PSY 1 was super easy but interesting. I'd definitely recommend it as a GE.

I loved this class it was very informative and a great intro to psychology. Lectures kept you interested, she even gave phone breaks throughout topics.

The grading system is very flexible; you can drop your lowest score in every category. There's no midterm or final, just weekly quizzes. The material was pretty interesting and Professor German showed a fun cat video at the beginning of each lecture. It was a very chill class overall and I would recommend it if you need an easy GE.

very straightforward class, easy one too. she gets you involved by having students participate in research studies, and the actual classwork is a breeze. if you are familiar with psych at all, this class can be done with eyes closed. definitely attend/watch her lectures, because weekly quizzes she does are entirely based on them. sections suck tho

I LOVED Prof German. She's very intelligent and understanding. If you miss a weekly quiz you can retake during finals week. There's no final or midterm for this class, but I went to every single lecture anyway because the topics were so interesting. She explains things very clearly, AND she shows cat videos at the beginning of every class!

Prof Germans class was very easy. Attendance not mandatory all her lectures and recordings were posted on canvas. Had quizzes every week (open book and online), along with one assignment based on class material each week (grades on completion). Asked to complete 6 credits of psychology research only worth 6%

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.
