SHERMAN D A
It feels impossible to get an A in this class honestly. This class is based off 3 exams only and it is honestly pretty difficult to get an "A" even if you study. I genuinely love health psychology but his exams were too tricky. I would say skip this class overall. If he curved the course it would be nice but he does not. :/
Prof Sherman is a nice guy, I really enjoyed the class but his exams are no joke. They're pretty ridiculous but he's been really accomodating during the pandemic, which is really appreciated.
Nice guy but confusing exam questions. The class is not difficult but make sure to read the book and read the lectures to succeed as exams are 50/50 book and lecture. Exams are non cumulative and the class is generally very interesting!
clear and concise lecturer, the class is really not a lot of work. grade is based on 3 tests, very fair
This class was a special topics class and the midterm and final were a paper very similar to the one you have to write for PSY 10 A (design an intervention). Very nice teacher and overall chill class. Only stressful when writing papers but otherwise easy and interesting and socially relevant!
3 exams equally determine your grade (not cumulative). Exams are an even split between the book and his lectures, not too difficult if you study. This class requires a lot of time for the readings but its not a difficult A.
After taking this course, I will say that this class was difficult. You have to study both the lectures and the book to ace the exams. I will strongly advise anyone taking this class to study both the book and lectures daily, go to office hours, and get help from the TA. This class isn't the class to procrastinate, you have to study hard!
Class broken up into three exams worth the same amount of credit. Some of the matrial is really dry. I did well on the first 2 exams that I read for and were also lecture heave. The final was based on the book which is why I did not get an A. My couse load was heavy. I did not have time time to read everything for evey class. Some toppics are good.
Two midterms, one final. Each worth 33.33% of your grade. Lectures were okay, not too interesting but not too boring either. Tests were fair, be sure to read!!!
I really didn't like the content of this class and I feel like most of the material could have been managed in a couple of weeks, but someone make it into a tedious, poorly structured 10-week course. It was a really boring class, but the tests were fair
Good teacher. Interesting class. Pretty easy if you study lectures and skim the book. He breaks the class into 3 chunks that are not cummulative.
Very boring lecturer. His tests are challenging. There are 3 tests (2 midterms and a final). They are not cumulative but still hard. I went to his office hours and not really helpful. I wouldn't take him again, try taking another teacher if you can't his class is doable but not the best teacher to take.
