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!
