Great experience with this course. Assignments were very interesting and not meant to penalize students. Exams were very comprehensive so you definitely need to study up to do well on thosse.

It's a very in-depth introduction to social psychology and other similar fields of psychology. The material covers a lot of different big ideas about the subject. Lots of interesting topics and case studies though that stick with you after the fact.

Prof. Rivers is definitely one of the best profs that I've taken a course with. He does a great job of making lectures super interesting and he is very approachable as he encourages student questions and is open to various ideas. It's clear that he has so much passion for the subject and wants his students to do well.

Read, read, read. The lectures are super interesting but they don't cover everything from the readings in full depth. Make sure that you comb through and find all of the key terms and their definitions, but also make sure that you don't just have those memorized at heart. You have to be able to apply them to certain scenarios on the exam.
