her class felt like we had no other classes going on and had all the time in the world for that one class. the things worth 5% took hours to do but the things worth 20% suspiciously took 2 minutes? graded the take home exam super harshly and was overall annoying. no.

Her lectures are interesting. No midterms or final, 1 exam and 2 quizzes per week, open book. Lectures are posted online. Highly recommended!

weekly 20 question quizzes so super manageable w/no cumulative exams! pretty clear expectations and you get quizzes with unlimited attempts after each lecture so you get practice questions fro weekly quizzes. super flexible professor

this professor is in my top 3 at UCSB. i had a family situation going on when i was in her class and she was so supportive of me during that time. whenever I had a question, I could always ask her after class or over email. the class is definitely super heavy in terms of lecture, and the proposal is worth 30 percent, but she's a good prof!

Professor German is amazing! Her lectures are very interesting and well-paced, and always posted online. Mostly graded on the weekly exams that are open-note and online, so as long as you do good on those you'll be fine. Two weekly quizzes that you get infinite attempts on, and sections are interesting and engaging. Highly recommend

Professor German has interesting, clear lectures. The class is extremely structured and every test/assessment is open note. She wants you to do well and this class. Homework load is predictable each week and very manageable.

Lectures posted online (slides&recording), very organized, videos to illustrate concepts/studies. Weekly online tests very fair if you listen to lectures. Reading TB helped on exams, but they're mostly based on lectures. Sections graded on participation, lowest 2 dropped. No final/midterm. Great instructor who wants students to have fun learning.

two weekly quizzes based on lectures, one weekly exam (all are open note), but no final or midterm! i love dr. german she is such a good lecturer and the ta's are all super helpful if you can get one with rosencrance i would highly recommend; there is an online textbook, but i didn't get it and was fine. take this class you won't regret it!

Professor German is literally fantastic. I love her and she is amazing. She explains everything so well and I really appreciate how we don't have a midterm or final exam. Lectures are always great and engaging, very interesting too. I have so much respect for her and she will always be one of my favorite professors here at UCSB. Take this class!!!!

She really loves psychology and includes videos of her cats at home. There is no final or midterm, you just have two quizzes per week and an exam every other week. As for quizzes you can retake them as many times as you want so you can get a perfect score every time. Overall an amazing prof and I would definitely recommend this class to everyone.

Her lectures are genuinely really interesting, and she's a super cool professor. The readings are also interesting, but they can take a bit of time, so try not to fall behind. As long as you watch the lecture (in person or online since she posts them) and do the reading, you'll get an A.

I found Dr. Woods engaging and caring. Tests were fair, lots of different things go into the grade so plenty of ways to get points. Research paper is daunting but follow guidelines and start early. Dr. Woods was super helpful one on one and made herself extra available when the TAs struck. Overall loved this class!

It's an easy class but make sure you buy the online textbook as it will sometimes be tested in weekly quizzes.

Absolutely amazing professor! The lectures are well organized and engaging. She includes breaks between sections to show videos of her cats, and even if you can't attend her lectures, her lectures are posted online. There is one take-home exam per week, but they are typically pretty easy with your lowest score being dropped. Highly recommended!

I spent a lot of time on the proposal and followed the A examples to a T. However, I still only received an A- on the paper. All the prep and busy work didn't help me do any better on the proposal, as I had changed all my details by the final paper anyways. Lectures were long and she took a long time to explain simple concepts. Hardish tests

Woods is not understanding or helpful. She is very strict and straightforward and does not put in effort to empathize with students. Her lectures are good but the class is unorganized and she is not very accommodating.

PSY 1 was my favorite class last quarter due to her engaging and confident way of lecturing. Weekly exams (only exams!) are simple if you read the book and participate. She also gives lots of extra credit opportunities and some extensions, which I did not need. You will do well if as long as you try. A brilliant, passionate professor I recommend.

Honestly this was not a hard class just a lot of reading and exam prep if you want to do well. What killed me was the weekly exams on Monday. After exam 3 I praying for this class to end and it never did. I would rather have a class with a midterm and a final than the never-ending weekly exams that never give you a weekend to recover.

This is a very well-designed course, and it's harder than PSY 10A. Your grade is based on assignments (take 3-5hrs to complete), quizzes (study in advance), participation, and lab section (1.5hrs). Lectures are conceptually heavy so you end up really understanding the material. Grading criteria is clear. I spent around 5-10 hrs/week on this course.

Engaging lectures, solid professor very organized, gives good examples during class, critical thinking involved for exams and quizzes this class.

Professor Tamsin's lectures are very enjoyable and she always starts with a kitten of the day video. There is weekly reading for this class, however, it is very manageable. She also doesn't assign major exams but weekly ones that you can take from home. You are also given the leniency to drop your lowest exam score.

Shes a good professor but her exam questions are pretty wordy! She has a quiz every week

The lectures are pretty laid back including the weekly exams. Just make sure to really understand the topics and the check your understanding quizzes for each topic as they really do help. Try to get 100% in all of the small quizzes they help a lot and you are able to retake them as many times as youd like.

Truly a great professor she knows so much and is super easy to listen to. This subject is very interesting and the workload is not bad at all. On the plus side she plays cute cat videos every 5 seconds and seems like a great person who cares about her students. Would 100% take a class with her again she's awesome and a staple here.
