Textbook and homework on Canvas. PollEverywhere for in class participation like clicker. No need to install R Studio separately (use R sandbox)
Quizzes, midterm, and final are taken on a computer. Some quiz questions can be tricky. Most questions on the final were from previous quizzes, midterm, and homework problems.
Coding wasn't too difficult for a person with 0 coding experience (it can help to create your own cheatsheet on a word doc on how to generate certain outputs and graphs). 1 sided cheat sheet is allowed for all quizzes, midterm, and final (can be helpful but not necessary if you know the concepts well). R code cheatsheet is provided (but you might want some R code on your own 1 sided cheatsheet).
Statistics concepts weren't difficult to understand (but took Stats 13 before this class).
Lecture can be dry. No separate discussion section.

Psych 100A really isn't that bad of a class, you have weekly online reading with some embedded questions that you just have to do for completion. There are quizzes at the end of the weekly reading that will help prepare you for the in class quizzes. Montoya allows cheat sheets on all of her exams and I recommend making them and copying stuff word for word from the readings. Montoya also offers one extra credit assignment if you need it. Lowest quiz is dropped. I recommend the course with Montoya, I didn't go to class much and still got an A, you have to go to lab on quiz days but not on the other days. Some other professors don't do class participation like Montoya, but it didn't negatively affect my grade.

If you are taking this class, you should have taken stats 10 or 13 before, and if so, this class offers no new math. Having said that, it approaches the same material from the perspective of coding with R which can add a twist. I didnt do so hot on the quizes (B on all 4), however her midterm, homework and final made up for it. Her final literally had questions from the quizes. Also her poll everywhere kinda sucked, but i appreciate the sentiment of low cost materials. overall pretty chill if you are comfortable with stats 10 material.
