Comment:
I figured the reviews were exaggerated but her lecture slides really don't make sense. If you don't go to class, you won't be able to study off them because there isn't a lot of writing. I think her tests are obnoxiously specific about the wrong kinds of information. Understanding the general way things work won't get you through it.

I don't understand how a lot of people thought this class was easy. I struggled a lot and a few others I know did as well. Her PowerPoint slides are VERY unclear, so you have to go to class. Her tests are super nitpicky, requiring that you know precise details. They are also unpredictable and challenging, making it feel like a 300/400 level course.

Comment:
I didn't realize this course was super interesting until I had my third class. Then I started to ask questions and really felt engaged into it. It's so helpful to build up the psychology-wise critical thinking ability. Prof. Beck is so nice that she answered questions after every single class. And you don't need to buy a textbook at all!!!!!

She is a very nice professor. The content is very interesting and helpful. Students are required to give presentation on assigned reading.She will test you extremely detailed knowledge. The lecture is enjoyable and fun though. Pay attention to details.

Not an easy A, but worth the effort. Such a nice professor, she's never condescending and encourages questions and discussion. Maintains a really good learning environment and explains complex concepts in an easy to understand way. Great teacher, and a really interesting class.

Loved this class! So interesting. Never read assign readings! Print out power points!! Take them to class and take notes on what she says!! She explains everything flawlessly and what she says are questions on the test. I would recommend this class to anyone, just go to class (she explains charts) and it is an easy A+

Never read assigned readings. Lectures are on Compass so you don't have to go to class - although it will probably help you understand better. Overall, easy class.
