Comment:
The tests are heavily weighted in the course. Even if you understand alllll of material, the tests will still have you questioning your ability to learn. The way the questions are asked are complex and not always applicable to what was taught in class. This class makes me want to drop out. The topic is interesting and she is nice, but the tests...

Avoid! I would seriously caution taking this course online and look for other options. Intraub is unable to effectively communicate course material in a meaningful way and is unrelatable to students in online environment. She overcomplicates every aspect to the point of total and utter confusion and uses outdated experiments to make her points.

Loved everything about Intraub and her class. I took Cognition with her, it was hands down my favorite course I took at Delaware. Her lectures were interesting and she is more than willing to take the time to explain the material. She was always willing to meet for extra help especially with online learning. Truly the kindest soul. She really cares

Shes a real sweet lady and really care about her students but sometimes is a little confusing. Read the textbook because half of the multiple choice questions tend to come from the book. She'll give you the essay question topics ahead of time and there's no final. There are tests and exams (they're 2 different things, it'll be fine don't worry).

She's so sweet and clearly cares about her students a lot but her lectures and instructions aren't always that clear. The tests can be very confusing and the textbook doesn't line up with anything you learn in class.

Attendance is not required but go anyway since it makes the quizzes easier even if half are dropped. Study all the essay topics because she is random in favoring one topic over another. Lectures are dry but she cares and wants to help

You'll learn about various aspects of cognition through case studies and experiments, making the learning experience more dynamic and engaging than some other psych courses. Before taking PSYC314/NSCI320 (required for psych majors), I highly recommend Dr. Intraub's class as it provides a context and foundation for learning about the brain.

This is class is super easy. Having said that, I found it to be incredibly boring. Dr. Intraub lectures as if she is speaking to a room full of middle schoolers. If you want an intellectual experience, I wouldn't take her. If you want to be absolutely certain you know the difference between an independent and a dependent variable, go for it.

She is a really interesting and fun teacher! Her class would not make you want to sleep or space out, she would make the her lecture really easy to understand and also would make you think about psychology and cognition. Not just boring lecture and you would forget about it. Take her class!

One of the best classes and teachers ever. Such an easy A as long as you show up to class. I literally never studied, and just made sure I paid attention. She really makes the class interesting too. I'm a neuro major and to be honest the people that say she's not a good prof. must be stupid because this class is great, and easy.

Dr. Intraub is one of the best professors I have ever had. An expert and an amazing teacher. Truly cares about the students and the material. Makes it all very relatable and interesting. The material itself is challenging and her exams/clicker quizzes are tough, but as long as you read, take notes, try, and pay attention, you can do well overall.

Professor Intraub is one of the best professors I've had at UD. She's extremely nice and truly wants everyone to succeed. It's completely possible to get an A but you have to at least skim the readings she assigns and find the studies the book talks about. They'll be on the tests. She isn't kidding when she says to do the essay clinic, it helps.

Dr. Intraub is the nicest professor! She is so incredibly passionate about the class, and it shows during lectures. Three exams and 8 or more clicker quizzes, and an optional final. This class is really interesting, and lectures were easy to sit through. Not an easy A, but an A isn't out of the question either. Go to class and read the book!

Comment:
While Intraub is friendly, she has her drawbacks. She talks in circles during lecture, making it hard to follow. The essay exams are brutal, even if you study for hours it's impossible to predict what will be on the exam. She contructs the multiple choice questions to trick you, not to test your knowledge. Seriously stay away if you're a Psych BA.

As long as you go to class, actually pay attention, and go to office hours whenever you need something clarified you'll be fine. she is the most approachable and nicest professor I have ever had at UD. Read the textbook before class so you know whats going on and to prepare for any clicker quizzes. also 3 exams and optional final (to help ur grade)

She is a wonderful woman. But the textbook is written for a 5th grader. I had a hard time paying attention to anything in the chapters. The lectures are also extremely tiring. You barely cover any material, yet she is talking the entire time. I dont even understand how it is even possible.

She is FANTASTIC, and cares about her students so much. She is always more than willing to help, is very flexible, and very reasonable. She was my absolutely favorite professor at UD hands down. As long as you go to class, do the work, and ask questions you'll be more than fine.

Intraub was an excellent teacher. Lectures were interesting, the textbook was clear and easy to read. She gave lots of clicker quizzes but they were always announced. They were a grade booster. She has lots of office hours and does lots of review before tests.

Comment:
Intraub is very helpful & genuinely cares about her student's grades. But this course is very demanding. Her exams are not easy. She is a passive aggressive when it comes to the exams and can be overly specific in what she requires. Make sure to know every detail about all experiments covered. She is a fanatic about testing on results and findings
