PSYC 1010

memorize the slides and you'll be fine!

Only study the powerpoint. But you will get some tangential two or three questions right if you take the time to skim the book.

ONLY STUDY THE POWERPOINT SLIDES! There's no need to read the book. Enthusiastic professor and lectures are fairly interesting.

This class is difficult in the sense that the exam questions either go in depth about things that he generalized in class or they generalize topics that he elaborated upon. Some questions are very ambiguous. There is no homework outside of class. He never assigns readings from the textbook, and I found it difficult to use the textbook to study because the topics were all scattered.

Straightforward lectures. Literally, Dodson just reads off the Powerpoints, which is where he gets his test questions. You have 4 tests (one gets dropped) and then a final. The questions can be extremely tricky sometimes and cover a lot of material since it's an introductory course. It's an okay class. Wouldn't necessarily recommend.

Shouldn't be a hard class...if you study the slides two days before the test you should be fine. Yet, I still found a way to get C's on nearly all of the tests even when I thought I did well. Chad's great, but his tests can be a little tricky (they are fair, however).

It wasn't a bad class, but I thought the class would be easier. It is extremely broad, which can make things difficult at times, and the tests, though they shouldn't have been hard, were very nitpicky and even if you study, go to all the lectures, you could get a C on the test because they are designed to trick you. However, the professor was enthusiastic and seemed to enjoy teaching, so that made the class good. Otherwise, I wouldn't take it unless you have to.

Dodson is so enthusiastic that it makes otherwise dull lectures relatively fun to go to. It is a good general overview of psychology.

The professor is good and keeps the lectures interesting with videos of cool psych experiments. Pretty easy class and all lecture slides are online.

Although I never really got to know the professor, he makes lectures very interesting and is incredibly animated. As noted before, we watched a lot of videos and the lecture slides were all online (which is really nice). The TA was awesome. The tests weren't very hard if you study. Overall, i'd really recommend this class!
