Spring 2021 - There are 2 midterms, a 6 week emotion journal, a thought paper about the emotional journal and a thought paper about the book America the Anxious. The first half of the class is honestly the most confusing part because there are so many different models of emotions that you really have to understand to do well in the tests but the second half of the class is significantly more straight forward thus midterm 2 was way easier. Tests are closed book close notes. I loved learning about emotion in depth and Professor Eisenberger is a sweetheart that explains everything to the best of her ability if you don't understand!
