Prof is nice and class is manageable. No midterms or final. As long as you keep up with lectures (recording available), you will be fine. Most grades come from weekly online exam (9 drop 2), which can be hard if you do not pay attention to lectures. Interesting class and highly recommended.

Professor German is great! PSY1 covers a lot of ground and serves as a good intro to psychological science as a whole field, although her developmental psych focus does show in an emphasis on infant research in lectures. Tests can be worded in a difficult way sometimes, so test-taking skills can be as important as knowing the content.

Favorite professor Ive had in college! Super well organized and I love the structure of her course and lectures

Finished the class with an 89 and she wouldn't round up. Most of your grade is based on a research paper that is graded by TA's and then only given final grade-no feedback on paper. Lecture heavy on material that isn't very relevant to final 10 page research proposal.

This class is the most chill I've taken. The lectures and content are very interesting. There's a fair amount of reading, but it was pretty interesting and not too difficult. The research participation could be the only turn-off for some people, but I liked them. German is very generous in the way she structures and grades. I definitely recommend.

Professor German is a great lecturer and made her class FUN! I always looked forward to going to class because the topics were very interesting and she included funny videos, etc. There is no midterm or final, and quizzes and exams are all online. She also lets you retake the quizzes as many times as you want! AWESOME professor!

Overall, the tests are not very difficult and will not drop your grade if you study and understand the material. What really can drop your grade is the research paper, many people do much worse than they thought and it will drop them at least a letter grade.

I absolutely loved this class! the structure is a powerpoint lecture every week. She made them fun with lots a videos. There are no midterms or finals in the class. There were 8 weekly tests. As long as you pay attention during lecture it is an easy A. All exams were open note and open book.

Sweetheart with a great sense of mental health awareness. The class is tailored more towards babies to correlate with the professor's research area. This isn't bad but it's not your typical into to Psych class. Read the textbook and watch the lectures. Questions are worded weird and can be tricky to pass the tests if not read carefully. Solid class

honestly very boring lecturer but if you pay attention and read you'll pass, the textbook is very needed but also lecture son info from the textbook, participating in psych studies is also needed,

She has been my favorite professor so far. Lectures are organized, recorded, and include video examples. She understands how students learn best and uses that in her teaching. Quizzes and Exams are weekly but all open note (so a lot of work, but easy) and Quizzes can be retaken until 100%. Just have to volunteer for some psych experiments but easy.

It is clear that she is passionate about psychology and she wants her students to succeed. Fair exams (open note for my section) and the proposal are the bulk of your grade. Mostly everything else graded on completion/effort. Tends to be a bit of a confusing lecturer and goes on unrelated tangents when answering questions. Start the proposal EARLY!

Talks more than she teaches

No final but there is an online test you have to take every friday. A lot of test material comes straight from the lectures so going to those is definitely helpful. On the quizzes after every lecture, you get multiple chances to take it. Overall it was an easy and interesting class.

Super interesting class, very broad, great for taking care of GE's. Prof. German is very fun, shows cat videos throughout class. I did all the reading and went to the majority of lectures and ended up doing pretty well.

Psy 1 with German is the perfect GE. Grading is largely determined by weekly take home, open note quizzes. If you read the textbook and payed attention in lecture, a B or A is basically guaranteed. Lectures themselves are well-organized and pertaining to the material at hand.

Lectures are interesting, though fast-paced. There are several opportunities to get a good grade but the exams are what matter most and are, oftentimes, extremely difficult considering that lots of questions/topics aren't even covered during lectures... No curve and Prof. refused to round my 92.33 to a 92.5 (which is an A for this class).

Such a great teacher! Took 10B with her and she was very nice and gave you all the information you needed to do well in her class. Definitely attend lecture and the lab sections but honesty if you do the work youll do great! I was super scared for this class but she made Statistics make sense

She's awesome! Super interesting lectures, and she makes the material easy to understand. You can tell she wants her students to succeed, and designs the class to make this happen! Definitely take her!

Tamsin is the best!! This is definitely a solid GE to take and a pretty easy class. Finished with an A but you definitely have to pay attention in lecture. Just graded on quizzes (which you can take as many times as you want) and the weekly tests. They werent too bad but can be lecture heavy so take good notes and focus on tests.

She is such a responsible and caring professor! Learning comes really naturally with her fun lectures and engaging course material. She also drops two lowest quiz grades out of eight so if you listen to lectures and take thoughtful notes you would definitely get a good grade. Take advantage of her office hours as they could be really helpful

Prof. Woods is great! Our big end-of-year project was a research proposal and she did well in preparing us for it through the quarter. Her lectures are easy to follow along, and not super difficult. She does coddle her students a little bit, but otherwise she is a super great professor.

Professor German is a great teacher. Her lectures are super relaxed and interesting. She gives little breaks in between lecture topics, so actually paying attention is easier. There are two quizzes a week, but they're not timed and you can take them as many times as you want. One test a week, open note, very easy. Easy GE.

Professor German is such a gem! Her lectures are engaging and fun, but also extremely interesting and they make me excited to go to class. She is so so great you should take her class!
