<p>i'm number 162 on the waitlist. what are my chances of getting into this class. i'm not declared or anything</p>
<p>Pretty low i’d say. Especially if you are a non major, freshman/sophmore. </p>
<p>That said, the class is awesome.</p>
<p>knit: do you get to sleep? 
:D</p>
<p>KK: did you take it with walker? im enrolled in in for fall. whats the class structured like in terms of tests, papers, section etc? and what’s the format of tests?</p>
<p>@Batman: I wish. Just speaking of sleep made me want to sleep, but the class was interesting enough to stay awake.</p>
<p>@W4C: I took it with Harvey, who is teaching Clinical Psych in fall. Harvey is an awesome teacher. Harvey took a clinical approach and we leared about insomnia, PTSD and sleep, infants and sleep, various sleep disorders, other psychiatric disorders and their effects on sleep, etc… We had to do a reaction paper each week which consisted of writing your opinion on the lecture, or giving feedback, etc. We also had to do a sleep outreach project. Her tests were difficult because she asked specific questions and only had 20 questions on each exam. I also had a really…interesting GSI, who I had the misfortune of having again for psych 140. </p>
<p>I don’t know how much my experience will help since I had another professor, but the class was generally interesting. We had Walker come give a guest lecture and if his lecture was any indication of his class format then I’d say that Walker would probably focus more on the biological aspects of sleep. I heard from another GSI, who taught for Walker, that he would tell them to introduce whole new topics during section time as opposed to having the normal format of section (supplementing lecture with more detailed info or discussion). So it was like having three lectures a week. But this is just hearsay. If there is one thing that Walker might keep, its the sleep outreach project. </p>
<p>Finally psych of sleep taught me two things: 1. cramming the night before an exam/pulling an all nighter is counterproductive and probably the worst thing you can do in preparing for an exam and 2. it is important to fall asleep and wake up at the same time.</p>
<p>Good class.</p>
<p>im guessing you have dagys?? lol. and im glad walker focuses more on bio, but **** i have like 6 bio classes now next sem hahaha</p>
<p>im almost done with the 140 midterm! almost done with this class! is anyone going to take the final for this class do you think?</p>
<p>Yeah, Dagys can sometimes be a pain. If she weren’t so goddamned pretty, I would dislike her even more. </p>
<p>I’m having issues this time with the midterm. I did pretty well on the first one and I barely studied so I did the same thing. It feels like this time, some of the questions require you to have read some of the chapters and get an understanding of the material. Quetions 5-8 are particularly annoying. If I do good on this midterm, I don’t see any point on taking the final. Especially since its on a FRIDAY. **** that. I’m taking my Tuesday finals and thats it. Plus, since its cumulative, I highly doubt I would do well.</p>
<p>haha. yeah this mt does seem to be more book focused, but havent you been reading anyhow for the quizzes lol? and the avg was ridic for the last one and i have a feeling theyre going to grade even faster and more lenient for this one just because the gsi’s are probably sick of grading anyhow…</p>
<p>i just have 7/8 to write and cant decide which has more supporting evidence. i think the WAIS one has a lot of support against it in the book. was 8 covered in lec?</p>
<p>sorry to jump in your conversation but is 140 easy? You guys seem to be writing a lot…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Nope. I really don’t find the class interesting, much less the book. Plus I can usually figure the answer based on what she talks about and from the questions/answers. Though not reading the book is biting me in the ass.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>DEAR GOD I HOPE SO. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>If 7 is talked about in the book I would go with that one. I still have 3, 7/8, and I have to condense 5 (there is A LOT of info, I think). 3 is confusing because I am not sure if I am getting the four parts correctly and her ASL lecture didn’t really explain how ASL fit the language criteria. IDK.</p>
<p>

<p>We are taking it with Anderson. Instead of having the typical test format she has take home exams. We are given 5 pairs of essay questions, from which we have to choose 1 from each pair. Her questions are specific and have a lot of parts to them. Sometimes, its hard to condense it (each answer cant be longer than a page) because you have to answer each question and provide 3 examples. Other questions require you to know the material real well. It’s not that bad, just frustrating.</p>
