Spring 2025 - overall, not terrible, but not very good either, just average. i wouldn't prefer to take his class again, but i wouldn't necessarily tell people to stay away from it. i don't think this class was as bad as people in the groupme made it sound, but you definitely have to put in the work. 2 canvas assignments where you have to read a research article and critique each section, and 2 MC exams that are 50 questions each and non-cumulative (so half and half). the exams are based on his lectures (that are a bit boring), the textbook, and extra research articles he assigns, some of which are his own. i think that was the most difficult part tbh, having to study EVERYTHING given to make sure you wouldn't miss anything for the exams. that being said, i didn't think the exams were that hard, but i spent a loooottt of time reading the textbook and taking notes, so that's probably why. the actual content was pretty interesting to me though, since it's about relevant experiences that we all go through one way or another.
