Fall 2021 - Very easy class and the topic was pretty interesting. There were 2 midterms which were not that bad and based on lecture. The assignments were very simple and mostly based off completion since the content is pretty subjective. There were three writing assignments where you had to write some journal entries to track your emotions, one to share your experience/thoughts on tracking your emotions, and one paper on your thoughts/review of a book you have to read. Both of the longer writing assignments (not the emotion journal) were one page each, but they with single line spacing. If you're taking some hard psych classes, I think this class can be a chill class to take with the hard classes.
