PSYCH 450
Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
Chris Coe was great! He is very passionate about his class and takes his time in lectures, giving us time to take notes. He doesn't mind stopping to answer questions, which is very helpful. The class is graded on a few exams but to me, the material was very interesting and now I really want to go to Africa and work in a primate rescue center.

Quality 3/5Difficulty 3/5
Everything on the exams is from lectures even if he just randomly mentions something off-hand it'll be on the exams which is super frustrating. He is very knowledgable and cares a lot about his subject, but he speaks at about 1/2 the speed of a normal person. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend this class, but it's not the worst choice for a psych class

Dr. Coe is the reason I became interested in environmental science and conservation. His lectures were always interesting and exams were multiple choice & not difficult if you reviewed the day or two before. If you're not a life sciences major, highly recommend as your bio credits! Honestly, I recommend this class to everyone.
