BY FAR, MY MOST FAVORITE CLASS EVER! Professor Enders was so accommodating to his students' needs, especially during this hard quarter. He actually makes statistics more fun to learn, which if you had statistics before, you will realize is hard. The grade distribution is: Class Prep Quizzes (25%), Content Quizzes (10%) , Lab Assignments (25%), and Midterm and Final (combined 40%). I had so much fun taking this class! At first, I was scared for lab, because I'm not really good at coding, but Enders taught us how to use jamovi and I actually started looking forward to doing lab assignments every week. He was so nice to give us multiple chances to do the class prep and content quizzes, so we could get the highest score possible. Overall, if you have the opportunity to take Psych 100A with Enders, I would say go for it! You won't regret it!
LOVE ENDERS HE IS AWESOME.
This class uses iClicker but is only graded on answering 50% of the questions (accuracy does not count); later in the quarter I stopped attending class and just did iClicker from my room when I had other work that needed to be done. I found this class very interesting and could see myself using the knowledge in the future even though I don't plan on going into research. There are pre-class quizzes and post-chapter quizzes, all of which you can keep redoing (it will randomize the questions from a large bank), until you get the grade that you want. I found that really smart and nice because indirectly I was studying by retaking them until I got a 100, and ended up really knowing the content because of how many times I would take those quizzes. It is a really nice way to encourage learning and know that your grade is not dependent on your accuracy but your willingness to learn. Using the software to analyze data was pretty fun, and overall I highly recommend this class with Enders! He made it very easy and enjoyable.
Take psych stats with Enders! He made 100A so manageable and straightforward. He really wanted everyone to pass. You have more than enough time for the online exams, and he took the highest attempt of our scores on CCLE for assignments and the exam sections. He is really a chill professor so definitely get the requirement done with him!!!
He was such a great professor! He really wanted his students to succeed and did everything to make sure that we did. He uses solid grading letters, so I technically got a 92 which is an A- but in the grade book I got an A. He was great.
This class was extremely easy. If you have taken Stats 10, be prepared for a repeat of that. Enders didn't teach anything new and the lectures were very boring. I always made sure to bring something else to do. Make sure to go to class though because participation is given based on poll everywhere questions and sometimes the questions are about what he is wearing.
Such an awesome professor! He is lighthearted, straightforward, and genuinely wants what is best for his students.

Professor Enders:
This was Enders's first quarter at UCLA coming from ASU. I thought that his CCLE slides were very clean and detailed. You can basically just study the slides and go to lecture doing something else, paying attention only when you have to participate. He can get a bit rambly and his voice is a bit monotone. But he can be funny at times. I would say that he grades more than fair.
TAs:
I never really talked to any of the TAs, but I emailed Erin Arruda a lot. She responded very quickly and was always very helpful with my concerns, whether it be an assignment wasn't accessible on CCLE or my midterm grade was botched.
Midterm Grade: 30/33
The midterm was really easy. Like ridiculously easy. It consisted of only multiple choice questions, and you were allowed to use a cheat sheet, or "crib sheet," as Enders calls it. Just write down all the important things from his slides and you should get an A.
Assignments Grade: 46/56
The assignments are just quizzes using a free statistics program we downloaded for the class called JASP. He goes over how to use them in class and it's pretty simple to maneuver. You just download data sets to the program and manipulate them and interpret the results. I fucked up on the last couple assignments, but it shouldn't affect your grade too much if you do well on everything else. You can submit assignments on CCLE multiple times, but the latest submission is the one that is graded. The assignments include multiple choice questions and some short answer questions sometimes. You're given about a week to complete them.
Quizzes Grade: 140/140
After each topic there is a CCLE quiz on it. It consists of 10 multiple choice questions, and you can take it multiple times. Your highest score counts for the quiz. Each time you take it, CCLE takes different questions from a pool. These are pretty simple. He gives you about a week to complete them. If it takes you more than one try, just keep taking the quiz.
In-Class Participation - 100%
Enders uses this thing called "Poll Everywhere." You have to pay a small fee to use it for the quarter, but in class he brings up these polls that are either multiple choice or short answer and the results are updated on the screen in real time. You don't need to submit the right answer to get credit, but you can't submit gibberish answers either. I feel like participation was the only reason most people went to class, because I sat in the back and most people were doing things other than paying attention when I saw the sea of laptop screens in front of me.
Final Exam Grade: unknown, probably an A
The final was exactly the same format as the midterm, all multiple choice with a crib sheet. It was also noncumulative. Very easy.
Overall Grade: A
I think this class was incredibly easy. I've never taken statistics before, but Enders's slides were actually very informative and well-written. Sure, you didn't really need to pay attention in class to do well, but it was mostly his slides that helped me understand the concepts of psychological statistics. I would highly recommend taking Enders for 100A. You would need to try really hard to get lower than an A.
Professor Enders is a very fair, funny, and engaging teacher. Sometimes, I almost felt as if the class was too easy but I'm not complaining. I've heard from other students that Psych 100A can be extremely hard, but I definitely did not think so with Enders. He even allows any A- to be brought to an A. My first midterm was lower than I expected though because I was putting in 0 effort. However, I studied more for the final and got a 100% and an A in the class. Seriously love this guy, definitely would try and take this class with him. He is funny and doesn't try to make the material unnecessarily complicated.
This is a fairly easy class as long as you do your assignments and quizzes on time.
He gives out a lot of easy points with quizzes for each topic, which you can submit as many times until you get 100%. Assignments with SPSS are also relatively easy as long as you know how to navigate the software. There is a whole lab dedicated to that. There was also twitter questions at the beginning of the quarter, but I think that kind of stopped when there were a lot of technical problems, but those are also some points you can get easily (but use the hashtag he gives and answer before that week's lecture to actually receive the points because he's not very lenient on those)
You have to attend his lectures because he does polleverywhere points, as he is kind enough to not make his students buy actual clickers. He also doesn't require a textbook and everything you need to know are basically on his slides.
However, his lectures can be quite boring. They're long and he tends to go really into details on things that I felt like could be condensed. But that may be because I have taken AP stats before and some of the material was review for me.
His exams are multiple choice and relatively easy. They don't have any calculations and most of the questions are just simple concept/interpreting data questions. He allows you to bring in a "crib sheet," basically an 8.5x11 piece of paper with anything you want written on it. You can basically study just by making the crib sheet and you'll be fine.
Overall recommend him as a teacher as he makes sure you know the material without all the unnecessary memorizing.
