Truly awful professor. Major used some very racist, homophobic, transphobic, and fatphobic language in her lectures. She was also extremely ableist towards students needing accommodations, not to mention rude and condescending in general. So glad she is retiring, don't ever take anything from her.

Grades were based on midterm and final only. Lectures weren't very helpful, so rely on the text readings. Exams are terrible; made you learn multiple topics and concepts, yet tested only on about six even after telling students to study everything.TA was just as bad. Posted the wrong grades twice, and didn't notify students until hours later.

i was baffled when this social psych professor used outdated language, would avoid her at all costs. also grade is just 2 tests with tonsssss of questions

Major was a really great lecturer and her class material was interesting. I do think her grading system is harsh and it’s a lot of work to keep up with the textbook. That being said if you study I didn’t find her tests to be extremely difficult and she made the final online so that it was accessible to everyone.

You’re graded on a 70 MC midterm and final. Your grade depends only on 2 things. She expects you to not only memorize 40-50 slides worth (per classy of lecture material but also 30-60 pages worth (per chapter). It was doable as long as you’re willing to sacrifice your mental health. This class gave me so much anxiety.

140 multiple choice questions determines your entire grade. No curves. You have to know tons of concepts and experiments for the exams which is extremely demanding so make sure you do not fall behind. Many people have complaints about her but to be fair, it's doable for those who are good at memorization but the rest will very likely struggle.
