After the first lecture I had the impression it would be a fairly boring and impersonal class. It was, but I was soon impressed by her vast knowledge of the field of Psychology and science in general. You can ask her anything, whether it's relevant or not, and she'll have an informative and articualte answer. I really appreciated that. Maher= Rad.

Suprisingly hard. Based on the reviews I expected all I'd have to do was show up. I was sorely mistaken when I failed the first test. And then for the final I studied for hours and after I was done I could have sworn I aced it but I got an 82? I dont know, maybe I'm dumb. If I took psych again I'd avoid her.
