    "comment": "Professor Jones seems really short via email, but in class is very outgoing and caring. Psych205 should be taken by any and all freshman psych majors--it allows you to meet professors, learn what they're studying, helps prepare you to be involved in research, and solidifies the love of psychology.",

    "comment": "I recommend Psych 205 to every first-year psych major. This class is light on homework and super interesting. Each class a new researcher presents their work and it is legitimately interesting every week. She also has a lot of advice for class enrollment and teaches how to get involved in labs, research, service, etc. Super helpful.",
