The course content would be fine, it’s very simple especially if you are in upper year psych. However, this prof decided to put a comp sci spin on everything, and be as vague as humanly possible in everything. The final had questions so vague I thought it was a joke. The rubrics for assignments were a bit better, but I waited 2.5 months to receive any grades, and knew nothing going into the final.

This is single-handedly the most useless professor I have ever had the displeasure of interacting with in my whole academic career. The way he teaches is by reading off of his slides, so you end up teaching yourself the content. Communication is slim to none. I enjoyed the content of the class for the most part, and heard good things when it was taught by other professors, but this was a massive disappointment to say the very least. Do not take this class, or any other class taught by this professor sent straight from hell.

Do not take it.

The course was excellent! I found everything to be very manageable for a first-year course. First off, the course outline has 2 mini assignments (a self-analysis and film assignment), a midterm (open book), and a final exam (closed book). Her outline was very fair and easy to manage, though I do suggest starting your assignments early. Her lectures also do get recorded, but attendance is suggested! I also do want to mention that the TAs were perfect choices for the course and will be most helpful for your learning. Don't be afraid to ask them for help during your TA classes!

In this course, it explores various topics using a psychology and sociology lens of focus. Personally, I found the content to be very interesting and helpful for my growth in the psychology field. It dives deeper into other topics, but you learn about how the relationships between individuals can impact their lives in society.

Dr. Erica Speakman is one of the best professors I have ever had. She teaches her content very well and is very encouraging, communicative and supportive towards students. Her lectures are very engaging, and you won't get bored listening to her teaching.

You don't need to buy the textbook for this course. There IS a free version that she suggested to students to use but make sure to double check with her first in case this does change in the future.

Great course! Many interesting cases, short videos and readings.

Yes if any interest in law.

The professor is extremely knowledgeable. Quick to respond.

This class was really boring and I learnt nothing. The only good thing about this class was that it was marked super easily and was not difficult to get good grades on the assignments
