Comments on the course

A very chill course, can be content heavy but it's not too bad if you are on top of the content.

Course Content

The content of the class was good, I enjoyed the first half of the semester's content. You don't need to use the textbook as most of the content is found on the slides, and some content mentioned in class.

Comments on the professor

I loved this class and it's because of Dr. Padden's method of teaching. She wants you to do great in her class and she explains concepts really well. She's very inspiring!

Advice

Go to the classes, the iClicker participation really helps and can have yyou engaged in actually going to class. I used the slides to make flashcards and study, you seriously don't need the textbook. Also go to the labs and ask your TA for help during lab time!

Comments on the course

It was an interesting course that taught me a lot about the different aspects of psychology. The course has 10 quizzes (the lowest can be dropped), a midterm and a final exam, along with a Sona participation that can lower the weight of the final exam. The classwork and study process can be quite heavy, so make sure to find time to really focus on the course.

Course Content

You learn about all aspects of psychology (intro to all psychology courses).

Comments on the professor

The professor was super kind and was very supportive towards my learning experience.

Advice

1) After taking notes, make sure to study and review those notes ahead of time. This can make a big difference for your studying process for the midterm and final exam. 2) Reach out to the teacher if you have any questions! 3) Buy the textbook and read information that was not covered during the lectures.

Comments on the course

Easy, but not very useful. I don't feel like I learned very much when it came to GIS, but it's a prerequisite for more advanced GIS courses. It's one of those courses.

Course Content

It's mostly making a storymap. Too much story maps, not enough GIS.

Advice

The labs can take longer than expected.

Comments on the course

Overall, good class

Course Content

There's presentations from prospective employers from the public, private, and nonprofit sectors. There's presentations by students about the textbook, this class is a semester long group projects, and there's usually an short essay every week about the content.

Comments on the professor

Ryan Shadbolt is legendary and cares a lot. He will let you resubmit assignments if you turn it in a week early.

Advice

Prepare for groups of 7 people
