Slides are so vague, it's impossible to figure out what she means. Lectures don't help much either. Test questions are so complicated, I studied for hours but still got a C each time. Luckily some questions are directly copy-pasted from the quizzes and the writing assignments are easy so it is possible to pass.

Honestly I dont know why people are so harsh on her. She does read off her powerpoint slides so if you do like that then take her. Tests are easy if you just study the powerpoint and skim the readings (which she highlights what to read). Averages on exams are B range. Homework is easy (just use notes). Show up to class bc participation matters

Mackie is a nice lady but her class was the epitome of boring. She reads off of the slides and takes forever to explain basic concepts. Dont want to go to class because its a waste of time? Well, she takes attendance points to reward those who can sit through her painstakingly slow lectures. Class isn't hard, but you could do the work quicker alone

She reads right off the slides. When she tries to explain the slides, sometimes it's confusing. The slides seem straightforward but the exams require more in-depth understanding and critical thinking compared to her slides and lecture. No book, but article readings are HIGHLY suggested to read for the exams.

Saw her for Biopsych advising. She was extremely rude and unprofessional. I haven't seen her already but she kept on insisting that she had answered my question before even though we've never met. She wouldn't even talk :(

This class is an honors class you you must be selected. Overall I enjoyed it and professor mackie's teaching. She does get on you about your writing but if you listen to her corrections you are sure to succeed. She is a nice lady and tries to make class fun by letting us help make the curriculum and by bringing in food.
