Her exams are 80% textbook based and 20% lecture based. The issue with this is that she keeps a lot of the material in her lectures and textbook separate. So she wants you to go to her lectures, learn that content, and then go home and learn the textbook separately by urself. You cannot pass without the textbook because she will not mention any of this info in the lectures and it is what most of the exam consists of. Some of the content in lectures and textbook overlap, but most of the textbook info is ONLY in the textbook. There is so much content in the textbook chapters and they take hours to read through once, let alone re-read and study. So that part was really stressful and time consuming, but it was definitely worse because I was cramming. But self teaching it all was really annoyin...read more

History of diagnosis, and then each chapter is focused on a different category of disorders like schizophrenia, depression, anxiety, psychosis... and the different specific disorders within these categories ** there is mention of some difficult topics**

Her lectures are super interesting and engaging. She has so many related personal stories that connect to the content, she's really funny, and super nice to talk to. I think she is great. The only thing that was annoying was the whole self-teaching the textbook thing

Just be prepared for the amount of time you'll need to study the textbook in advance. Space out your studying from the week classes start and don't fall behind because cramming the whole textbook in a couple of days is not really an option. It's best to study less each week as you go. But again exams aren't crazy hard once you go through the study process. I got a good grade so it's possible.

She marks participation with password protected quizzes that she provides in class (rly rly small percentage of your total grade). She drops the lowest one so you can skip one There are (almost) weekly quizzes, sometimes skips a week. They are proctored but not hard if you read the slides over. Also drops the lowest one. There are two assignments but they're not very long and they're not marked very harshly. She's willing to review your grade. There is one midterm and one final(non-cumulative) and they're not too hard -- Just read the slides and use the textbook for additional context and you'll be fine. Lectures are kinda helpful but honestly, if you need to skip and use the slides and textbook, you should still be okay. Its not crazy time consuming but its not exactly a bird course eithe...read more

Definitely useful and very interesting content. Just the basic aspects of memory like episodic, semantic, autobiographical, aging effects, memory mistakes and false memory, age and memory, metamemory...

She's not a bad prof at all but her lectures are nothing to write home about -- They're just lectures. She's nice and you can tell she tries to not just read straight off the slides which is nice.

Honestly if you go over the content in the slides you will be fine. If you don't understand something, use a free, older edition of the textbook online to find the explanation and you can get 90%+. Lectures are helpful but it is okay to skip sometimes, although I recommend not skipping.

interesting and fun. prof had a good pace.

Nice introduction to programming. If you had any programming experience before this you would say it is extremely easy.

Very good

pay attention and ask questions if ur unsure. Prof is helpful.
