This class is intensely reading based, so don't get behind on your textbook reading. The only things that count for your grade are section attendance, a midterm, and a final, so it doesn't leave much room to mess up. Professor Ettenberg is a super funny guy and loves what he does, which makes lecture interesting!

I took Ettenberg for Psych 1 and he had a lot of material in his class with only one midterm and one final, meaning if you mess up in 1, it will be hard to recover. This is a weeder class so do not take as a GE!!

Professor Ettenberg is super nice and caring. His class is tough, but his lectures are genuinely interesting and he has a great attitude about teaching. The few times I asked him questions after lecture, he was always nice and funny. However, start reading right away. Tests are based on book and lectures, and its a lot of reading. He's great tho!

Prof Ettenberg is such an enjoyable person. He has a great sense of humor and is genuinely kind, I looked forward to his lectures every week. Be sure to read the textbook for this course. I found the reading/studying fairly easy because I enjoy learning about psych. My favorite class & professor so far!!! Sad that the course is over.

AMAZING LECTURER!! But the exams are HARD. The average for midterm is around 65% BEFORE curve.

Ettenberg is an awesome lecturer, but please only take PSY1 if you absolutely need to take it, I learned this the hard way. Lectures were not mandatory and he only goes over the main topics which isn't helpful because the tests rely heavily on the textbook. You should take a different class though, unless you are super interested or passionate.
