EDPSYCH 321
Quality 4/5Difficulty 2/5
I disagree with the other rating. Ed psych 321 was an easy A class if one is willing to put in time to study. The tests were extremely straightforward and very manageable, the professor gives students a very handy study guide as well. Lectures were excellent and papers did not take very long at all.

EDPSYCH 321
Quality 2/5Difficulty 4/5
Already vague in what she expected from students before the pandemic, but after the pandemic, it got harder to read her mind. Got even more frustrated with the class when she did not make the course any easier/more flexible despite a global pandemic taking over our lives. For being so picky, she should hold weekly office hours. Or AT LEAST the TA
