EDPSYCH 301
Quality 4/5Difficulty 2/5
A very kind professor who truly wants to know how to improve and to do better for her students. She is very accommodating. We have a couple short papers, and 1-2 slightly longer ones (800, and 1000-1300 word count) for the longer ones, and three exams. Everything is graded very fairly, with in-depth grading criteria. Exams are not overly difficult.
