Psych 111

<p>Could anyone whose taken this class please give me more info about it? How hard is it to get an A compared to Engineering classes? Does it require a lot of writing, or is it more memorization? And how is Prof. C. Grayson?</p>

<p>I'm hoping this will be my easy A class for the semester...</p>

<p>Thanks for the help!</p>

<p>I haven’t taken it, but I’ve basically heard this is the epitome of some stupid easy-A class.</p>

<p>I’m taking it next year but I hear it’s pretty easy. I’m not sure about Grayson but I’ve been told to avoid Malley. I have Schreier.</p>

<p>Ballpark… top 3 easiest classes I’ve ever taken. All memorization (at least in my class… different prof.). Use ratemyprofessors to look up profs.</p>

<p>It’s been so hard for me to get a working schedule, that I just gave up on looking for a good prof, I just took whatever fit. I’m really glad its an easy class though!</p>

<p>Are the material/tests covered in a class always the same, or can they be different depending on the prof?</p>

<p>Quick question: at orientation, do the students get to pick the specific professor as well?</p>

<p>Umm you just sign up for classes like anyone else would. Different times are taught by different professors, so just sign up for the section with the professor you want. This is easier said than done though, since I had to rework my schedule like 5 times to get my 18 credits to fit.</p>

<p>Is there a way to see which professors are teaching which classes for next year online or something before I go to orientation? I want to make sure I’m not getting some really tough professor.</p>

<p>Yep, use the LSA course guide or wolverine access to look at classes. Most classes have a professor next to the times they’re taught…I think if it just says “Staff” it’s taught by some GSI.</p>

<p>Thank you very much.</p>

<p>Last thing: the subsections within Psych 111 are all the same right aside from the professor?</p>

<p>I’m taking it in the summer right now and it’s super duper easy.
(Yet some people still have trouble with it.)</p>

<p>I hear that Schreier is the best and the easiest during the school year. I have Seifert right now, and she’s very easy and fun also.</p>

<p>Take it with Schreier. I hear Malley’s the worst.</p>

<p>Malley’s not that bad, except the in class quizzes mean you HAVE to attend lectures since you don’t know when they’ll pop up. Also, if you get Malley, avoid Ann Nguyen as your GSI. Hardest grader out of Malley’s discussion sections.</p>

<p>how can you pick your GSI?</p>

<p>The GSIs teach the sections. Sometimes Wolverine Access lists which GSI is teaching which section when you look up the class.</p>

<p>“I think if it just says “Staff” it’s taught by some GSI.”</p>

<p>Or it means they haven’t picked a professor yet. But for fall classes I imagine they’ve picked all the professors by now.</p>

<p>So I guess Grayson is new to teaching 111? Has anyone had him/her let?</p>

<p>Take it with schreieeerrrrrrrrrr!</p>

<p>I took it with Ann T. Phillips. She was a great instructor. Class was easy and it was interesting.</p>

<p>Time to bring back an old thread. Is Schreier still the best to take for this course? Fall 2011 there is a choice between Grayson, Schreier, Perlmutter and Burson.</p>

<p>Schreier’s section has a waitlist. Do people usually get off the waitlist? If you can’t get off the waitlist, should you take one of the other instructors or wait til spring semester?</p>

<p>Schreier’s class is in large lecture format with no discussion sections. Is this a problem? Grayson has two hours of lecture with two hours of GSI discussion.</p>

<p>I’m interested in your thoughts.</p>
