Fall 2024 - Easiest class in the Psychology department, but probably also one of the most real life applicable ones. You learn about healthy aging and debunking theories— gets you thinking a bit about young vs old and the stereotypes behind old age. Professor is also very kind and knowledgable. You are graded on a 1-2 page thought paper, two free-response exams, and a final 4-5 page paper. All are graded leniently and are not very difficult. Lectures were recorded (audio recordings on slides) and exams were online, only 5 questions. As long as you try, there is no way you will get less than an A or A+.
