One of the most hyped up courses at Mac, everyone raves about it, so in that sense, it is a bit overrated. The material is interesting but in can be dry for a lot of people too. It's also definitely not a bird, but also not hard to get a 12 either. Also, there's module lectures too and you have to make notes on them, and I absolutely hated modules in any class I had
Great prof, funny and makes the content relatable. A little cringe at times, but it's fun and he's definitely helpful

If I had to recommend any course to anyone who's willing to take a course that's not exactly "bird" but really interesting and useful, I'd recommend MacIntroPsych courses. The course is set up so beautifully. Content is interesting. Modules are clean and easy to follow, and fun! The profs are awesome people and don't make going to class a chore. You have to do a quiz each week on that week's content. That might sound awful to some people, but oh my gosh is it useful. I think I ended up remembering most of the content from my IntroPsych courses than any other class simply because of this. And, they were marked pretty fairly. The profs are psychologists; of course they teach you in ways that are proven to be effective for studying, and it shows in your marks.
I had Dr. Kim. Really cool dude with a knack for explaining things effectively. He was really passionate and interested in his work. I find that he does speak a little slow for some people's comfort though. He's also got a pretty good sense of humour, so that's a plus.
Do the weekly quizzes. Actually try testing yourself when answering the questions in the modules. You end up remembering a lot of content by the end of the class. Do attend tutorials and read the textbook as some questions are pulled from both of them. This class can be a bird if you make it.
Joe Kim and Michelle Cadieux. Both are fantastic profs.

It was a fairly easy course with one midterm and final exam. There are also weekly quizzes and tutorials. Lectures are interesting as well but only apply the concepts from the modules. Textbook is just a detailed version of the modules, you can do well without the textbook since only 10% of questions come from it and they’re pretty easy to guess. But I used it when a weird quiz question came up, so it’s definitely useful to have. This course is useful for learning behavioural psychology type stuff and should be good for MCAT.
Very nice man, does talk slowly tho lol, 9.5/10.
In order to do well, I would mainly focus and make notes on the modules as they are majorly tested.
