This class is interesting and an easy A. A lot of people I know got 100% on the midterm and high A's on the final. You're with your lab group for the whole quarter, so try to choose good people. Clark was super helpful and tried to make lectures engaging, so I'd definitely recommend!
I had already taken this class as an AP in high school and had AP credit but because of dental school preferences I had to take it in college. For this reason I found the material pretty easy because it was the exact same as in my AP class. Professor Clark was a clear and organized lecturer and I liked her. The class was pretty reasonable and you have to stay on top of assignments and study because there's a lot of memorization but overall everything was pretty fair. Be smart about the SONA requirement and get it done early in the quarter when studies are available and you have time.
Dr. Clark is really nice, and I loved her class. Because of COVID and online teaching, she was really flexible with the class - lectures were posted on CCLE and you could do them for participation credit (some really easy multiple choice to just see if you watched the video) any time within a week of her posting it. She made the midterm and final open note. The final was made optional and no-harm (your higher grade from midterm/final is used and weighted to what they would have been together) in light of the protests and everything going on in finals.
You have some mini-lab stuff to do for discussion, but we only met as a discussion like 3 times, and if you couldn't come due to time zone or something, you could complete the activities on your own, it was pretty flexible.
She was really nice and answered people's questions on Piazza a lot and was helpful in office hours. Overall, would highly recommend taking this with Dr. Clark. It wasn't a very stressful class, which was good because there was so much else going on.
Dr. Clark is an extremely nice Professor! She is really caring and great at teaching. I thought that she did a great job at transitioning the course to online. The concepts are really interesting and she does a great job at teaching them. I really enjoyed the Minilabs as well, where we got to basically develop simple experimental outlines during Discussion Sections. It was really helpful!
I enjoyed taking Psych 10 with Courtney. All of her lectures were pre-recorded and we only attended class on Thursdays for lab (which wasn't always required to go to). There was a decent amount of work to complete each week, but it was mostly simple assignments that were mostly just for participation. Quizzes were sometimes difficult but were open notes. Same with the final exam. There are video assignments (four to be exact) where you have to explain certain concepts in psychology. The hardest part was getting the video to be less than a minute. There are also article analysis readings that were pretty easy and interesting. You also have the SONA research requirements. I would just recommend getting those done ASAP so you don't have to worry about them later. Overall, I think Professor Clark was really nice and a great lecturer.
This class was very much the same thing as Psych 10 (also took with Clark). Lectures were all very clear, and most of the information was presented in Psych 10. There were weekly mini-labs and one paged assignments, but they were all very much busy work and probably graded on a completion basis. The paper was a 1200 word essay that was basically a research proposal (think 100B but graded a lot easier and simplified a LOT). Also might have been graded on completion.
Our midterm was open book/note (30 MC Q's and 3 short answers), but you could not return to former questions. This made timing difficult, but overall, the questions were super easy and the average was high. Professor Clark is very receptive to feedback and responsive to student questions on Piazza. This class was not really educational to be honest, but it was easy.
Honestly the class is pretty easy in terms of material. She had open book tests so you also didn't really have to memorize the plethora of information from lectures. Also thank god I took this during spring 2020 bc if I wouldn't have been able to speed up the extremely slow talking speed of clark this class would've been a lot more awful. Only real downside about this class is that it was kinda a lot of work that you had to do for it
Courtney Clark is an amazing professor, honestly one of the best ones I've had at UCLA thus far. I am not a psych major yet I enjoy this class very much. There is a lot of work that is entailed but if you do it you're guaranteed to get a great grade.
This class was hard for me, but I enjoyed it. I had a pretty biased view on psychology going into the course, but I find it interesting now. I thought we would mainly learn about clinical psychology, which I wasn’t too excited about, but we also learned a lot about brain anatomy, how people learn, how people develop, how memory works, and more.
Courtney Clark is so nice and the teaching team is super friendly and helpful. This class is mainly asynchronous, although it is listed as online recorded. Class structure is a longer “lesson” on Tuesday and a shorter “lesson” on Thursday with an hour live lab on Thursday. Lessons are a series of videos with a tiny bit of questions that are graded on completion. Lessons can be quite long, but I watch them on double speed.
Labs are pretty easy. Some are mandatory, some can be completed on your own. Some labs are completed with a group that you work with again later. I really liked my group, so I didn’t mind. Labs are graded on accuracy, but if you have any questions just as a TA during the live lab sessions. You do some experiments and send out some surveys, but nothing extremely hard.
The tests are the hardest things about this class. There are five quizzes but she drops the lowest quiz. The quizzes are somewhat hard. They’re questions about very detailed things that I just don’t remember. Some of the questions are on Quizlet, but not all of them. The final was also pretty hard because again there were many detailed things that were skimmed over very fast in lectures or were not even mentioned at all.
