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.

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

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

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!

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

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.

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.

Take PSYCH10 with Prof. Clark!!

I don't understand why some of the reviews here are so horrible. Professor Clark is very kind and engaging. She always tries to make her class interesting and she would try to make jokes every once in a while. Although some of the jokes did not land, I appreciate her effort.

Yes, she does shush people when they are talking really loud in class. But, what do you expect? You go to class to learn about the materials, not learn about your classmate's personal problems. If you get shushed, it just means you're being disrespectful to the other students who are trying to learn.

Her workload really isn't heavy at all. She gives us a proper time length to complete quizzes, and labs. And she also told us in the beginning of the class that "you should read the textbook because i will take materials from there" but honestly just go through her slides and you'll be fine. She takes most of the materials for the exams from her slides anyway.

so yes!! take her!!! u won't regret it

This was an interesting class and Professor Clark is so sweet. She's really quirky and passionate about psychology. The midterm and final were harder than I expected, but I started studying really late. She gives great advice and helpful tips throughout the course, and if you follow her advice, it's easy to get an A. Labs are usually group projects, so make sure you find a good group the first few classes because you stay with the same group throughout the course. There are online quizzes once in a while, but they're worth 5% and pretty easy if you pay attention in class. The grade is based off of clicker participation (5%), quizzes (5%), the midterm (35%) , final (35%), labs(10%), and a final lab report (10%). There's also no discussion for this class, which is nice, but the class itself is a 2 hour long class. Overall, a great class and a great professor to take it with!

The midterm and final had little to do with what was talked about in lecture. Questions were very detailed. Difficult for an intro class.
