This class is worth taking, if you enjoy learning about psych disorders. However, he talks mainly about medicines and goes on tangent. I went to class (didn't do the reading) and I was able to do fairly well. The tests can be semi difficult because sometimes there seems like more than one answer. Some unexpected questions, more studying won't help.

Fridlund is a GREAT teacher! The class is really interesting and the reading isnt bad. Just go to class and pay attention, its enjoyable and you'll do well

This class was awesome. I wish I would have studied a little harder for the midterm because I could have had an A. Make sure you know everything on the Fair Game Sheet and you will be golden. Make sure you know examples and not just the definition. I always enjoyed going to class.

Lectures are very fun and interesting. Tests include information from the lectures, readings, and section. Section attendance is not mandatory. Lectures are posted online, but Fridlund's enthusiasm makes lectures very enjoyable. My favorite class so far.

It's not necessary at all to go to either section or lecture if you want to do well in this class. You WILL want to go to lecture/section though because this class is a blast. Fridlund is an excellent teacher and some of the section topics are pretty fun. Kick back and enjoy because this is how intro classes should be.

The reading, the lecture and the section all have different information so you must be dedicated in all the areas. HE IS A GREAT PROFESSOR it's pointless not to go to lecture, they are so fun! The test focused on the little things that I didn't think id be tested on so, study EVERYTHING on the fair game sheet, also record lecture, if u want that A.

Fridlund gives very funny lectures, but goes off on tangents a lot. You have to do all the reading and teach yourself the majority of the material. The midterm and final are the only scores for the class so it can either make or break you. Attendance is not mandatory and section is kind of pointless.

Great guy! Very passionate about his teaching. Tests were really easy as long as you know the fair game sheet like the back of your hand. Lectures were always very exciting. This is for sure a must take. Lectures didn't really follow reading so that was frustrating at times but lectures were always entertaining and funny.

Honestly one of my favorite teachers at SB so far! He makes class so interesting and fun to attend. Although lectures aren't mandatory, and neither are sections, you should still attend if you want to receive a good grade. Every now and then he'll throw in a joke or two and has the whole lecture hall learning and laughing at the same time!

Fridlund is one of my favorite professors at SB. Grade is dependent on two tests, but gives you a fair game sheet which you should use exclusively as your study guide. If you know everything on the fair game sheet, you should get an A

He is a very funny teacher and tries to make class really interesting, and presents the info pretty clearly. But, he doesn't go over everything in class, so you must do the reading (must attend class too). Fill out the fair game sheet well and you should do pretty well in the class although the exams aren't that easy.

Love him. So funny. He doesn't care if you go to lecture, but you will WANT to. If you dont take psych with fridlund you are making a mistake. The tests are a fair test of how much you studied

AMAZING PROFESSOR! hilarious and keeps things interesting. it can be a difficult class but with the fair game sheet and some studying, not bad!

Extremely interesting class! It's hard, but very interesting. He does a good job of keeping the class entertaining. There is a lot of reading and you should definitely stay on top of it if you want a good grade in the class. Tests are some what difficult. Highly advise taking this class.

Really knows what he is talking about. I got an A but did all the reading and studied exactly what was on the fair game sheets. Really interesting general knowledge class I would recommend.

Lectures had good material, LOTS of reading in this class, though so be prepared. Thoroughly enjoyed this class.

This was a pretty difficult class. A lot of information and terms you have to remember for the tests (around 200 terms & concepts). The professor is really funny and tries to relate to the IV crowd, which is a nice touch.

I WAS ONE POINT AWAY FROM AN A-, AGGHHHGHGHGHGHGHGH

i love this class and the professor even though it was harder than expected. fridlund is hilarious and makes the class so much fun. plus the subject is very interesting. i recommend taking this class just do the reading and pay attention since grades consist of just final and midterm.

This class was SIGNIFICANTLY harder than I initially thought. 1/2 of the test material is only found in the book. Study exactly what is on the fair game sheet. Only 1 midterm and 1 final which are very difficult. Only 5% of the class got an A.

I took this class pass/no pass. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be; I figured I would just go and take the tests. But you really have to study if you want to do well. The class is very interesting so I don't regret it. 1 midterm and 1 final along with 6 research credits you have to fulfill. Very interesting class with great teaching.

AMAZING professor. He makes class so fun. I loved going to all these lectures. I am a first year just getting started and this was the perfect class to take. You must read and study to get a good grade but he is awesome. Can't wait to take another class with him

Amazing class, amazing professor, amazing TA. I loved everything about this course. It's moderately easy. Read the book, take good lecture notes, study hard (definitely use the fair-game sheet), and you'll get a good grade. Tests pretty straight forward - just make sure you know the materials.

Great professor. HILARIOUS. Easy if you work hard. Go to lecture, and instead of taking notes print out the fair game sheet prior to class and take notes on that. It's the best way to go. Had him for Psy1 (into to psych) and Psy103 (psychopathology). You're going to love his witty and sexual humor, and not to mention the fact he is very engaging.
