Dr. Lu is one of the most helpful and caring professors I've encountered. The first couple weeks starts with learning how to use a pretty intuitive psychology experiment creator software called PsychoPy. Then, it goes into working on our own research from question (hypothesis) to a full-on experiment conduct in class. We get separated into groups and work on these projects pretty much the entire quarter. We had a psychopy (not quite coding but similar) assignment that basically makes us replicate an experiment provided by Dr. Lu. We also have 2 big papers (1 individual paper is around 7ish pages and the other is 20 pages with your groups). Then, just a presentation at the end of the quarter as your final. It's a great class, especially if you like research and group-work.

Professor Lu is a fantastic professor who cares deeply about students. Mary, our TA, was probably the best TA I have had in my two years at UCLA. She's super caring and goes out of her way to make sure that students understand what is being asked for.

The class seems like it's a lot of work at first but it's very doable and you have plenty of resources to work with. The most stress I had was during week 4 when we had a Psychopy project due alongside a demonstration paper but even that was not too much.

121 is basically 100B with the exception of some basic coding. 60% of your grade comes from a group paper that you do at the end of the quarter just like in 100B. Just make sure to play your part and you'll be fine!
