Dr. Norris is an amazing and caring professor. She uses music to incorporate topics into her class which I find very helpful due to some topics being difficult to understand. Her class is a great help at getting to discover things about yourself and others that happen due to psychological aspects. You learn a lot more than just basic psychology.
