Good professor and easy material, I would just take it with any other professor because you have to score well above the median for a 93%. Her grading distribution is annoying with with zero curve. With 3% extra credit you technically only have to get a 90% for the full 4.0 in the class, which boggles down to a 162/180 points in the class needed. If you are going to a full A, take a professor with a better grading distribution, but doing well in this class is not too difficult.

The class was decent. The lecture was interesting and one could tell that the professor was passionate in her teachings. The professor was nice and would be more than willing to answer any questions you ask and officer hours was also okay. There is a midterm and final exam with no notes and there is also no texts required. She would also upload slides and study guides, so they were helpful as well. Overall, I had an okay experience.

I absolutely loved having Dr. Schorn for Psych 85. She's a fairly new professor that recently completed her PhD at UCLA, but she was awesome. The midterm and final were both super fair and straightforward. They were both online, due to the Palestine protests/TA strike. There is a LOT of content covered in each lecture; I had almost 20 pages of notes from just the first day. I made sure to take very detailed notes during lecture, and then review my notes from each lecture within 2 days of the lecture happening. This proved to be a successful strategy (for context I got a 57/60 on the midterm, and 55/60 on the final). Dr. Schorn was always super willing to answer questions after lecture and in office hours (though I didn't go to the latter). She did her undergrad at Princeton and has done work with NASA, etc. so I would definitely go to OH and talk to her about stuff if I took her class again. Overall, would highly recommend her Psych 85 class!!

The professor was super great! I do think that sometimes we would go a little too slow, but also too fast? Like we would go over a concept for quite a long time, but then over the class, we learned literally so much. I think it's hard to balance pacing since the class is an introduction to everything, and I think the professor did a good job of balancing despite this!

I thought the content was super interesting and the professor was clearly passionate about what she was talking about. The midterm and final both ended up being online due to protests going on in Dodd hall, but they were pretty straightforward if you were very familiar/memorized the slides from class. You definitely have to go to class though! She didn't record the lectures and she would demonstrate how they did studies by showing us what they showed participants (ex. having us look at a bunch of random numbers **********5701384), then write down as many as we could remember, and then having us look at and memorize nonrandom numbers (90024, 90210, 2024), showing how chunking helps us memorize more)

Professor Schorn is amazing and super knowledgable on the topic! Her lectures are super engaging and she always helped up to understand the topics more by playing videos or doing an in-class experiment. That being said, it is a lot of content and she goes super fast in class, and the two exams are pretty hard. But, our exams got moved online because of protests, so I'm not sure if she changed them. The midterm and final were worth 30% each towards the final grade. The rest was made up of completion points for a few writing assignments and a few quizzes that were online. We also got extra credit that could bump our grades by 3%. I think as long as you did the readings, extra credit, and did well on the quizzes you should get an A. Super interesting class and I would definitely recommend anyone to take it with Dr. Schorn!
