with moderate studying. Well worth taking, information really sticks. Took both PSY 1 and 103

The lectures went by so freakin fast cuz he helps the class engage with what he's talking about at the time.

His tests are hard, specific, and in depth! But thats college. Lectures are important to attend. Good, clear, and interesting professor.

GO TO CLASS AND PAY ATTENTION. He mainly reads off of his slides, but he'll give a lot of clarifying details and stories that you can't get from just looking at the slides online. He is so relaxed and fun and I loved going to class! He loves answering questions in the middle of class.

The best professor EVER! Could not wait to go to class because he was so funny and interesting. Very casual in class, he wore flip-flops and would encourage us to shout out answers. You must attend class every time if you want to do well in the class. Final is half lecture and half reading. Gives a fair game sheet and final is non cumulative.

Dr. Fridlund is an amazing professor. Truly loves teaching and psychology and is very casual while teaching, he wear flip-flops to class and will encourage students to participate and shout out answers. But, you need to read and show up to lectures in order to be prepared for the final. Gives a fair game sheet so you know what is on his tests.

This class is pretty easy. You can get an A if you just do the reading and pay attention in lecture. Very interesting and entertaining professor. The reading isn't that bad and the material you learn isn't complicated at all. He is very fair and there's only 1 midterm and 1 final. (You also need 6 experiment credits which are REALLY easy to get).

Fridlund is possibly the funniest professor I've ever had. I never missed any of his lectures not only because I needed to go to them to do well in the class, but also because they were really entertaining. The midterm and final were very easy, so you'll likely get a good grade if you study.

Excellent, clear and knowledgeable about the subject. Definitely is one of my favorite professors I have had. Strongly recommend

VERY FUNNY & ENTERTAINING. Should be an easy class if you put SOME time into reading & attempt to understand the terms & concept. A lot of the material is just common sense. Loved the class & the video he showed us, but I recommend reading. I didn't read or study & got a flat B...would have done it differently if I could. I am a lazy person.

One thing that set's Fridlund aside from other Psych 1 professors is his use of the fair game sheet and the final is not cumulative. This makes me believe his class is easier than Revlin. The class itself is extremely interesting and highly recommended.

Ridiculously interesting class
