For a class cross listed as psych, there was almost no psych involved. The class was heavily focused on math/physics/statistics problems but with no examples and definitely no solutions given. If she gave sols, they were often wrong. Her lecture slides are awful and she seems to dislike her students.

Beware of the math and physics component in this course. The main reason behind my one is the poor structure, psych majors can even take the lab section, it's an essential part of this course if you want to succeed.
