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!
Her lectures are interesting. No midterms or final, 1 exam and 2 quizzes per week, open book. Lectures are posted online. Highly recommended!
weekly 20 question quizzes so super manageable w/no cumulative exams! pretty clear expectations and you get quizzes with unlimited attempts after each lecture so you get practice questions fro weekly quizzes. super flexible professor
Professor German is amazing! Her lectures are very interesting and well-paced, and always posted online. Mostly graded on the weekly exams that are open-note and online, so as long as you do good on those you'll be fine. Two weekly quizzes that you get infinite attempts on, and sections are interesting and engaging. Highly recommend
Professor German has interesting, clear lectures. The class is extremely structured and every test/assessment is open note. She wants you to do well and this class. Homework load is predictable each week and very manageable.
Lectures posted online (slides&recording), very organized, videos to illustrate concepts/studies. Weekly online tests very fair if you listen to lectures. Reading TB helped on exams, but they're mostly based on lectures. Sections graded on participation, lowest 2 dropped. No final/midterm. Great instructor who wants students to have fun learning.
two weekly quizzes based on lectures, one weekly exam (all are open note), but no final or midterm! i love dr. german she is such a good lecturer and the ta's are all super helpful if you can get one with rosencrance i would highly recommend; there is an online textbook, but i didn't get it and was fine. take this class you won't regret it!
Professor German is literally fantastic. I love her and she is amazing. She explains everything so well and I really appreciate how we don't have a midterm or final exam. Lectures are always great and engaging, very interesting too. I have so much respect for her and she will always be one of my favorite professors here at UCSB. Take this class!!!!
She really loves psychology and includes videos of her cats at home. There is no final or midterm, you just have two quizzes per week and an exam every other week. As for quizzes you can retake them as many times as you want so you can get a perfect score every time. Overall an amazing prof and I would definitely recommend this class to everyone.
Her lectures are genuinely really interesting, and she's a super cool professor. The readings are also interesting, but they can take a bit of time, so try not to fall behind. As long as you watch the lecture (in person or online since she posts them) and do the reading, you'll get an A.
It's an easy class but make sure you buy the online textbook as it will sometimes be tested in weekly quizzes.
Absolutely amazing professor! The lectures are well organized and engaging. She includes breaks between sections to show videos of her cats, and even if you can't attend her lectures, her lectures are posted online. There is one take-home exam per week, but they are typically pretty easy with your lowest score being dropped. Highly recommended!
