LOVED this class with Smurda, took her again because she is such an awesome professor. It is very important you pay attention to her lectures and understand the case studies she mentions and their impacts because that is what you will be tested on. Information can seem ambiguous at times because a lot if it is related to other concepts and it can all seem a little similiar (I know that sounds vague but it is a good representation of the material). Attend lecture, pay attention and go back over the slides and you will do well.

Dr. Smurda is one of my favorite professors at UCLA.
Her classes are always full of the most interesting studies, and class is very engaging (I think polleverywhere is such a great way to keep students' attention)
Her exams are very fair and I had a lot of fun with the final paper, which is to use class concepts to influence others.
She provides resources for prepping for exams and overall I have no complaints.
Also, no spoilers, but she also demonstrates concepts through certain means as well.
One last thing is that I took Social Psychology with her prior to taking this class, and there is a lot of overlap. For those who want only new material, this may be disappointing, but for those who want to knock out requirements with less effort, I would recommend.
