Easiest class ever, quiz online once a week, section attendance does matter, as long as you show up you'll get the points, no midterm or final

Fun professor, lectures are recorded, and quizzes are asynchronous. Overall very enjoyable class.

LOVE her so much. First class I ever took at UCSB and I made the best choice. Super engaging and genuinely interesting material. She is very understanding and lenient. Grades are basically just from quizzes, which are all online, and participation in sections. Very light but fun course, highly recommend.

Professor German was honestly one of my favorite professors during fall quarter. I took Psy 1 just for the credits but learned so much and it was actually super interesting. Super easy class and attendance is not mandatory. Grades are based on section attendance, weekly worksheets and open-note quizzes. Definitely take it!

Good lecturer but sometimes I cannot hear her words clearly. Love the cat videos she shown on screen at the start of every class. No midterm and final. Just weekly quiz. Easy to get a good grade.

Amazing lecturer. Very lenient grading. Overall a very easy class. The class is based on weekly quizzes (~20 q's multi-choice), weekly cyu's (graded on completion), and section participation. She gives you the opportunity to make up all missed quizzes and to re-take your lowest-score quiz. You can just use "A.cademic I.ntegrity" on all the quizzes

This isthe best class I have taken. Super light, quiz once a week but most of the answers you'll find in the lecture same with the weekly worksheets. Professor German was delightful!!! Always helpful and showed videos of her cats before lecture. Attendance is not mandatory, but it is nice to go.

LOVE HER! Easy class. No final or midterm, just research requirements. Every week have to do one quiz and a worksheet about the topics (graded on completion). Definitely would take it again, Professor German is the best, and the cat videos before lectures lighten the class.

the easiest class i have taken at UCSB (thought, I did take AP psych in hs). The homework was graded on completion and there was quizzes that were open note. No midterm or final, you get the option to participate in studies (which you can do online) you only need to do 3, the alternative is a paper. She also showed her cat (hes cute) my fav lesbian

She was so chill and funny. Made class enjoyable to go to. Had 2 assignments a week, one online quiz and one lecture guide note taking thing that was graded for completion. So easy you should definitely take! She was also so nice and her lectures were super interesting!
