PSY145 . German T C M 2 Years Ago

so witty and just an overall amazing human being. you're graded by multiple things (papers, quizzes, exams) and she gives LOTS of opportunities for extra credit. she presented the material so well and i found the course really engaging. i loved doing the assignments and she gave great feedback. if you can, take one of her courses!!

HORRIBLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Treats students like numbers in a system, could care less about extenuating circumstances or out of school issues. Would nott recommend

She is a great professor! Will give you the help you are looking for, but she does low-key try to trick you on quizzes. The way she words her questions and answers makes you think.

PSY145 . German T C M 6 Years Ago

The best professor I have had at UCSB. The subject itself is very interesting but German makes them easy to understand/entertaining by using pop culture ex. No textbook. Go to class so you can learn the details of the studies she presents, or else you'll only get a brief overview which isn't enough info to ace the tests. Lot of ways to get an A

My favorite professor at UCSB - she could make Psychology of Watching Paint Dry interesting. Posts the slides online, but you need to go to class because a lot of the slides are just examples from studies that she elaborates on. No text book, so make sure you take good notes. Tests are fair, literally right off the lectures.

Easiest class ever, quiz online once a week, section attendance does matter, as long as you show up you'll get the points, no midterm or final

LOVE her so much. First class I ever took at UCSB and I made the best choice. Super engaging and genuinely interesting material. She is very understanding and lenient. Grades are basically just from quizzes, which are all online, and participation in sections. Very light but fun course, highly recommend.

Professor German was honestly one of my favorite professors during fall quarter. I took Psy 1 just for the credits but learned so much and it was actually super interesting. Super easy class and attendance is not mandatory. Grades are based on section attendance, weekly worksheets and open-note quizzes. Definitely take it!

Good lecturer but sometimes I cannot hear her words clearly. Love the cat videos she shown on screen at the start of every class. No midterm and final. Just weekly quiz. Easy to get a good grade.

Amazing lecturer. Very lenient grading. Overall a very easy class. The class is based on weekly quizzes (~20 q's multi-choice), weekly cyu's (graded on completion), and section participation. She gives you the opportunity to make up all missed quizzes and to re-take your lowest-score quiz. You can just use "A.cademic I.ntegrity" on all the quizzes

This isthe best class I have taken. Super light, quiz once a week but most of the answers you'll find in the lecture same with the weekly worksheets. Professor German was delightful!!! Always helpful and showed videos of her cats before lecture. Attendance is not mandatory, but it is nice to go.

LOVE HER! Easy class. No final or midterm, just research requirements. Every week have to do one quiz and a worksheet about the topics (graded on completion). Definitely would take it again, Professor German is the best, and the cat videos before lectures lighten the class.

the easiest class i have taken at UCSB (thought, I did take AP psych in hs). The homework was graded on completion and there was quizzes that were open note. No midterm or final, you get the option to participate in studies (which you can do online) you only need to do 3, the alternative is a paper. She also showed her cat (hes cute) my fav lesbian

She was so chill and funny. Made class enjoyable to go to. Had 2 assignments a week, one online quiz and one lecture guide note taking thing that was graded for completion. So easy you should definitely take! She was also so nice and her lectures were super interesting!

Intro to psych with her was possibly the easiest class I will ever take. 60% of the grade was free points you just got for completing assignments and 40% was take home quizzes that were open note. Interesting funny lectures as well shows cat videos every class.

I only have good things to say about professor German. I only took this course because it was an easy GE but I think I also kinda fell in love with her in the process. She's kinda quirky and connects concepts to pop culture (which is awesome). She shows cat videos in the beginning of each lecture which is also super awesome. Highly recommend.

I loved Prof German. She is so organized and such a good lecturer that I didn't have to hard-core study. Her lectures were so captivating that you remember everything. She also posts detailed slides and your grade is based on quizzes (that are based on the lectures), participation, HW, and being in psych studies. It was so fun and interesting.

Professor German is a great and caring professor, she is always very engaged with the material and is emanates passion for psychology. This is a very interesting but easy GE class to take, weekly quizzes and check your understanding sheets are the bulk of the (small) workload for the quarter.

Great class with interesting topics. It's a super easy GE if you need it, but I would highly recommend the class as it's easy to get a good grade simply by trying and doing your assignments. Professor was very kind and easy to talk to at office hours, in addition to being very engaging at lectures. Lectures are posted online if necessary!

Does a very good job at making you interested in course content and she covers all information clearly. You don't have to go, however, as all slides are posted and are all that is needed to complete weekly reflections and quizzes.
