The best aspect of the course was the fascinating course material that was presented by a very compelling professor. The professor was knowledgeable about developmental psychology and gave inspiring and entertaining lectures. The worst aspects of the course included the difficult papers that were at times graded subjectively and the exams, which many students found difficult. The course would improve if students had some form of exam review or study guide to help them on their exams and if the papers were not graded so harshly. Prospective students should know that this is a very manageable psychology class and as long as they attend al lectures and keep up with the readings, they will be successful.

The best aspects of this class included the professor’s obvious passion and interest in her field, which she used to make the lectures informative, engaging, and focused. Students loved the materials covered in the course and thought that the information was presented in a helpful and easy way. Some students found the writing assignments and exams to be somewhat difficult. Suggestions for improvement included providing more detailed instructions on what was expected for the essays, and posting the lectures online so that students could use that information to study more effectively. Prospective students should attend every lecture and keep up with the reading to ensure that they get the most out of the course.

The best part about this course was the engaging and thought provoking lectures provided by a thoughtful and enthusiastic professor. Students who went to class were rewarded on exams. This course tried to present unbiased research, as well as new developments in the field. Some students found the tests confusing. This course could be improved by making the lecture notes available online after class, and providing more feedback on assignments. Prospective students should be deeply motivated to learn about the origins of human thought. No background in psychology is needed to do well in this course.
