Not too easy. Not too difficult.
Course Overview:
It was very well taught and very disciplined. I felt that Professor Jewett used his time wisely and explained the topics well.
Course highlights:
I learned the basics of Psychology. My favorite topic was the brain. We learned about all the lobes and what they did and where they were located. The class did not go into great detail but I loved knowing the anatomy of the brain since that was what were talking about all semester.
Hours per week:
3-5 hours
Advice for students:
Take good notes and ask questions if you are unsure
This class was tough.
Course Overview:
Professor Doug Matthews was absolutely phenomenal. He did a great job keeping everyone's attention in a class that can be challenging and difficult to follow. He always made time for questions at the end of class, and had an open door policy for his office hours. He made a lot of jokes and kept everybody in a good mood, which really helped me to want to be in that class.
Course highlights:
The highlight of my experience with Doug would be the very first time I met him in person. A month before school started, he invited all of his PSYC 100 students to come up for the last weekend before school started to go tubing down the Chippewa River. I have never seen anything like 500+ students floating down a river all at once. The most important thing I learned from him was that doing the reading is crucial to you passing any of his classes (and most of your other classes).
Hours per week:
9-11 hours
Advice for students:
Look at the slides ahead of time. Either print them off, or write them down beforehand. He goes fast, and you'll have to keep up with what he's saying (it can be pretty difficult). Make sure to leave enough space between slide notes to write down what he is saying (I suggest writing it in a different color than the rest of your notes).
Not too easy. Not too difficult.

Hours per week:
