He's not a prof. He's currently a graduate student teaching psych. He's young and he is smokey HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT. We need more young, hot instructors at Berkeley!

so i totally agree with the first post.. the man is attractive. the class was pretty good too. he was really clear and thorough, you get a lot out of the class. and ... rawr.

The lectures are very clear and interesting! He presents video clips and use hilarious examples to get his points across. [i.e. the little green men-- you'll get it if you take his class] He posts his lectures up and the exams are clear and easy. BONUS: sooo hot, you'll melt!!! ;-] I wish I was still in his class.

fun, easy, interesting, i actually looked forward to lectures

Helped out a lot and was very considerate. This was a tough class to GSI for.

Great teacher. One of the best that I've had in Berkeley.

He is the GSI for this honors thesis class. Its a bit disorganized, but he does his job really well. Great help with projects.

Loved, loved, loved him!

This is a great class if you're a non-psych major looking to fulfill one of your recs. He's only a grad student and unfortunately, I think he's done teaching this class at Berkeley, but maybe he'll come back or the new teachers will be comparable. Sad.

One of the most interesting, useful, and easy class I have taken at Berkeley. Class demonstrations are fun memorable. The text book is REALLY fun to read. Highly recommended.

I was super excited for the class, loved the textbook, saw the positive reviews for Gade, but I have to say I am now pursuing other majors. A lot of the class is structured around the big names in Psychology, easy as hell essays and exams. He's not a bad teacher by any means, but I've lost any interest I had in psychology as a major.

I was excited for this class because psychology sounded really interesting. But lectures were sooooo boring. He's a very slow speaker. I actually found the book more interesting! That said, he's very clear and it's a pretty easy course.

I'm taking his class this semester and I'd say the course is very interesting and his teaching style is very soothing. He simplifies concepts and the projection of his voice is well suited for multi-cultural students; not to mention he is also pleasant to look at.

very good prof, he is a nice person, he explains things clearly and gives you extra credit when it is needed. i enjoyed the stas class very much with him, and he is hot!

IMO, Psych is probably one of the best classes where anecdotes/class demos/videos really help. And guess what - he likes to use them. a LOT. So yeah, good teaching style for the class. Class itself is pretty easy, to boot. You don't have to read the textbook but it's actually pretty fun.

The class covered a lot of interesting material and his lectures were very clear. I didn't make much use of the text book, but even though I got a pretty good grade I would recommend at least skimming. Papers were extremely easy, exams a bit harder. He offers extra credit occasionally.

Great Professor - lectures were clear and concise,with detailed slides. Exams primarily on the slides, so many got by without reading the textbook. Sandy Lwi is a wonderful GSI.

He is one of the best teachers I have ever had. He is very clear, and never once boring or difficult to listen to during lecture. (Not hard on the eyes either!)

No doubt one of the best professors I ever had. His lectures are clear and to the point. He offers a lot extra credit assignments. Funny and gives great memorable examples. Exams are easy as long as you study class notes and read the textbook. Highly recommend him!

Take 101 with Gade! He's a great professor - he makes the dry material at least somewhat engaging for students by using relatable examples, his lectures are very clear and well-organized, and he's young and has energy so class isn't boring. Homework assignments are GREAT practice for exams and can replace a bad score. The exams are fair.

Such a good professor. He is definitely interested in the subject matter and transfers that in his lectures. Psych 1 is a must-take, regardless of major.

Gade is fairly entertaining while going through the course slides. He tries to make it interesting since the class is at 8am. :( He explains concepts well and takes questions from students. He presents concepts and expectations clearly. Do not sleep in his class as one of my classmates found out. That makes him very upset and he will call you out.

Prof is very engaging in all of his classes. His assignments aren't too hard but he does expect good work from everyone. Will call you out if you fall asleep. Must go to class everyday to do well. Ask lots of questions and he will gladly answer.

Gade was a wonderful professor and I learned a lot from his class. He is extremely helpful and this class really spurred my interest in psychology. Also the final paper was really fun.

I took pysch 1 with Gade and I absolutely loved it. He is interactive, engaging and fun. He tends to talk fast and I recommend to attend every class as you will miss out A LOT if you don't go to even just one class. A lot of the material is from the textbook but he also plays a lot of videos that do appear in the tests. In short, I LOVED IT.

I loved his lectures! He is very charismatic and gives clear explanations. Went to his office hours and he was helpful. The tests are pretty straightforward as are the papers. Definitely recommend this class even if you are not a psych major and plus he isnt bad looking ;)

He is a fantastic lecturer! He inspired me to major in Psychology. His lectures are clear, enjoyable, and interactive. The exams are simple and papers are easy to write. Don't depend much on the book. Just go to lectures, and you'll get an A for sure. Everything is in the slides! Such a fun class! Wish I could take it again!

Professor Gade is one of my favourite at Cal, he does a fantastic job at making it understandable! Must attend lecture, slides are online. Some students complain class is too tough, but I would say those are the students who don't attend every lecture/section. Super friendly in office hours, email responses are helpful! I'd highly recommend Gade!!

Gade teaches an intro to psych class so it's pretty easy. It's not the most exciting class because it is just introductory but he does a great job explaining everything and telling you about potential other classes and even careers you should consider depending on what you find interesting.

Gade is terrific! He's super interesting in class and he is very fair.

Gade is an awesome instructor. I took his Psych 101 last fall. Stat. is not easy but he explains everything clearly. You need to go to the lectures because the examples he gave during the lectures really helped us understanding the materials. Test are straightforward. Final project is fun. I wish we can learn more R or SPSS stuff during section tho

Professor Gade is just phenomenal. He uses real life examples to make complicated problem fun and easy. He is super helpful in lecture and outside of lecture. I would definitely recommend taking his class.

He is really great! Although sometimes the concept is complicated, he can always find a easy way for us to understand. I learned a lot of useful things in this class. One of the best classes I've ever taken.

Great Professor!

Overall fun class, cute professor, and great lectures. 4 exams with the lowest score dropped, and 3 papers.

Excellent professor. He teaches well. Lots of interactions with the class. Exams and papers are straightforward. Forgot to mention he's easy on eyes and looks like Chris Pratt!!

Gade is a really great lecturer-- but I would say that the class seems easier than it actually is. Do the readings! Don't procrastinate!

The course was graded with three midterms and an optional final, in case you missed one of the midterms or you wanted to improve your grade. There aren't assignments for classes, but you will have to work on a review of three different psychology articles during the whole course.

he is the definition of engaging and interesting lectures. he has so many good class exercises that make sure you dont fall asleep, so its really easy to find yourself really into the lecture and time flies. easy-ish midterms. optional final. lots of extra credit points

Gade was a, super hot, especially when he would get really excited about Psych and stuff. Anyway, his lectures were awesome. He was really easy to listen to and made jokes sometimes. He really enjoys Psych. I think there was a little bit of work with the GSI and then a final. The final is all about the slides and in lecture examples so go to class!

Professor Gade is funny and cute in class, clarifying psychology concepts through interactive examples, videos, and demonstrations. He clearly cares about teaching and his students, but his tests are strangely formatted. He tests mainly on specific details rather than larger concepts.

Psych 1 is very easy especially if you've taken AP Psych in high school. Gade makes lectures fun and interesting, definitely a class you want to go to. Tests are straightforward if you study the lecture slides, and papers are not tough if you follow the rubric. Overall a very easy, interesting class! Put in the effort and it's an easy A.

Professor Gade is an excellent orator who presents the material in an extremely comprehensible fashion. Reading the textbook before attending lecture is also very helpful. Overall, I would definitely consider taking another class with him.

Professor Gade is an excellent professor of psychology and his passion is clearly evident in his lectures and sidebar comments which help to get all this material into our long term memory storage. Lectures more important than the text to doing well on the tests, he likes details so pay attention to what's NOT on the deck but in his words.

Meh. Gade had some mood swings. His lectures were relatively clear and well outlined. Powerpoints are posted in the beginning of the course. Very little work in R and one group final paper. One of four tests dropped which saved me and had an excellent GSI. He came off as annoyed sometimes and would make snarky comments; other than that recommended.

Gade is a great instructor and definitely knows what he's talking about. He does a good job making class instructional but also engaging. Sometimes pacing seemed unnecessarily fast, but this class is so ridiculously easy. Just go to class, take good notes (take notes on ppt slides the day before!) do your homework and you'll be set. Fun & simple.

I'm terrible at Math and Professor Gade made Statistical data and analysis really interesting. 4 exams, one is dropped. very limited R data work. He really wants you to get it and will go slowly and warns you when things are about to pick up. I loved that he related what you were learning to future classes. Tedious research project but great class

The class is a lot of memorization, but if you put in the work, you can pass with an A. The essays were fine if you followed the rubric and I could've gotten an A if I had followed the rubric on the first essay. Overall, good lecturer and has students participate in psych "games" or experiments for first hand application of material.

Made psych lectures surprisingly interesting. I typically get bored/distracted during lectures but he kept my attention for the majority of most lectures. Psych1 itself is an incredibly easiest class -- the easiest I've taken at Berkeley -- and is completely memorization-based. But don't underestimate the papers!

Gade is great! His grading style is one of the best things ever in that your lowest exam grade (midterm or final, they're weighted equally) is dropped - so before the final, if you're satisfied with your grade, you don't even have to take the final. His lectures are also interesting and the content is not hard.

Gade is a very eloquent professor. He definitely knows his material very well and presents it to the class in a rather informal (sometimes monotonous) but inviting way. Papers (3 of them) are worth a huge chunk of your grade and the final is optional (only 3 of 4 tests count and they're all weighted equally). Text is unnecessary to get an A.

He's a good professor with one of the best grading formats. He drops your lowest test score (3 midterms + 1 final-all weighted equally), so you might not have to take the final! His class is pretty heavily based on essays. My GSI graded hard, or else I would have gotten a better grade. Discussion sections are basically another lecture.

Gade is a great professor. Focus on the research paper, pay attention in lecture, study & you will do well. He has clear expectations. Office hours are helpful if you'd like clarification on a subject. (a few people have mentioned he can be a bit condescending, so study & avoid stupid questions) Btw- watching the Course Captures to study helps!

Gade's lectures are clear and thorough. He really makes an effort to make sure the material is presented in a way that makes sense. Textbook is not required, but helps a lot. Tests are not difficult but are detail-oriented. While attendance is not mandatory, sometimes important videos are shown in class that come up on exams. He's a fair grader.

Long lecture videos, lots and lots of reading. Random test questions. He's really good at responding to emails and questions. I learned a lot, he a good teacher you just have to be very detailed in your writing. He is also a tough grader. You have to be very specific on exactly what he is looking for. You definitely need the textbook.

Awesome professor! Very clear and interesting lectures. Loved his teaching style. Always welcomed questions, even though we were in such a large lecture hall. Had us do some fun interactive activities with the people around us to help us with the material. Take his intro psych class!!

Professor Gade is an efficient, no-nonsense instructor. He drops the lowest of your 4 exams and made us do two papers. The exams are multiple choice so they come back quickly. He performs these really fun activities in class that makes us understand the class better. He can be a little condescending so know what you're talking about.

This class is a breadth that's actually an easy A, as long as you go to lecture and section and pay attention. Gade is an interesting lecturer, and gives memorable examples that make all the material easily absorbable and entertaining. Nicest, most thoughtful professor I've had so far. His GSIs are super nice too.

Course was content heavy and very general, but Gade made the lectures interesting and engaging. He has a sexy voice too so thats a plus. Hate that its graded by only three tests and three papers, but the final can replace lowest test score. Theres a lot of content, but just memorize & learn lecture slides for exams and youll be fine.

Mostly a good prof, and I got an A from him with little effort. It's important to know that Dr. Gade is kind of unforgiving when it comes to little things like mistyping the APA formatting on the paper, so keep a note of that and you'll do fine. The test questions are extremely easy, and he drops your lowest test score as a cherry on top.

A lot of people give him a hard time for being harsh on students but I found him to be fair, clear and engaging. Not much to say about a Stats class but he's a solid professor, just not my favorite topics :)

Great professor! He's nice, humorous and lively. I don't understand why the ratings are so low. The PSYCH 1 class I'm in now is more than reasonable. It's not just a fair class but a class in which you learn life-worthy information. You have to work for every class if you want that A, but unlike some classes in which you simply cannot get that A...

I took Cognitive Psychology with him online. I have no experience what he's like in-person, but I know that he's very good at giving clear feedback and provides a ton of resources. (Take advantage of them!) Even if you struggle, the assignments allow you to recover. This course was challenging but very informative and rewarding. Great instructor!

Psychology of Personality had a lot of diverse material. There were 2 major papers at the beginning of the course. Later on, your performance relies heavily on the theory quizzes and discussions. Be careful with that--if you make a mistake on those or leave out material, you take a big hit in the second half of the course. Read the book! It helps.

Gade's class is quite easy and given that the content is interesting, he does not have to work too hard to keep students engaged. Given that, however, he can get angry if people are not listening to him which can be annoying. If you study for the midterms (which are multiple-choice) and closely follow the essay prompts, you'll get an easy A.

His class is super easy. Exams are super straightforward and only solely based on lectures. You also never touch the textbook so don't buy it. Make sure to conceptually understand each topic going into the exam cause he might throw in some critical thinking questions. Besides that, really easy and interesting class.

His online class was extensive! In 1.5 months, youre required to do 12 modules (Aka 12 essays for the assignments) and 3 exams. Hes a tough essay grader but if you include as much information with supporting examples, you should be fine. I work full time so I didnt have time to read the book. Just transcribed the lecture and it worked out fine.

Great class overall. Very easy to understand and follow.

I just saw my final grade in the class. I don't want to offend others, but this seemed like an extremely easy class to me. There was minimal work with exams dropped and tons of extra credit and easy busy work to boost my grade.

Professor Gades lectures are very informative, engaging and interesting. Midterms and finals are strongly related to lectures so make sure to take good notes. The only part of this class that I personally struggled is writing 4 papers in one semester, since my first language isnt English. Would recommend!

Lots of papers. Follow rubric and take notes on what your GSI suggests when they talk about formatting and you will ace each paper. Tests are lecture-based. Extra credit gives you a percent boost. Finished with a 101% in this class because of how clear the instruction is, even if it is a lot of work. U can hear his kids in background of lec LOL

I had a rough semester at Cal. His class was one of the few bright spots. I loved my GSI too. Watching the lectures on my own schedule really helped me get through a lot of things. It's tough to tell how much he cares about students in an online class, but he seemed nice the two times I emailed him and met in office hours.

I took the online W1 version of general psychology. It was TOUGH to earn an A, but fairly easy to pass! The videos were dense and tests covered a lot, but apparently class is something that uses old presentations from another professor. Gade helped a lot by updates and reminders. He also made the final optional since we were all stressed!

Lots of papers and busy work with the book assignments, but this was a very easy class compared to my others last semester! Section and class lectures were clear, but the class did cover more than I expected.

Weekly attendance, weekly online activities, 3 papers, and 4 exams for an intro class is a bit much! I never saw him since the class was online. But, with all that said, the lectures are very clear, the exams fairly easy, and the assignments and attendance have helped keep my grade very high. Expecting a high A by the end!

Just finished the class. One of my favorites this semester. The material was very clear and I really liked my GSI. I'm very excited about pursuing a major now.

I really didnt like the mindtap activities but the class was easy enough and my gsi helped a lot. I just wish I could have taken the class in person.

Online lectures are always recorded, voice isn't monotonous so lectures aren't super boring. Tests are lecture based, so please take lots of notes and re-watch the recordings if you missed information. Textbook is only needed for online Mindtap activities; not needed for midterms though, it's mainly there for clarification. GSI's are also helpful!

I thoroughly enjoyed this class. Exams were fairly easy as long as you pay attention in lecture (that's where all the test questions come from, readings are there to supplement but are not that important), and I got an A on the final with barely any studying. He drops your lowest exam grade, and the papers have clear rubrics and are easily graded.

For two mandatory, highly weighted papers: u're not given an example essay so you'll feel underprepared to write it. But, if u follow the instructions and writewhat's in the rubric, u'll get v high marks. Exams: If u write bullet-pointed semi-detailed notes from each lecture, you can just refer back for the exam. not v hard, just quite specific.

Great professor but his class is a bit rigorous. There are three midterms I believe and two papers, plus a bunch of online homework that you have to buy through Cengage so it's a bit annoying but he is very smart and knows what he's talking about. As long as you pay attention to the lectures and do all the homework, you're solid.

Gade was a great professor, especially for an intro class like Psych 1. He did well at explaining all lecture topics and answered questions in a helpful way. He was understanding of hardships during the pandemic and did a good job working around the troubles of online learning. Would definitely recommend.

I don’t understand many of these negative reviews. Was this for a different class? His lectures are clear, everyone I know is doing very well in the class, and he seems very approachable. Also, what weekly papers? People complaining about having to dedicate 5 hours a week to this class need to reassess.

4 exams, lowest one dropped, 3 assignments that are challenging but doable, and he seems to genuinely care about students. This class wasn't super easy, but I learned a lot.

I really enjoyed this class. Professor gade is a great professor and he explains things thoroughly. Attendance is not mandatory but exams are all based on lectures so if you want to do good you need to attend lecture. Overall, great class!

The course is very organized. All of the lecture slides, modules, and papers are posted ahead of time. You need to study for the 4 exams (50 multiple choices) but if you've taken AP psych it shouldn't be hard. The 3 paper's instructions are all very clear, but your grade depends on your gsi. My favorite class of the semester.

I'm nearing the end of the semester and I decided to look up the ratings for Dr Gade. I'm shocked by many of the comments. Maybe this is for another class. Attending lectures this semester has felt like I'm attending a movie. The information is clear and I really am learning a lot. I'm not sure what grade I'll get, but I'm very happy.

I don't know why Gade's ratings are so low, he's great. Lectures and slides are very clear/organized, and he's also quick in responding to emails. There are 3 midterms + a final (but he drops your lowest exam grade), as well as extra credit. Essays are a lot of work, but the criteria is clear, and most GSIs grade pretty leniently and fairly.

as a freshman, this class made transitioning to college less stressful :') topics are so interesting that it makes it very easy to digest the information. readings are optional and there's no hw. only prepare for 3 exams (review lectures & disc) and 3 essays! GSI's also cover intriguing topics. 5 star yummy class. negative reviews took an L ngl

I'm so confused by many of these posts. Going into the class, I assumed this would be a nightmare. Now I'm planning to major in psychology. Thanks Prof Gade!

Class was made up of 4 exams (you get to drop one) and 3 papers, plus optional extra credit. His lectures are a bit hard to follow sometimes, but they were recorded so don't worry about that. If you put in the work to memorize for the exams, you will do fine in the class. He tests on lecture/discussion content only (breadth not depth of content).

The weekly discussions have nothing to do with the lectures but the majority of the grade comes from the 3 midterms and the final which are heavily based on the lectures. Use the exam info prep, they were super helpful!

Class is based on lectures and discussions. As long as you're paying attention and taking notes, you'll do great. Tests are pretty simple since they're based on what is discussed in the lecture and discussions. Really great at explaining the concepts and wasn't hard to understand. Great class and great professor!

The class was super easy and straightforward. The grading rubric and GSI's make writing papers easy. All tests are multiple-choice and memorization based. Recorded lectures helped when I was too lazy to get out of bed!

I think he made the class fun IMHO. I missed a few classes b/c of PIs and caught up fine because they're posted after. Get a good GSI though, they help a lot with the papers!

Lectures recorded. Tries his best to make lectures interactive to better understand concepts. Lectures not super content heavy. All exams multiple choice. grade based on your exam and RPP extra credit.

Really memorization based exams, make sure you memorize lecture slides before exams and you should be fine. Also I kept losing small points on my papers so check in with your GSI before submitting to avoid little errors. Overall I enjoyed Gade's class and he provides extra credit, just memorize memorize memorize!

A great lecturer with fantastic knowledge about psychology. Exams are straightforward memorization.

Great lectures, easy exams and papers, just go to class and do the work. Also, try to get a good GSI, they really matter in this class.

Focus on the lectures! Tests are easy if you study the slides and attend class.

He really knows what he's talking about and posts lecture slides that are very informative. Towards the end of the semester, we started watching more video clips so don't worry, it's a very chill class.

TAKE THIS CLASS!!!! three midterms and one final, three papers. you can get 100% on papers if you follow rubric and tests are all participation. RPP gives you 5 pt extra credit. One exam dropped and final is optional. Gade is an AMAZING lecturer and the content is very interesting. You also don't need to go to lecture to do well.

Prof Gade is an okay professor, he was nice but sometimes kinda snobby LOL. The class was easy, I might be biased since I took AP Psych in highschool and passed, but this was way easier than AP Psych and didn't even cover as many topics, which was surprising, especially for an intro course. Just memorize the lectures really well for exams.

I loved Dr.Gade!! He's such a wonderful professor and I truly learned a lot from him. Textbook not required but very helpful! Go to class!!!!

Such a great professor! Very knowledgeable about the subject and gives students clear explanations of important concepts. Exams completely lecture based. Textbook helps but not required. Easy and manageable essays. No other homework. Drops lowest exam grade. Very kind. Overall great class and professor!

Professor Gade is very knowledgeable in the subject. Although his lectures are a bit slow, they are easy to follow and the tests come straight from the lectures. There are 3 required papers for the class, and they all have a clear grading criteria. Overall, very eays class.

Professor Gade was very knowledgeable in the subject. Although his lectures were a bit slow, they were easy to follow in general. The tests come straight from the lectures and the 3 papers have a very clear grading criteria. The lowest test score gets dropped, which is also really nice. Overall, very easy class.

I really liked his way of teaching. The lectures are not filled with tons of information, and he makes his lectures really easy to follow by, in a way, telling more of a story. Together with the many examples he provided, the material was super easy to memorize and I really the topics we discussed.

Since I took the online version of this class, all the lectures were recorded. The lectures had been made by a different retired Prof (Dr. Kihlstrom), but Kihlstrom did a great job! I never actually heard much from Dr. Gade, but that didn't make a huge difference. All exams were open notes and could be taken at any time during the assigned day.

The GSI's and the professor are all very clear on the content and if you ever have questions, don't be afraid to ask. Classes are engaging and definitely where most of the test answers are going to be. DONT rely on the uploading of the recordings if you are taking the class in person. You WILL fall behind. ATTEND the discussions!

Easy class if you have any prior exposure to high school psychology. Tests are mostly covered in class materials but expect 1 or 2 questions written from REALLY REALLY cornered content on the slide. Generally very generous course: has RPP bonus. The three essays are easy to get top grades depending on your GSI. Not a stressful course.

I took him through an online general Psych course on the Berkeley Extension. He generally had recorded lectures (2-3 hours per week) with 1-2 assignments per week. Two tests, first one was open note but very short time (so you cant google the answers) and the final was essay responses. Overall his videos were high quality and his feedback good.

I took his General Psych class through the online Extension program. Recorded lectures are 2-3 hours per week, 1-2 assignments per week, and two tests for the term. First one is open note, but it would be very hard to google the answers. Final was in essay form. He was very quick at responding and his lectures were clear and interesting.

only homework for this class was 3 papers, which were easy to score high if you follow all the checkboxes. lectures were easy to follow (they're also recorded). he sometimes skips over information so look over slides before tests. plus rpp extra credit and he drops lowest test grade.

He was super cool and his lectures were super engaging. This class was easier than high school (non AP) psychology, but some midterm questions were very very specific to the slides. I found that making a cheatsheet (even though you can't use it on the test) helped me study. You can only lose a few points overall to get an A so watch out!

Don't skip lecture and if you really want an A make sure you review the lecture slides before class so you aren't going in blind. Take notes on the lectures and connect them to the lecture slides in order to review for the midterms, then you're guaranteed an A. For the papers, don't be extra, just follow the rubric.

Cool dude. Engaging lectures. Fair exams. Would recommend the class.

XBW1, good introductory course, fair class. Do the readings before lecture and do the weekly assignments. 2 exams, 1 midterm 60 min 60 multi choice , 1 Final 90 min 12 short answer. Open note doesn't mean don't prepare. Dr. Gade is fair with grading, gives feedback quickly and responds quickly. Study, do the work and you'll be fine.

Papers are super straightforward and easy to knock out quickly. Lectures were engaging, and he doesn't just read off the slides. Slides are great if you can't attend class, but he shows videos that you'll probably get tested on. 3 midterms (only 50 MCQ each) were chill—some memorization of names/experiments. 5 points RPP bonus helps a lot!

easy to get full scores on essays, just follow the rubric. mcq is easier than ap sciences & social sciences, except no curves. 5 extra credit bonus points increases your grade by a little less than 2%. interesting topics. engaging lecturer. don't skip all the lectures and cram study like me

Very traditional but engaging lecturer. Lectures aren't recorded though so make sure to attend every single one, since some of the material on the exams weren't on the slides. Other than that the exams and papers are pretty straightforward and easy to score high on.

Professor Gade was awesome. He made concepts very easy to understand and had engaging lectures. Essays and tests are easy if you follow the rubric/study— a lot of succeeding in this class has to do with knowing what is expected. Come to lecture though, because it isn't recorded and concepts will be on the test!

This was a great intro psych course. Gade was an engaging lecturer and I learned a lot. Just memorize everything on the slides and you are guaranteed an A.

Requires you to understand what your specific GSI wants to read in terms of grading papers (go to their office hours). Exams were fair enough and almost copy and paste of the slides and there are many opportunities to improve your grade. Very interesting material.

Interesting class and course material. Gade's an engaging lecturer, just note that class is very exam-based

Psych 1 online. super good class easy to follow would recommend for an intro psych class.

very easy class, but also content is very structured/organized and well-paced. grading policy is clear and fair. content itself is interesting, and you learn as much as you want to learn, considering it is an online course. good resources, including lecture videos and flashcards.
