Fall 2023 - Wow, what can I say. Dr. Ho is an amazing professor, her lecture presentations clear and concise, never boring with the research and excitement she shares with the class. The class content is interesting, and the fact that we learn about a variety of adolescent psychiatric conditions that draw in the biology and computer science fields really adds a spark to learning! Take this class as your laboratory requirement for psych with Dr. Ho!! No exams, only paper, research presentation, and some R coding that is super simple to follow along with (no prior experience needed!)

Winter 2019 - Honestly, very disappointing. We barely did anything the entire class besides participation, class assignments, one midterm, and a final paper. Seeing the grade distribution on bruinwalk, I thought the class would be chill but they graded the final paper so hard. I wish they were thorough with their paper instructions because I included everything they asked for yet got a C. Also, the professor is very nice and approachable but she's not very helpful answering emails during finals week. I gave both TA and professor very good reviews but I wish I could take them back because they did not clarify paper instructions nor make an effort to help me outside of their office hours.

Fall 2020 - I believe this was the first time that Professor Mesri taught Psych 126. I bought the required textbook but it was completely unnecessary, as the grade was based on 4 simple assignments (55%) and the final essay (45%). I really enjoyed the lectures and class activities but I would say the grading in the second half of the quarter was pretty tough and at time unclear. The whole class was around setting up a class experiment, conducting it, and writing up a report which ended up being ~20 pages (including title page, references, and tables). Definitely the most writing for a class I've done at UCLA. I learned a lot though and this class is definitely helpful to prepare for psychology research/grad school! If you time manage well, it should be no problem. She also offers extra credit through SONA studies and is very flexible about attendance. Setting up a class GroupMe was also super helpful!
