PSYCH 225
Quality 1/5Difficulty 3/5
The first class I ever dropped (flopped lol) because you'd think for a class of such importance with so much to do, everything would be a bit more clear and she would be better at explaining, but it isn't and she's not. If you take it, good luck. Hope you get a TA that actually knows how to do their job because the prof will NOT help you.

PSYCH 225
Quality 1/5Difficulty 3/5
TRULY the most boring and pointless class ever taken. Professor Donovan wastes your time each and every class. Attendance is MANDATORY graded by written assignments in lecture. The class is very easy, but you will find yourself unclear on all of her instructions, and chugging caffeine just to get through her boring assignments.
