Professor German's class was awesome! There were 2 quizzes a week but they can be re-taken as many times as you want. There was no midterm or final, just weekly online exams. They can be difficult but the information was all in the lectures. She's clearly passionate about psych and the class is fun!
Prof. German was great! We had weekly exams, but 2 lowest scores were dropped. They were pretty tough and hard to understand at times, but EVERYTHING came from lectures and readings so make sure to stay on top of that! Quizzes are given and you were able to retake as many times are you wanted! Extra credit is available too, but don't depend on it!
Psych 1 was a great experience with Professor German. Although her lectures can be tedious at times, it was overall a super easy class that you can easily get an A in if you do the required work. She's super cool and her class was very well organized and clear. Also there's no midterms or finals, so that's cool.
This class is easy id say loll. If u r trying to find a GE- this is it. I can tell she's a nice person even tho I skip her cat videos everytime lol. Lectures are clear and well-organized- u really can learn something
What a gem! rockstar professor with the best outfits. No final or midterm, just weekly exams. You need to pay attention in lecture and do the readings to do well on the exams. My only complaint is some of the exam questions are hard to understand. But overall, this was an awesome class with a caring prof.
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
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!
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.
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).
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
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!
All of Professor German's lectures are extremely interesting and you can tell she loves what she teaches. Her presentations are engaging while also teaching you everything you need to know for the class, and I genuinely look forward to her classes and would take another. Tests and quizzes are open note but still require you to understand material.
