The best aspect of this course was the wide range of psychology topics students learned in the straightforward lectures. The professor was engaging and provided students with lots of examples to help them understand the content. The worst aspects of the course included the large class size and the grading system that was composed of just four exams. The course would have improved if students had more opportunities to boost their grades in the class and if the class were somehow smal er. Those who want to be successful in this course should attend class regularly because much of the exam material comes from lecture notes.

The best aspects of this course included the lack of homework and the interesting variety of topics covered in the lecture. Due to the class’ massive size, students believed that it was impossible to respond to the topics discussed, and that this could make the lectures long and somewhat tedious. Suggestions for improvement included providing the lecture notes online to help students prepare for the exams. Students also wanted smaller class sizes to increase interactivity and add interest to the lectures. Prospective students should be aware that the exams cover information exclusive to the lectures, so attendance is mandatory.

Students attending this course appreciated the effective communication style of the teacher and the light workload. Students felt the course’s greatest drawbacks were the large class size and the examinations that were the main source of evaluation for the class. Students thought the course could be improved with additional homework assignments or quizzes. Students want potential participants to know that attending lectures for the class is important because material for lectures is featured prominently in exam questions.

The best aspects of this course included the wide range of intriguing material, the engaging manner with which the instructor lectured, the slides and videos shown as supplemental matter to the text, the pace at which the students were encouraged to learn, and the option to drop one’s lowest midterm score. Some students felt it was unfair or unduly difficult to allow only the exams to count toward their total grades; also, students felt the exams were designed to be almost too chal enging to pass; students felt the instructors should implement a grading curve and that some of the required readings were unnecessary. One suggestion was to provide students with smal er, focused, and more frequently-administered tests so that students can secure a reasonable grade. Another suggestion included more rigorous review sessions for the tests. Prospective students are encouraged to attend class and study often as the tests can be difficult.
