Absolutely fantastic professor. Definitely recommended.

Super duper nice professor. Lectures are recorded, and exams are open note. Easy A if you finish taking notes and do your assignments on time.

Professor Paquette taught the material in an engaging manner, while also giving us an appropriate amount of work. The group labs were a bit of a hassle depending on if your group members do their part. Nonetheless, the professor makes long lectures manageable with short breaks. Loved the class, would take again.

Paquette-Smith is a great lecturer and psych 10 is a class that is very similar to what you would expect of a 300 person 2 hour lecture. The concepts are relatively interesting, but you can only go so deep as there is a lot to cover. It can be a little boring at times, but most of the time the lectures are very engaging and interesting. Your mileage may vary with this class, but as long as you do the work, you should be fine to get an A. Would definitely recommend Paquette-Smith if you have to take psych 10.

This is definitely one of my favorite classes I have taken at UCLA so far. For being an online asynchronous course, prof paquette-smith did an unbelievably amazing job at keeping lectures engaging, interesting, and fun. I actually loved this class and 100% recommend to any major, not just psych pre-majors!!

I would absolutely take this class again! She was a great professor who really cared about her students' learning and genuinely seemed to enjoy teaching the material. The tests were not too difficult and the workload was not super heavy either. The class was really interesting and I would definitely recommend it!

Melissa does a very good job at making this class an easy A. There are a good amount of assignments but they are pretty easy and she drops your lowest grade in every category (lowest quiz score, lowest lab, lowest article analysis). This class is great for psych majors, but an eassyyyy GE for anyone else. Her lectures were in person but recorded, so if you're not feeling going to class that day, don't. You'll be fine. Her office hours were also really helpful in case you wanted to review your assignment before submitting it.

I took AP Psych in high school and felt that we covered less in Psych 10 so it felt easier than AP.
Theres a quiz of 10 questions about every other week (multiple choice), 1 midterm (40 multiple choice and 2 short answer), 1 final (60 mc and 3 short answer), all of these are timed and online. There are a couple of group projects towards the end of the quarter. The class is so large (about 300), participation isn't really possible unless you have a question about the slides but that's not noted for your grade at all. There's some busy work and article readings, nothing too hard or time consuming. You have to participate in 6 hours of SONA research, I knocked it out in two sittings. You just pick different studies going on at campus, they usually take between 20 minutes and an hour based on the one you pick. The tests and quizzes were pretty easy if you studied (which I didn't do and still got a B)
I would totally take another class with Melissa! She's super nice, helpful, and responds to emails quickly.

Wonderful class! Relaxed, informative, and fun. Big recommend, Professor Paquette-Smith is very helpful especially so I recommend her especially.

Take this class with this prof! The class is so easy, the prof is very accommodating and very clear. I would say my only complaint of this class is a personal preference as I didnt really enjoy that there was a good amount of group work involved in the class.
