Not bad- read the slides and the few chapters he emphasizes its an easy A. 2 tests, and a basically non-cumulative final besides for reviewing the neuron
The best teacher I have ever had....not only do you stay awake during lectures, you WANT to GO to lectures. He is brilliant, and makes all of the material he covers interesting. HOWEVER--i underestimated the enjoyment for easiness...do study and go to lecture....he is a lot more detail oriented than you think. If you are thinking about taking a psych class THIS CLASS IS THE ONE YOU SHOULD TAKE!!!
The material requires serious consideration and if you are not familiar with it previously, it might be difficult. The exams usually are short essays based on comparison. He loves dates memorization.
Professor Currie was a laid-back teacher who taught the material well and let us out early almost every class. My only problem with this class was that it was at 6:10 at night. If you study the slides you will do just fine on the tests- most of the questions from the test were straight from the slides- book is not so imporant. You can study the night before and still get an A on the test- and he curves if necessary- one test he added 7 points to everyone's tests. If you study youll get an A.
This was my favorite class of my entire college career!!! He’s such a sweetheart and honestly the best lecturer I’ve ever come across. Unlike previous semesters there’s no need to read the book at all. Just make sure you come to class, take really good notes, and an A is super manageable. I literally just went to class and took meticulous notes and ended up with an A+. His lectures are also really interesting so you won’t get bored.
Prof. Canbeyli is very prepared for the material that he is covering. I can't get over the fact that he can handle 3 hours of lecture without looking at his notes even once. He knows everything thoroughly, which makes this class highly recomendable. He is willing to explain into length everything that students don't understand. I regret the fact that he teaches only during the summer.
3 exams. Final is not cumulative except for 2 topics covered in the beginning of the semester.
3 noncumulative, multiple choice (surprisingly challenging for MC) exams Read if you want an A
Prof Horvitz is great lecturer. He always comes well prepared with clear slide show demonstrations. He really knows his stuff and is passionate about teaching. Additionally, he has a very good sense of humor, which is compunded by the fact that he often laughs at his own jokes. Overall, a great class to take even if u despise science.
Previous reviews have been way too harsh. You tottaly do not have to go to class ever considering that the lecture material is all posted on courseworks. As long as you memorize every word of those slides, you will do fine on the test. Don't even bother with the textbook ( a huge relief considering the millions of extra details that could be covered if the textbook material was on the exams). Getting an A in this class is not nearly as hard as some make it out to be-just know the slides and you will definately do fine.
