PSYCH 456
Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
Professor Bruun is probably the best professor I've had at UW. She was an absolutely amazing lecturer. She was so engaging and genuinely excited to see students learn. Her course used very clear grading criteria, and she was always so open to answering questions. Attendance was not mandatory, but it is part of your grade (with reasonable excuses).

Quality 5/5Difficulty 2/5
Social psych is one of my favorite classes I've taken at UW! Megan made lectures interesting and kept everyone engaged. She was always willing to answer people's questions and explain topics in a relatable way. There is a textbook for the class, although the exams will mainly cover lecture content.

PSYCH 456
Quality 5/5Difficulty 2/5
Professor Bruun was one of my favorite professors I've had! She is super funny, easygoing, and actually takes the time to learn student's names and get to know them. Lecture material is straightforward and easy to understand. She always takes time to answer questions and have discussions. I would recommend reading the textbook. 100% recommend!

Amazing lecturer. Very engaging and always conversing with students in class (likes to hear feedback and have conversations). Lecture material is straightforward and aligns well with textbook (definite need). Also very accessible outside class and willing to help. 100% would take again.
