Great professor and class!! Didn't expect to like it as much as I did. There were 2 research/blog assignments that weren't too hard to complete (basically writing a "blog" about a topic you find interesting). 8 quizzes (10 questions each w/ 20 min time limit) and 1 multiple choice final exam that is taken in person. Great class, would take it again.

The class was not as bad as I expected. There are no midterms or final exam, so that's the good part. However, there are weekly quizzes, but they are pretty manageable and they are based off the lecture slides for the most part. There are a few tricky questions on the quizzes here and there, but overall pretty easy. He drops one quiz as well. We had one blog assignment for the midterm, which was a 3 pg essay (single spaced) about a topic of memory in the class. The final exam was a final research paper we had to write about another topic of memory. This one was 4 pgs single spaced and I feel like this one did not have enough instructions to guide you through the process. It was also time consuming for me since you have to start from scratch and write your own research paper. Overall, the class is pretty easy as long as you can clutch out the quizzes and the two papers. I did not show up to most of the lectures and still managed to get an A so you can do it too!

Psych 124C with Professor Clewett as a great experience. He puts a lot of emphasis on learning the material instead of just learning it for exams (which there are 0 of) and that's something not many professors do.

You take a quiz once a week and they are solely based on that weeks material. There's 2 blog assignments which were easy and one final essay which was a little time consuming but very rewarding and fun if you're into research. There are 0 exams.

Professor Clewett makes the class engaging (in-person) and really makes you excited about memory. Thanks for making one of my last psych classes so enjoyable professor!

This class was fascinating, and I enjoyed Prof Clewett's engaging lecture style. He gave many in-class demos to demonstrate various theories and paradigms used in memory research. The work outside of lectures included: weekly quizzes (takes <15min), 2 blogposts (3pg casual scientific articles which you get to pick the topic for), and 1 final research paper. The research paper is probably the only rather difficult part of this class since it is an 7-8 pg paper and you have to pick your own topic, think of your own research study, and write a proposal on it. I found this challenging since you kind of have to start from scratch and research until you have a general understanding of where the field is at before you even pick what your study will test, so it was very time consuming. BUT having no midterms/final makes up for it. Overall, I would recommend taking this class: enjoyed lectures, work wasn't too bad, learned a lot.
