Overall an easy class if you memorize the slides. I thought it was an interesting class with an engaging professor. Just memorize the slides and you'll do well tbh.

Honestly I was not expecting to get the grade I got. I got 100% on everything except for the midterm (80%) and the final (70%). This class didn't have that heavy of a workload and the fact that there is no discussion attached is nice. However, the professor does not give a study guide for either exam and so that was pretty unhelpful. Overall this class is okay the material is interesting but make sure you really pay attention because a lot of the things she says aren't on the slides.

Professor Clark is an extremely nice person who really cares about her students. Her lectures are not necessarily the most engaging, but they are not horrible. You do not need the rent/buy the $130+ textbook because it is not useful at all. The syllabus is as follows:

-Lab Component= 15%
a.) This class requires that you participate in a lab component or else you fail the class automatically. This involves booking psychological studies that you participate in. These can last anywhere from 1-3 hours, but it completely depends on you. If you have no time, you can opt out of the studies and instead write Psych abstracts( One Page, Double spaced= Not bad at all/ really easy). The 15% is made up of 60% labs 1-7 which are done in class individually and with a group(Fun and easy), and the remaining 40% is your final lab report which is two pages double-spaced. A rubric/ guide is provided. Your lowest lab score is dropped

-Online Quizzes= 10%
a.) There are four online quizzes that are not timed and are open book. There is no reason for you to get anything less than 100%. Your lowest quiz score is dropped.

-Participation(Clickers)= 5%
a.) You have to answer half the clicker questions, for half the days of class. Not graded/ just for attendance, not correctness.

-Midterm= 30%
a.) Pretty fair examination- Average was around 84%. To do well on this test, study the slides and look up AP Psychology quizlets. This is a multiple choice test and very doable if you study. 60 questions

-Final= 40%
a.) Multiple Choice again, cumulative, with more emphasis on post-midterm material. Study slides and quizlets to test terms. 75 questions

This class is not graded on a curve and is on a straight scale ( 90-92= A-, 93-96= A, 97+= A+).

Clark definitely does get agitated when people are whispering, even if nobody else can hear what she is hearing, but it's not that big of a deal. The TAs are super nice- Shoutout to Miriam- she was the best!

In conclusion, TAKE THIS CLASS, IT IS FAIR AND PRETTY INTERESTING. YOU WILL DO GREAT.

Dr. Clark is a nice person, but her lectures were often disengaging. A lot of the material she talked about was often interesting, but her lecture style often bored a lot of students. Also, her exams were often very tough, she would often put things on her exams that were not covered on lecture slides. In addition, she becomes hella pissed if you even start whispering in class. Often she would go on her tippy toes, then shush the class by putting two fingers on her lips in the middle of her lecture just because someone in the back just whispered something. Obviously, the rest of the class would start laughing afterward but I dunno what she was doing.

Furthermore, some of her vernacular when she talks about people of color, underserved, inner-city populations, etc. were a little bit offensive. Her terminology especially when describing colored people and stereotyping was a bit offensive, though I am sure she was not trying to negatively describe colored people in the first place.

I would take Danan rather than her for Psych 10. Most people would agree.
