Quality 4/5Difficulty 2/5
I took PSY532 and could not recommend it enough, as long as you can stay on top of the many "busy work" assignments you have to do throughout the sem. YOU MUST READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS, you can lose points so easily if you don't follow instructions on how to embed, attach, etc. The 1week flexibility deadline is so so helpful, but must stay focused.

I really enjoyed this class. The information was interesting and the material was mostly covered in the book and then expanded in class. The activities in class are interesting for the most part and she seems like she enjoys the subject.

You do a lot of the work on your own. Lecture time is spent on activities to help you engage with the material you are learning. There is a pretty quick turnaround for which you are expected to have gone through modules. It's time consuming but worth it if you are interested in the material. Dr. Andrews is very nice.

amazing class, pretty easy, and she is a great teacher. There is a lot of work, but as long as you grind, you'll do well

Dr. Andrews had a very organized canvas. Each assignment was very straight forward. Assignments are manageable as there were only 3 discussion posts and a quiz each week. The quizzes are VERY easy and NOT honor locked.
