Psych 10 has the potential to be very interesting. Although just an introductory class, we discuss many interesting studies and concepts. However, Professor Clark addresses the class as though we are kindergarten students, and, despite this, makes exams confusing and complicated. This class is okay when watched at 2x speed on Bruincast, but clicker questions and lab assignments make that impossible most of the time. She constantly defends psychology as a science as if we are fighting her on it.

It's a fine class, and it's easy if you half pay attention, but it's terribly boring and not really worth taking.

If you took AP Psych this class should literally be a review, but to new comers its actually a fun class and you go over many different interesting topics. I thought Professor Clark was a great teacher, not sure why others are saying otherwise. She talks to you as if you're a child BUT it helps make things more clear and easy to understand. There is only one midterm and one final. Her tests didn't seem that hard as long as you know terminology and can give examples of them. There were questions that could go many ways, but the tests overall were not horrible and very doable. Just reread the question.
Remember to study labs for the exams!

DO NOT BUY THE TEXTBOOK!! You never use it and I found it online.

I liked Courtney. She talked to you like you were 10 years old but she was easy to understand, and if you payed attention at all in lecture, you were good for the midterm and final. She grabs questions specific to lecture and the labs, but since its bruincasted, you dont need to pay full attention. her clicker questions are easy and mostly opinion. the only that was a pain were the group labs, especially if you got stuck with a bad lab group, but they didn't really determine your grade it was just a waste of time. the class in incredibly easy if you put in a little effort and pay attention

Professor Clark's class was a really interesting intro to psychology. The class is really interesting and done asynchronously so there's a lot of flexibility. The midterm/final have a lot of info, but are overall pretty manageable. Sometimes a lot of individual due dates pile up, but it is never difficult work. Definitely recommend this professor to anyone in psych.

selling the pdf version of the textbook for $5!
text 302-530-7784 for my venmo and i'll share it!

oh courtney. as others have said she treats and speaks to the class like elementary students and it personally irked me but other people loved her! for the midterm and final i made quizlet notecards of literally every sentence on the slides and memorized them and i think thats what got me an A!

Professor Clark's main area of study is improving the proficiency of learning. It is clear that she is studying children because she talks to the class like they are 8 year olds. She uses the work "nosh" to describe eating ?
This is not to say I did not enjoy her lectures, I often sat in the front row for lectures. She also tries to make tests "easier" or maybe fun to do, and I found that this actually can make it more difficult. She would relate synapses to a phone charging cord as an example.
This class is not hard, it can get confusing sometimes but Clark has good intentions for everyone in the class. The final was kinda hard

This class wasn't my absolute favorite but also not the worse. Professor Clark is sweet, funny, and explains things well.

More about the class:

-Lectures are Bruincast
-Discussion section attendance is mandatory - there are weekly assignments there
-Participation matters, you'll need an iclicker
-Exams are multiple-choice/short answer
-The final is CUMULATIVE so tons of material - do not cram for it
-The exams are not that easy, so look at the slides, listen to lectures, and review a lot (know the concepts inside out)
-There are weekly writing assignments (around 1 page each)
-There is a midterm, cumulative final exam, and final paper (5 pages, not super easy)

I'm just being transparent because there were no reviews about this class with Clark.
It is interesting, lectures are engaging but in all honesty, be prepared to put the work in. Do the extra credit, attend class, attend section, get full credit on the weekly assignments (they're not too bad)... everything you can to get points so that you have some wiggle room for the exams and paper.

Good luck!

I was really interested in the content, but honestly this class felt more like a job. However, I think this was the case just because it was online. I wish I got to take this class in person because it is definitely one that is harder to learn online. All quizzes and tests were open-note and there were a lot of extra assignments each week, but nothing ever too heavy. The lectures were by far the toughest part of this course. Professor Clark is very nice and accommodating, but often talks down to us as if we are small kids.

Eh, the pacing of this class isn’t great, and the tests aren’t the best. Clark is extremely average

I really enjoyed this class! Clark was always very bubbly and her lectures were always so interesting and fun. The tests are not too hard, just as long as you can apply knowledge of the material to real life situations. She gives little homework, just occasional lab reports and quizzes on CCLE. The one thing that I didn't like about the class was the fact that we had to work in lab groups a few times. That might just be a personal thing though since I prefer to work alone unless I know the people I'm working with, but if you don't enjoy group work then that might be annoying for you too. Also, be prepared for people not paying attention and asking the same question five different ways either in class or on Piazza, but these grievances have nothing to do with the class or Clark, but rather with the people who were in Psych 10. Other than that though, the class was pretty low stress and I'd highly recommend taking it.
