I took Psych 10 for no reason other than it's interesting to me and I wanted to learn more. This class was great to fulfill that purpose! Prof Clark is sweet and engaging, and often incorporates videos into her slides to illustrate the concepts. I looked forward to going every week.
Labs are also part of this class, and happen during the lecture. You could take it with friends but it honestly doesn't matter. I probably spent like 1-2 hours max outside of lecture working on this class. Slides are posted and are really all you need to know for the midterm/final. (Final became optional because of corona, so I didn't take it anyway).
Overall if you're interested in the topic I would recommend it!

First of all - don't waste your time reading the textbook, Clark covers everything you need to know for exams. Honestly my main complaint about the class is that 2 hours is way too long for this lecture, but Professor Clark did a really good job keeping the class engaging. As a person, she's incredibly sweet, before class always mingling and trying to get to know students, you can easily see she really cares about what she's doing. It is true she can sometimes speak to you like you're 5, but I'd rather have that than her talk to us like we're PHD students in an intro to psych course. You have to attend class because of clicker points but you get 3 free skips which is nice. Labs are SO straightforward as long as you pay attention and ask questions you should get an 100 on every single one. Biggest pain in the ass about this class is the 6 hours of research you have to participate in but whatever. Personally, I'm not overly interested in psych but I still had a good time. Glad I had a friend for my lab group, made it much more fun. TAs are helpful at review sessions and such, but no discussion which is also nice.

This class is interesting and an easy A. A lot of people I know got 100% on the midterm and high A's on the final. You're with your lab group for the whole quarter, so try to choose good people. Clark was super helpful and tried to make lectures engaging, so I'd definitely recommend!

I had already taken this class as an AP in high school and had AP credit but because of dental school preferences I had to take it in college. For this reason I found the material pretty easy because it was the exact same as in my AP class. Professor Clark was a clear and organized lecturer and I liked her. The class was pretty reasonable and you have to stay on top of assignments and study because there's a lot of memorization but overall everything was pretty fair. Be smart about the SONA requirement and get it done early in the quarter when studies are available and you have time.

Dr. Clark is really nice, and I loved her class. Because of COVID and online teaching, she was really flexible with the class - lectures were posted on CCLE and you could do them for participation credit (some really easy multiple choice to just see if you watched the video) any time within a week of her posting it. She made the midterm and final open note. The final was made optional and no-harm (your higher grade from midterm/final is used and weighted to what they would have been together) in light of the protests and everything going on in finals.

You have some mini-lab stuff to do for discussion, but we only met as a discussion like 3 times, and if you couldn't come due to time zone or something, you could complete the activities on your own, it was pretty flexible.

She was really nice and answered people's questions on Piazza a lot and was helpful in office hours. Overall, would highly recommend taking this with Dr. Clark. It wasn't a very stressful class, which was good because there was so much else going on.

Dr. Clark is an extremely nice Professor! She is really caring and great at teaching. I thought that she did a great job at transitioning the course to online. The concepts are really interesting and she does a great job at teaching them. I really enjoyed the Minilabs as well, where we got to basically develop simple experimental outlines during Discussion Sections. It was really helpful!

I enjoyed taking Psych 10 with Courtney. All of her lectures were pre-recorded and we only attended class on Thursdays for lab (which wasn't always required to go to). There was a decent amount of work to complete each week, but it was mostly simple assignments that were mostly just for participation. Quizzes were sometimes difficult but were open notes. Same with the final exam. There are video assignments (four to be exact) where you have to explain certain concepts in psychology. The hardest part was getting the video to be less than a minute. There are also article analysis readings that were pretty easy and interesting. You also have the SONA research requirements. I would just recommend getting those done ASAP so you don't have to worry about them later. Overall, I think Professor Clark was really nice and a great lecturer.

Quarter: Spring 2020

This class was very much the same thing as Psych 10 (also took with Clark). Lectures were all very clear, and most of the information was presented in Psych 10. There were weekly mini-labs and one paged assignments, but they were all very much busy work and probably graded on a completion basis. The paper was a 1200 word essay that was basically a research proposal (think 100B but graded a lot easier and simplified a LOT). Also might have been graded on completion.

Our midterm was open book/note (30 MC Q's and 3 short answers), but you could not return to former questions. This made timing difficult, but overall, the questions were super easy and the average was high. Professor Clark is very receptive to feedback and responsive to student questions on Piazza. This class was not really educational to be honest, but it was easy.
