Overall, this was a relatively easy class. There is some busy work and some group labs, but it's all relatively easy and the material is rather interesting to learn. Paquette-Smith is a good prof too, she kept lectures interesting and is overall a nice person. Would take again with this prof
Paquette-Smith cares about her students and clearly likes teaching. However, PSYCH 10 is a really long class that caused me to feel uninterested in the subject matter. The homework load was not that bad, with weekly quizzes or artificial analyses. The midterm was online, but the final was in-person which was annoying because every previous quiz/midterm was online and open-note. Regardless, the final was not that bad at all. Melissa was genuinely very nice and I do not want to bash her class, I just had trouble focusing in her lectures.
I really liked this professor and found her to be engaging and funny. She incorporated lots of interactive activities in the lectures which increased students engagement. I especially appreciated that about the professor considering that the lectures were almost 2 hours long (albeit there was a 10 minute break which helped a lot too!)
The workload for this class is extremely manageable. However, having said that, I don't think I would be able to do well on the closed book exams if I did not study at all. But if you were to study, these tests should be easy to score on!
Class was pretty easy, just a couple of weekly assignments and the quizzes and midterm were all online. Final is in person though so if you haven't been studying, you'll have to study a lot for it. I loved the professor so much, she was such a great person and good teacher. And her voice speed is perfect for you to be able to watch the lectures on 2x speed, tbh you don't have to go to lectures unless you have a lab. Take this class!!
Professor Paquette-Smith is very clear and engaging in her lectures, and she likes to ask questions which helps prevent you from falling asleep. She is also very approachable, which i feel really matters. 10/10 would recommend. The class has little to no homework other than reading the chapters in the textbook, which isn't really required. There is one midterm and a final, and a couple of straightforward labs.
The slides are really engaging, but there are a lot of clicker questions involved. Accuracy with clicker questions count as well. The labs are not hard at all for the class. The material is fairly easy, because the professor goes over it well. The midterms and finals are not extremely difficult and very doable.
