Professor
Oscar Barragan
Most Helpful Review
Fall 2020 - I thought it was interesting that Professor Barragan has his PhD in philosophy, but can fluently teach Ev Psych. He made this class exceptionally understandable through his assigned readings and lectures. EP is an interesting subject which can be complicated (to some) to understand since the foundation of its core elements resides in theory. Yet, professor Barragan made it very understanding and totally made his class engaging. Our grade depended on two exams: midterm and a final which was MCQ. The exams were not difficult if you studied. And he did provide a study guide which was very helpful. Every week he assigned us readings that were academic articles or chapters from books which he provided through the course website. The most we read in one week was like 40 Pages, but most readings were in the range of 15-20 pages. He answered emails promptly and was very open to accommodations. He also used slides. He does lecture a little fast but he is very open to questions. It would be more of an assumption, but I think the majority of the class did well. I would def recommend him for this course.
