I was really interested in the content, but honestly this class felt more like a job. However, I think this was the case just because it was online. I wish I got to take this class in person because it is definitely one that is harder to learn online. All quizzes and tests were open-note and there were a lot of extra assignments each week, but nothing ever too heavy. The lectures were by far the toughest part of this course. Professor Clark is very nice and accommodating, but often talks down to us as if we are small kids.

Professor Clark's class was a really interesting intro to psychology. The class is really interesting and done asynchronously so there's a lot of flexibility. The midterm/final have a lot of info, but are overall pretty manageable. Sometimes a lot of individual due dates pile up, but it is never difficult work. Definitely recommend this professor to anyone in psych.

Professor Clark is a super sweet and helpful teacher! She wants her students to succeed and I found her lectures to be extremely helpful for the exams. She doesn't ask you trick questions and teaches everything you need to know. Great class and prof!

I liked Clark! The class worked really well in the online format. I wasn't particularly a fan of the content as it was really basic and didn't explore concepts in depth, but I guess that's why this is an intro class. Anyway, the lectures were good, and I liked how they were broken up into smaller clips instead of hour long videos. It make everything seem a lot lighter. However, I didn't really enjoy the assignment breakdown. It wasn't that the assignments (3 [or 4] quizzes, 3 1-minute long videos, article analyses, and labs) were hard or worthless, it's just that they were very sporadically assigned, so I was constantly checking the syllabus to see what was due every Tuesday. It was tiring and I would have liked some regularity. The two labs that were conducted in groups were okay. I didn't hate them but it was honestly pretty boring and I didn't really gain any new knowledge from them. Overall, this class wasn't very interesting, but that's not Clark's fault. She's a super nice and approachable professor and I'd love to take a class with her again.

I recommend taking this class! It is just like AP psych in high school. The topics were super interesting and it was not a ton of work. One day of the lecture was completely asynchronous and the other was a live lab. For the labs, you had to work in a group which was a bit hard to coordinate since everything was virtual. The lecture content was interesting and engaging. There were a lot of mini-assignments that felt like busy-work but overall this class is interesting and low-stress.

A lot of people have to take this class, so I would say if you HAVE to take it, Clark isn't a bad option! I thought the class was pretty boring with a lot of busy work that felt unnecessary. I recommend taking it as early as possible because there are no prerequisites and as a 3rd year it felt like being back in high school in terms of the material and the difficulty.

I enjoyed taking Psych 10 with Courtney. All of her lectures were pre-recorded and we only attended class on Thursdays for lab (which wasn't always required to go to). There was a decent amount of work to complete each week, but it was mostly simple assignments that were mostly just for participation. Quizzes were sometimes difficult but were open notes. Same with the final exam. There are video assignments (four to be exact) where you have to explain certain concepts in psychology. The hardest part was getting the video to be less than a minute. There are also article analysis readings that were pretty easy and interesting. You also have the SONA research requirements. I would just recommend getting those done ASAP so you don't have to worry about them later. Overall, I think Professor Clark was really nice and a great lecturer.

This class was hard for me, but I enjoyed it. I had a pretty biased view on psychology going into the course, but I find it interesting now. I thought we would mainly learn about clinical psychology, which I wasn’t too excited about, but we also learned a lot about brain anatomy, how people learn, how people develop, how memory works, and more.

Courtney Clark is so nice and the teaching team is super friendly and helpful. This class is mainly asynchronous, although it is listed as online recorded. Class structure is a longer “lesson” on Tuesday and a shorter “lesson” on Thursday with an hour live lab on Thursday. Lessons are a series of videos with a tiny bit of questions that are graded on completion. Lessons can be quite long, but I watch them on double speed.

Labs are pretty easy. Some are mandatory, some can be completed on your own. Some labs are completed with a group that you work with again later. I really liked my group, so I didn’t mind. Labs are graded on accuracy, but if you have any questions just as a TA during the live lab sessions. You do some experiments and send out some surveys, but nothing extremely hard.

The tests are the hardest things about this class. There are five quizzes but she drops the lowest quiz. The quizzes are somewhat hard. They’re questions about very detailed things that I just don’t remember. Some of the questions are on Quizlet, but not all of them. The final was also pretty hard because again there were many detailed things that were skimmed over very fast in lectures or were not even mentioned at all.

Honestly the class is pretty easy in terms of material. She had open book tests so you also didn't really have to memorize the plethora of information from lectures. Also thank god I took this during spring 2020 bc if I wouldn't have been able to speed up the extremely slow talking speed of clark this class would've been a lot more awful. Only real downside about this class is that it was kinda a lot of work that you had to do for it
