Really interesting lectures and content that was organized pretty well. Make sure to understand the experiments covered in lecture in addition to the other material. Exams were straightforward.

Love this professor and this class. Lectures, quizzes, and exams were very well structured. As long as you understand the experiments and what they mean, you will do fine on the exams. The only complaint I have is that the article summary was graded super hard, but other than that I loved PSY 105 with Liberman.

I think her lectures and slides were extremely interesting and I learned a ton from the weekly articles. The article summary was graded really hard but other than that, the tests were fair and the weekly quizzes are unlimited attempts. If you really study the lectures and articles, you will do fine on exams. The professor seems sweet too!

Great professor and her lectures are so interesting, I'm surprised by all the negative reviews. As long as you go to lectures, it's an easy A. There are weekly readings but I never did them and still found both exams to be pretty easy. There are also three article summaries but you get full credit for two of them just by turning something in.

Literally awful to deal with. Good class tho

Honestly, she is a very inconsiderate, unkind professor. Will not listen to your situations even though they are valid, and grades the article summary incredibly harshly (it's 20% of our grade!). While the material itself is straightforward, I would not recommend this professor to anyone

Incredibly difficult professor to deal with. The class itself is fair, however, if you have any issues and have proper documentation of it she is absolutely awful to deal with. She is incredibly rude and does not understand even when you repeatedly try to explain. Does not respond to emails in a timely manner and when she does shes pretty rude.

Super easy class imo, really interesting lectures and clearly very passionate about her work. You can take the quizzes until you get 100% and 2/3 writing assignments are graded only on completion. Highly recommend for psych.

Honestly I wonder if this class has changed significantly since these negative reviews, because the class is good now. Fair exams, two writing assignments, good lectures- and she seemed nice when I talked to her. Though I didn't really have any real issues or to go office hours, so take that with a grain of salt. No textbook, just studies to read.

Very interesting and interactive lectures. Genuinely enjoyed the class and thought her exams were reasonable. Her grading percentages were very fair and didn't completely rely on just exams.

Pleasant voice, easy lectures, organized, 1Midterm18%, ArticleReview19%, Final23%, participation w unlimited attempt quiz/DB. I got high B's on both tests and was able to pull an A. 2 short readings/week. Past lectures posted. Tests in person. Article summ. graded harder than should. Screenshot rubric frm practice review(disappears) for graded one.

Solid class! Dr. Liberman knows her stuff and her lectures were fun and interesting. This was the only class of the quarter that I actually looked forward to going to every day! Grading is fair overall, and exams are very doable if you study.

Good professor, her ratings should be higher. Class structure was simple and easy. 2 exams and a graded article summary. All the other assignments are gimmes. Overall, a fun course, would recommend!

Dr. Liberman is a very kind, if research-oriented, professor. Her lectures are information heavy, but most of the work is straightforward and based solely on completion/has infinite attempts. Only one writing assignment is graded for quality, and if you tried on the practices, the real one is simple. Keep an eye out for "NOT" questions on exams!

Prof. Liberman is good! Use lectures and previous quizzes to study for exams, skimming through studies is helpful too. Her grading system is nicely balanced. Some people say she's 'like a robot' (That's rude) - she may be a bit shy, but she is super accessible and will definitely throw you a bone if you ask for one kindly!

I genuinely can't comprehend why she has so many bad ratings - this class was super interesting and fairly easy! Professor Liberman's lectures are concise and keep you engaged throughout the class period. She is always available for help outside of class and clearly explains her expectations for assignments. The tests were also not too difficult!

I am really unsure why she has so many 1 star reviews. This class is very easy to be completely honest. As long as you go to lecture you do not have to do the article readings because she goes over the study in class. The tests a very easy as long as you listen in lecture. I would take it again if I could super easy, loved the format! Great class!

Not sure why she has so many 1/5 reviews, but this professor for Psy105 was honestly the best I can ask for. I only attended class twice (1x for mt, 1x for final) because she uploads previous year lecture videos online. Extremely fair grading criteria, easy tests, don't even have to show up and great lecturer. Would take again any day of the year.

Professor Liberman awesome! Her tests are kind of hard but so long as you read and understand the research papers assigned, you should be able to pass with a C. The wording is somewhat tricky/confusing but not enough to make you fail. Her lectures were interesting and she is very passionate about what she teaches.

She's such a sweet person! The class was mainly lectures and article readings s it was easy to keep up with. Every lecture has a dog video and she really knows what she's talking about.

2 is best i can give

She made my WORST experience at UCSB. Thanks to her that I finally know how bad a prof can be. Really not accessible, unfriendly, not empathetic at all, and like a robot.

TOO MUCH WRITING ASSIGNMENTS FOR A PSYCH CLASS!!!! SHE AND THE TA RARELY REPLY TO EMAIL ON TIME. AND NOT REALLY HELPFUL

I mean this is seriously the worst grade I ever had not trying to show off. And this prof does not even round up the grades which is really confusing. She seems like really nice to give extra 1% which actually doesnt help at all.
