Spring 2021 - I really enjoyed taking this class. If you have the option to take Psych 120A with Professor Clewett you totally should! Although the tests were somewhat hard, if you put in the work you should be able to get a B or A on them. Lectures are podcasted (as of this quarter) and you have a weekly quiz most weeks as well as a small assignment and discussion section with a completion attendance question. 2 Exams. Textbook not really necessary. Would take another one of his classes in the future!

Fall 2021 - This class was fascinating, and I enjoyed Prof Clewett's engaging lecture style. He gave many in-class demos to demonstrate various theories and paradigms used in memory research. The work outside of lectures included: weekly quizzes (takes <15min), 2 blogposts (3pg casual scientific articles which you get to pick the topic for), and 1 final research paper. The research paper is probably the only rather difficult part of this class since it is an 7-8 pg paper and you have to pick your own topic, think of your own research study, and write a proposal on it. I found this challenging since you kind of have to start from scratch and research until you have a general understanding of where the field is at before you even pick what your study will test, so it was very time consuming. BUT having no midterms/final makes up for it. Overall, I would recommend taking this class: enjoyed lectures, work wasn't too bad, learned a lot.
