Great class with interesting topics. It's a super easy GE if you need it, but I would highly recommend the class as it's easy to get a good grade simply by trying and doing your assignments. Professor was very kind and easy to talk to at office hours, in addition to being very engaging at lectures. Lectures are posted online if necessary!
Does a very good job at making you interested in course content and she covers all information clearly. You don't have to go, however, as all slides are posted and are all that is needed to complete weekly reflections and quizzes.
Seriously such an awesome professor. Lectures aren't mandatory but would definitely recommend going anyways as some of the quiz questions reflect topics/videos viewed in class, and there's cat videos!!! Sections are pretty boring but there's no midterm or final and the weekly quizzes/assignments are relatively easy. Take this class!
Definitely a really easy yet interesting GE to take. I really enjoyed Professor Tamsin, she seems very intelligent yet witty. I hope I have the chance to take another one of her classes in the future.
100% take this class - it's easy and super fascinating. Dr. German is an engaging lecturer and uses both text on the slideshow and vids of psych experiments to teach. Also gives multiple breaks each lecture. She is super accessible and helpful during office hours. Everyone I know loves the class.
Super easy GE. Grade consists of weakly quizzes and worksheets. No final exam and all lectures are posted online with recordings. Definitely recommend for an easy GE.
She wasn't overly nice or willing to help, however, the course layout was incredibly easy to follow and provided students with a simple curriculum.
Fantastic professor who is clearly passionate about the material she is lecturing on. Sections are mandatory, but lectures are not as they are recorded and the slides posted online. Weekly online quizzes that are relatively simple. You are given two options for the “final” and you are given all quarter to complete either one. Highly recommend!
I LOVE professor German. All the lectures are optional, and if you don't go she posts all the slides and lecture recordings online. Sections are mandatory, but not difficult, you just have to show up. We dont have a final or midterms, just weekly quizzes that you take online wherever you want, and if you miss one u can retake it during finals week.
easy and interesting intro psych class- graded on weekly quizzes and worksheets, which were straightforward and simple. sections were interesting enough and prof german is super chill. would 100% recommend for a gen ed :)
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.
Professor German's PSY1 class was a breeze - interesting lectures, manageable quizzes, and even cat videos! Unstuck ai was super helpful for quiz prep. Definitely recommend taking this easy GE.
PSY 1 was super easy but interesting. I'd definitely recommend it as a GE.
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%
prof german was super sick! interesting and concise presentations, straightforward expectations, and very manageable class work and quizzes. ta sections can be very boring though. no final too which rocks. highly recommend taking as an easy GE
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.
