Winter 2023 - **THIS IS A REVIEW FOR PSYCH 118** This is a notoriously hard class, but was tolerable with Professor Trott. The first exam was difficult as in the exam had more of an emphasis on the textbook than people thought. The average was a 32.6/40. The second exam was significantly easier with the average being a 36/40 and the final was similar to the second exam in terms of difficulty with the average being a 35.5/40. My tip for doing well in the class is to definitely do all the textbook readings as I found this more helpful than lectures. Also definitely make sure to do the study guide and known it in and out as this is basically what is on the exam. Professor Trott was a super helpful and kind professor. He literally answered all the questions people had on the study guide. If you're unsure about a concept make sure to ask on the discussion board or in office hours. Besides the 3 noncumalitive exams, there are 2 assignments. The first is a recorded video on a topic of your choice. This could either be a video of you or a slide show with a voice over. The other assingment is to do a flyer or social media post about a researcher in the Comparative psychobiology filed. Both assignments were super easy and people got 100s on them. He also offers extra credit through sona!!
