TAKE PSYCH 10 WITH CLARK!

I had already taken this class as an AP in high school and had AP credit but because of dental school preferences I had to take it in college. For this reason I found the material pretty easy because it was the exact same as in my AP class. Professor Clark was a clear and organized lecturer and I liked her. The class was pretty reasonable and you have to stay on top of assignments and study because there's a lot of memorization but overall everything was pretty fair. Be smart about the SONA requirement and get it done early in the quarter when studies are available and you have time.

This class is interesting and an easy A. A lot of people I know got 100% on the midterm and high A's on the final. You're with your lab group for the whole quarter, so try to choose good people. Clark was super helpful and tried to make lectures engaging, so I'd definitely recommend!

First of all - don't waste your time reading the textbook, Clark covers everything you need to know for exams. Honestly my main complaint about the class is that 2 hours is way too long for this lecture, but Professor Clark did a really good job keeping the class engaging. As a person, she's incredibly sweet, before class always mingling and trying to get to know students, you can easily see she really cares about what she's doing. It is true she can sometimes speak to you like you're 5, but I'd rather have that than her talk to us like we're PHD students in an intro to psych course. You have to attend class because of clicker points but you get 3 free skips which is nice. Labs are SO straightforward as long as you pay attention and ask questions you should get an 100 on every single one. Biggest pain in the ass about this class is the 6 hours of research you have to participate in but whatever. Personally, I'm not overly interested in psych but I still had a good time. Glad I had a friend for my lab group, made it much more fun. TAs are helpful at review sessions and such, but no discussion which is also nice.

I took Psych 10 for no reason other than it's interesting to me and I wanted to learn more. This class was great to fulfill that purpose! Prof Clark is sweet and engaging, and often incorporates videos into her slides to illustrate the concepts. I looked forward to going every week.
Labs are also part of this class, and happen during the lecture. You could take it with friends but it honestly doesn't matter. I probably spent like 1-2 hours max outside of lecture working on this class. Slides are posted and are really all you need to know for the midterm/final. (Final became optional because of corona, so I didn't take it anyway).
Overall if you're interested in the topic I would recommend it!

I really enjoyed this class! Clark was always very bubbly and her lectures were always so interesting and fun. The tests are not too hard, just as long as you can apply knowledge of the material to real life situations. She gives little homework, just occasional lab reports and quizzes on CCLE. The one thing that I didn't like about the class was the fact that we had to work in lab groups a few times. That might just be a personal thing though since I prefer to work alone unless I know the people I'm working with, but if you don't enjoy group work then that might be annoying for you too. Also, be prepared for people not paying attention and asking the same question five different ways either in class or on Piazza, but these grievances have nothing to do with the class or Clark, but rather with the people who were in Psych 10. Other than that though, the class was pretty low stress and I'd highly recommend taking it.

Eh, the pacing of this class isn’t great, and the tests aren’t the best. Clark is extremely average

Professor Clark's main area of study is improving the proficiency of learning. It is clear that she is studying children because she talks to the class like they are 8 year olds. She uses the work "nosh" to describe eating ?
This is not to say I did not enjoy her lectures, I often sat in the front row for lectures. She also tries to make tests "easier" or maybe fun to do, and I found that this actually can make it more difficult. She would relate synapses to a phone charging cord as an example.
This class is not hard, it can get confusing sometimes but Clark has good intentions for everyone in the class. The final was kinda hard

selling the pdf version of the textbook for $5!
text ********** for my venmo and i'll share it!

oh courtney. as others have said she treats and speaks to the class like elementary students and it personally irked me but other people loved her! for the midterm and final i made quizlet notecards of literally every sentence on the slides and memorized them and i think thats what got me an A!

I liked Courtney. She talked to you like you were 10 years old but she was easy to understand, and if you payed attention at all in lecture, you were good for the midterm and final. She grabs questions specific to lecture and the labs, but since its bruincasted, you dont need to pay full attention. her clicker questions are easy and mostly opinion. the only that was a pain were the group labs, especially if you got stuck with a bad lab group, but they didn't really determine your grade it was just a waste of time. the class in incredibly easy if you put in a little effort and pay attention
