PSY 1 was my favorite class last quarter due to her engaging and confident way of lecturing. Weekly exams (only exams!) are simple if you read the book and participate. She also gives lots of extra credit opportunities and some extensions, which I did not need. You will do well if as long as you try. A brilliant, passionate professor I recommend.
Honestly this was not a hard class just a lot of reading and exam prep if you want to do well. What killed me was the weekly exams on Monday. After exam 3 I praying for this class to end and it never did. I would rather have a class with a midterm and a final than the never-ending weekly exams that never give you a weekend to recover.
Engaging lectures, solid professor very organized, gives good examples during class, critical thinking involved for exams and quizzes this class.
Professor Tamsin's lectures are very enjoyable and she always starts with a kitten of the day video. There is weekly reading for this class, however, it is very manageable. She also doesn't assign major exams but weekly ones that you can take from home. You are also given the leniency to drop your lowest exam score.
Shes a good professor but her exam questions are pretty wordy! She has a quiz every week
The lectures are pretty laid back including the weekly exams. Just make sure to really understand the topics and the check your understanding quizzes for each topic as they really do help. Try to get 100% in all of the small quizzes they help a lot and you are able to retake them as many times as youd like.
Truly a great professor she knows so much and is super easy to listen to. This subject is very interesting and the workload is not bad at all. On the plus side she plays cute cat videos every 5 seconds and seems like a great person who cares about her students. Would 100% take a class with her again she's awesome and a staple here.
Truly not enough good things to say about Professor German. She is clearly so intelligent and well versed on what she is teaching about. She cares about the students, keeps class engaging and interesting. The structure of her class is clear, organized and manageable. Could not recommend more.
Professor German is a brilliant lecturer and even showed us her cats during the "breaks" she has in class. German's tests and quizzes are all online and are based on her lecture slides. She is accessible outside of class and is approachable, so definitely tune into her office hours!
Professor German is the perfect person to teach this class; she's knowledgeable and makes the lectures interesting. She even gives students breaks throughout the lectures and shows videos of her pets. Highly recommend this class as a GE or for a pre-major requirement.
She is very passionate and knows what she is talking about. Her class is outlined very well. When I took it, it was partially online because if a covid spike, but I honestly think that made it easier. Sections are mandatory and the class is test/quiz heavy. Reading the textbook helps a lot.
german is awesome! her lectures are pretty interesting (and she even includes videos of her cats in them). there are a few quizzes throughout the course but they are easy if you pay attention to lecture and use the textbook. overall pretty easy!
She was my favorite professor, clearly interested in what she teaches and cares for students. no midterm or final just simple weekly quizzes
Prof German is nice! Her lectures are clear and inspirational. Your grades come from weekly quizzes and section participation. Although attendance is not mandatory, you have to take careful notes in order to pass the weekly test -- relying solely on her slides won't help! The lowest two scores get drop.
German gave amazing lectures and you can tell how passionate she is about the subject. She's very accommodating of her students, and since there is no final it was pretty easy to pass the class. Most of the exams are just based on some of the reading but mostly on the lectures, so I recommend going to them.
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.
