PSY160TG . German T C M 3 Years Ago

By far one of the top best professors in the PBS department. She is so caring, welcoming, and really enthusiastic to interact with. I took both of her PSY 145 and PSY160 courses and based on my experience she teaches beautifully. Her exams are transparent and no way tricky. No lie Im going to miss taking her classes. Trust me take her classes!

grade was based on worksheets, short writing tasks and peer reviews, quizzes, section participation, and research participation. It sounds like a lot, but it's honestly super easy. There was no midterm or final. If you do not want to participate in research studies, you can write a paper instead, but I highly recommend the studies, its super easy.

I loved this class it was very informative and a great intro to psychology. Lectures kept you interested, she even gave phone breaks throughout topics.

The grading system is very flexible; you can drop your lowest score in every category. There's no midterm or final, just weekly quizzes. The material was pretty interesting and Professor German showed a fun cat video at the beginning of each lecture. It was a very chill class overall and I would recommend it if you need an easy GE.

very straightforward class, easy one too. she gets you involved by having students participate in research studies, and the actual classwork is a breeze. if you are familiar with psych at all, this class can be done with eyes closed. definitely attend/watch her lectures, because weekly quizzes she does are entirely based on them. sections suck tho

I LOVED Prof German. She's very intelligent and understanding. If you miss a weekly quiz you can retake during finals week. There's no final or midterm for this class, but I went to every single lecture anyway because the topics were so interesting. She explains things very clearly, AND she shows cat videos at the beginning of every class!

Prof Germans class was very easy. Attendance not mandatory all her lectures and recordings were posted on canvas. Had quizzes every week (open book and online), along with one assignment based on class material each week (grades on completion). Asked to complete 6 credits of psychology research only worth 6%

Wonderful professor as her lectures were engaging and so well organized! I loved the cat videos at the beginning of class and she overall just seems like a super cool person to be around. No midterm or final was amazing, weekly quizzes were a bit difficult (take lecture notes AND listen to her examples) but doable. Also TA Miriam Urie was amazing!!

It was easy to learn from her lectures because even though they were content heavy, concepts were explained well. She also recorded and posted videos of every lecture. There were also no midterms or final, just asynchronous open note quizzes once a week. Assignments were also minimal. Definitely take for an easy A.

Very easy class 10/10 would recommend it as a GE. Open note online quizzes with no midterm or final.

German is so helpful and lenient. Lectures are not mandatory but they are very engaging and easy to follow. Weekly quizzes and section participation were the whole grade. No finals no papers. SUCH AN EASY GE

Best professor by far. She's so sweet and passionate about her lectures. She doesn't do midterms or finals but does have a quiz at the end of every week. As long as you pay attention in lectures (which are actually really interesting) and look at the slides you should pass with no problem. Wish I could take her class again and again.

Super light workload with roughly two short assignments a week. Super engaging lectures that helped you stay focused. No final or midterm for this class only small weekly open note quizzes. Very helpful in office hours if you ever have any questions. Textbook is optional her lectures go over everything needed to pass the quizzes.

AMAZING CLASS!! Incredibly easy, almost no hw and online tests so definitely take this professor for the GE, but also really interesting. Professor cites SO many real life experiments that really engages you with the class. Final was online and really doable. Light workload so it's great to learn some more psychology without stressing at all.

Loved her class! It always felt like time flew in there because the material is very interesting. Quizzes every week, but online & open note. Also had to read a lot, but it wasn't too bad tbh.

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!!

Amazing professor, very knowledgable and very easy grader. Always includes cat videos in her lectures. Met one of my best friends in this class as a freshman :)

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

Fav course by far. Super nice and understanding professor. Lectures are straightforward and she records them so you don't HAVE to go to lecture. She talks quite fast, but make sure to take notes on what she says and not the slides (exams focus more on what talks about). Even though I took it for a GE, the class was genuinely interesting. no final!

Professor German is awesome! Her lectures are very interesting, and are broken into 4 parts with breaks in between. No midterm or final though there are weekly tests and a short quiz on each lecture. All are open note and the quizzes have unlimited attempts. Both are easy if you pay attention in lecture and read the book. Would highly recommend!
