Took Psych 453. Dr. J is solid and was lucky to have her in discussion. Lectures were pretty boring but not mando. She speaks very monotone BUT she is super educated on everything sex-ed and gender/identity related. Not a bad Psych class by any means, she provided lots of extra cred. Make sure to read the textbook, it's essential.Rate My Professors ↗
Took PSYCH453. Went to lecture maybe twice and still got an A. Discussion felt like high school (condoms on zucchini, STI charades). Content was painfully basic. Not a psych class, just sex ed. Textbook was dense and dull. Dr. Jerald is smart but should probably be teaching something more advanced, not this!Rate My Professors ↗
She gave fairly engaging lectures and cared about her students and provided lots of extra credit. However, I took Psych 453, not 522. Do not take that class. It is a semester long extremely in depth sex-ed course. Very little to do with psychology, lots of content, and extremely rigid attendance policy for discussions. Hopefully it will be revised.Rate My Professors ↗
