I suggested my daughter not take Psych 101 her first semester. At her midsized school, I knew it would be a big lecture class with a smaller discussion class, and just wouldn’t have the personalized attention some other courses would. She has taken two large history classes with the ‘2 lectures and 1 discussion’ format, and did pretty good in those, but still I thought psych should be put off. Also, another class she had in her major ended only 10 minutes before psych started, and it would have required a dash across campus (probably 1/2 mile) and she would have arrived late and panting to this large lecture every day. I just thought it was better to put it off. Now, I doubt she’ll take it at all since she’s changed majors and has a lot of core classes to take.
