Online learning has been a disaster but this was the only class I looked forward to attending. German puts a lot of effort into her lectures and I found them all to be incredibly engaging and easy to understand. I feel like I learned a lot. She gives great opportunities to prepare for the test and has been very accommodating during this time.
Professor German is amazing. She is incredibly passionate about Psychology and that only makes learning in her class easier. She pre-recorded her lectures which was very helpful and she made herself available. With weekly tests and no midterm or final, this was a very well structured class. I highly, highly recommend!! She is incredible.
anyone who says this class is hard didnt put in enough work. Im the type of person who likes an easy class w an easy A and have been fortunate enough to do the bare minimum and still get an A in HS but for this class, I had to do a fair amount of work. but its college so its expected. shes great! take this class. very interesting!
This class was my least favorite and for good reason. The professor is not helpful outside of lecture because when I email her about my issues she doesn't respond to them at all. It's honestly so rude and uncaring of her, I had genuine questions or concerns and she doesn't even respond at all. This class was not good and I would not take it again.
Dr. Albada was so great this quarter. You can tell that she really put in the work to transition the course online and kept us on track with the material. She made me feel really capable of doing well in the class even though I was worried about understanding Stats. Very caring and sweet professor who challenges and encourages you in the best way.
I took this class as a GE, and I am so glad I did. Prof German is great! Shes understanding if you miss tests or can't make it to your section. Readings & lectures are fair, if you do both and have decent reading comprehension skills you'll get at least a B. Tests are straight from the readings/lectures. + The content you learn is SO interesting!
Honestly, I have mixed feelings. A good thing about this class is that if you put time and work in, easy A. However, that is only if you have a LOT of time. Very reading heavy class, bit of disorganized lectures, and hard exams. The professor comes across as rude in her emails and I've only emailed her 3 times in the quarter. Not bad but not good.
Exams Are Tough
I loved this class. Everyone who says the tests are super hard doesn't know how to take application based tests. Yes it is reading heavy, but I just take brief notes and watch the lectures and I have gotten an A on every test. I find the material super interesting! Please don't be discouraged and take this class if you are interested at all in psy
Dr. Woods is an extremely accommodating professor. She sends out weekly schedules that layout what you should be doing each day, always responds to emails, and she even personally emailed everyone who indicated that they were nervous about class being online. I haven't finished the course yet but the grade is heavily based on the research proposal
Professor Tamsin is a great professor. She is very cool and passionate. However, the class is extremely hard. Do not take it as GE. We were required to read a lot. Her lecture is a little disorganized so you have to pay attention to her words. There is a mini exam each week, and those exams are so hard. Be ready to spend a lot of time.
Such a great professor! She is super sweet and fun which keeps lectures engaging. Always answers questions in depth and tries her best to make sure everyone understands. All exams are lecture content heavy, pretty much all from lecture slides. If you pay attention in lecture and take good notes you will be fine!
Her tests were challenging because there were only 30 questions and not enough time to do calculations (like at all). Grade is made of 3 exams (lowest dropped) HW and attendance. Ecoach is EC. Overall her lectures are clear. Her tests are concept heavy so make sure you know what each part of the equation and pay attention to the R lab results.
Not the greatest but not the worst. She's very sweet and she makes us dance before every class. However, her lectures are very dull, she drags out concepts that are easy. She took one full hour to explain a term that I understood in 5 mins by self-studying. Her tests are fair but watch out for the paper, I got an 75% on the paper hence the B+.
Amazing class. The most engaging, fun lecture that I never missed the whole quarter. I will be raking any class Professor Woods offers in the future.
Of all of my professors, Dr. Woods made the switch to online curriculum the most bearable. She communicated throughout the week, and provided detailed suggestions for how you should organize your study time. She was very accommodating if you took the time to reach out.
Terrible lectures. Not understanding or accommodating. Never uploaded lectures on time. Lectures were so boring I had to speed them up just to get through it. Tests were impossible and required way too much analysis when we were given just over a minute per question. I would never take a class from German again.
I enjoyed her class. Her exams are hard but if you study well enough you can get a god grade. I took her during my spring quarter of 2020 during quarantine and she made the class worthwhile. Shes a good professor in general!
The transition to online learning was made extremely difficult by Professor Woods, as she increased the amount of work we would usually have had in a normal setting. I believe she did not care about the circumstances of the world during this class and offered little flexibility. So many assignments and much time expected for us to dedicate to them
Tests were tough, but you'll do well if you READ THE BOOK (a must) and take good notes in lecture. Something about the way she speaks makes it really hard to follow what she's saying. Test averages are usually a B. You have to read the book for this prof. But she's really nice and always available during office hours.
Woods is very passionate about the class and research methods. The class leads to a long research paper and Woods is very available to help and makes the assignment more understandable. Her tests require a deeper understanding of the material, but is very manageable if you study.
Shes a great lecturer but not a good professor. Her grading criteria is unrealistic & she takes off points for every little thing so your final grade is not a reflection of what you actually understand. Shes also not approachable at all & does not care about her students. Ive had many experiences with her being rude or impatient at office hours
She's very understanding and cares that you understand the concepts. She also puts up lecture slides and videos on how to do the calculation probs online. If you do your homework with the resources given to you, do the review sheets, and read the txtbk for unclear concepts, you'll do well. Honestly I think she's great
she IS the best
