Professor Clark is an extremely nice person who really cares about her students. Her lectures are not necessarily the most engaging, but they are not horrible. You do not need the rent/buy the $130+ textbook because it is not useful at all. The syllabus is as follows:

-Lab Component= 15%
a.) This class requires that you participate in a lab component or else you fail the class automatically. This involves booking psychological studies that you participate in. These can last anywhere from 1-3 hours, but it completely depends on you. If you have no time, you can opt out of the studies and instead write Psych abstracts( One Page, Double spaced= Not bad at all/ really easy). The 15% is made up of 60% labs 1-7 which are done in class individually and with a group(Fun and easy), and the remaining 40% is your final lab report which is two pages double-spaced. A rubric/ guide is provided. Your lowest lab score is dropped

-Online Quizzes= 10%
a.) There are four online quizzes that are not timed and are open book. There is no reason for you to get anything less than 100%. Your lowest quiz score is dropped.

-Participation(Clickers)= 5%
a.) You have to answer half the clicker questions, for half the days of class. Not graded/ just for attendance, not correctness.

-Midterm= 30%
a.) Pretty fair examination- Average was around 84%. To do well on this test, study the slides and look up AP Psychology quizlets. This is a multiple choice test and very doable if you study. 60 questions

-Final= 40%
a.) Multiple Choice again, cumulative, with more emphasis on post-midterm material. Study slides and quizlets to test terms. 75 questions

This class is not graded on a curve and is on a straight scale ( 90-92= A-, 93-96= A, 97+= A+).

Clark definitely does get agitated when people are whispering, even if nobody else can hear what she is hearing, but it's not that big of a deal. The TAs are super nice- Shoutout to Miriam- she was the best!

In conclusion, TAKE THIS CLASS, IT IS FAIR AND PRETTY INTERESTING. YOU WILL DO GREAT.

Professor Clark was very insightful and knowledgeable about psychology. She really cared for her students and their learning, and made psychology easy to understand even for people who had never taken a psych class before. In addition, her tests were all straightforward and she always made it clear what would be tested and what wouldn't be tested. I would take this class again!

Honestly I was not expecting to get the grade I got. I got 100% on everything except for the midterm (80%) and the final (70%). This class didn't have that heavy of a workload and the fact that there is no discussion attached is nice. However, the professor does not give a study guide for either exam and so that was pretty unhelpful. Overall this class is okay the material is interesting but make sure you really pay attention because a lot of the things she says aren't on the slides.

Overall an easy class if you memorize the slides. I thought it was an interesting class with an engaging professor. Just memorize the slides and you'll do well tbh.

- easy class if you are good at memorizing, tests not really application based, just memorize the definitions of vocab
- lab component is super easy and bs work
- have a 2 page final lab report at end of quarter, really quick and easy
- test: midterm got 100% and final 96% just know definitions on slides
- clear slides. I like how she reads off slides
- textbook never used

First ever psych class. Made me interested in the topic. She is a really nice and engaging lecturer. Uploads all her slides. However, you still have to go to lecture for iclicker attendance (you don't know if it's the beginning/end of class).

Prof Clark was not very helpful. The midterm and final were both extremely detail oriented, with questions on topics briefly mentioned in lecture (<2 minutes) and super specific pieces of information literally mentioned only once. The study sessions led by a TA before exams were also very unhelpful, covering topics very generally/broadly in contrast to the content of the actual exams. Would not recommend this professor.

I absolutely loved this class. I found it to be engaging and very interesting. A few tips though:
-Go to class and pay attention! everything on the midterm and final comes from the class (in fact, you don't even need the textbook), and part of the grade is based on participation which is just easy iClicker questions (that also help you prepare for the tests)
-If you're confused about something go to office hours. Clark is very supportive and is willing to sit down with you to discuss anything you want. I also highly recommend that you go to office hours after the first midterm. For my class at least, we had to go to office hours to see our tests and I found the feedback very helpful. Clark is also super nice and friendly.
-Do all the labs, they're easy points and you can complete most of them in class
-Enjoy the class! It's interesting and very little work. If you just pay attention in class, you'll barely have to study :)

Psych 10 was the first psych class I've ever taken and I was nervous going in but TAKE IT WITH CLARK. She is very engaging and always does fun experiments so you con test some of the things you learn on yourself and and a feel like i learned a lot of material in a very concise way. If you go to class PAY ATTENTION and you honestly should be fine. The tests are pretty easy, the midterm is late around week 6/7 and she says the final is cumulative but its 70/80 percent stuff from after the midterm so its not too bad just make flashcards for the terms. DON'T BUY THE TEXTBOOK, its a waste of money, didn't open mine once tbh. She is very supportive in office hours and takes the time to explain things as many times as you need to understand the topic. Also pay attention to where you sit for the first labs because that will be where you have to sit every time, and lastly get your 6 SONA units done before week 4 so that you don't have to worry about them during and after midterm season when there aren't any left so you don't have to write papers.

The midterm and final had little to do with what was talked about in lecture. Questions were very detailed. Difficult for an intro class.
