Funny professor, but is very lecture heavy! Talks about terms not in the book in lecture so make sure to show up! Grade is based only on one midterm and final exam which include 80+ terms to conceptualize but gives you a fair game sheet with all the terms you should know. Don't take unless your a psych major as this isn't an easy GE.

I absolutely loved prof fridlund and his class. Genuinely the most interesting class Ive ever taken and the way fridlund presents the material makes it never boring. Your grade is based on only tests but he has a fair game sheet so there really arent any curveballs. He has a good sense of humor and cares about his students.

Grade consists of only a midterm worth 100 points and a final worth 150 points. However, he curved both the midterm and final by a few points and then curved the overall course grade at the end too! Questions on test can be a bit tricky, but just fill out the fair game sheet as he covers the material in class and review it and you'll be fine!

Fridlund is really nice and his lectures are interesting. The exams are pretty straightforward and easy as long as you read, go to each lecture, and take notes. There really is no way to fail unless you're not studying/doing the readings. He even posts fair game sheets which include all the topics he will include into the midterm and final.

The material was very interesting, however dont take this as an easy GE. The class requires a lot of reading and the book is expensive. The midterm is a lot harder than the final. Grades based solely off midterm score and final. Ended up passing with a C after I bombed the final and studied a lot of the final.

This class was very entertaining. Fridlund is passionate about his subject and makes his lectures engaging and humorous. You do have to read a lot, but the online book is well organized and easy to understand. Just show up, read the textbook, study for the exams and you'll do fine!

If youre interested in psych youll enjoy his lectures, tangents and all. Hes funny, but apparently hes offensive to some people which I dont get. Grade is based on tests only, all multiple choice. Midterm didnt seem too difficult to me. Made a collective study guide, studied for 2 days and got a B. Never used the book, just lecture notes.

The content of the class was amazing.... the professor, however, was not. He grades solely on the midterms and finals, which in my opinion is horrifying as it's hard to distinguish the professor's style in asking questions. Also, he doesn't grade on an average curve rather he uses the top score.

Very engaging lecturer, but he's rude

Don't take for an easy GE! He digressed A LOT in lectures so we had to learn most of the content by ourselves (online book), but it was a lot of work to keep up with and even though I read more than my peers, the midterm and final (no other assignments) were really difficult for me. You'd have to study hardcore everyday to get an A. Funny guy tho

Professor Fridlund is a passionate professor. If you are interested in the subject, lectures are pretty interesting and engaging. Reading is a lot but its an easier read compared to other classes. Midterm/final are tricky but try keeping up with the fair game sheet with good notes he posts on Gauchospace.

Fridlund can be crass but makes the class interesting. SO MUCH READING you need to buy the textbook online version and take hefty notes in lecture. Grade depends on a midterm and a final, and as with any psych class, you need to participate in 6 hours/credits of research on SONA. Do not take as an easy GE, it'll prob break your GPA

Professor Fridlund is a great professor. Lectures are pretty interesting, but you need to put in the work. If you do the readings and keep up with the fair game sheet he posts on Gauchospace, it is completely possible to do well.

Extremely funny and engaging. Lectures were fun and the content was interesting. Class is an easy A if you read and go to lecture. His tests may be a bit difficult but if you have a solid understanding of the material you should be fine. Go to section or you'll miss a bunch of new information not in lecture.

This was the most interesting class I've ever taken and Dr. Fridlund is hilarious. However, if you're not planning on being a Psych major I wouldn't take the class because it will wreck your GPA. I got a D on the midterm and studied my ass off for the final and got a B- on it. Not the best choice for a GE unless you want to work SUPER hard.

He rambles a lot and doesn't believe in climate change, but the tests aren't too hard if you study right. He also referred to black people as 'the blacks' and is a little sexist, but I got an A so...

One of the best professor I ve ever met. Respectful and humorous. Lecture is interesting but also a lot of reading assignment. Grade by 2 exam which is not easy. Btw, textbook is quite expensive but would be ok if sharing with others.

This class was great and very interesting. The professor made lectures fascinating and is very hilarious. Midterm and final were pretty tough and your grade is based solely on those two assignments so make sure you form study groups and keep up with the reading and lecture notes.

Funniest and most interesting class I've taken in my life. This guy is HILARIOUS. Also very nice and approachable, humble. You should show up to every lecture, he will mention things on the final that don't show up in the readings.

Pretty good

Professor Fridlund is great. He is very in tune with the class and is guaranteed to make you laugh at least once. I took this course as a GE however he made it so interesting that I may look into psychology. The only catch is that your grade relies solely on the midterm, final, and studies you participate in.

He's a really nice guy and his lectures were fun at times. I personally think his exams are too difficult. I attended all lectures and took very detailed notes and read the book on topics I needed more info on. His exams were tricky and I feel like he could have made them much easier. Class is a lot of information. Get ready to study a lot.

The majority of test easy to do well on as long as you went to lecture and did the reading, but there were some trick questions that were worded weirdly/had multiple possible correct choices. Your whole grade is a midterm and a final. Lectures were interesting. He had weird rules about all seats having to be filled before starting new rows, etc.

Entire class grade was based on the midterm and final, so if you mess up on one, your grade for the class was going to be trash. Lectures were funny though, he's a thoughtful professor but sections didn't do much and there is way too much information.
