She is a great professor. You seriously will not regret taking Psych 1X03. Don't worry about iClicker Points, even if you get 2 each lecture, you have a chance at getting 8 the last lecture and also 5 for filling out a survey at the end of the semester. Pay attention though, many questions on the exam from lecture and textbook material.

She is a very kind professor and responds to emails very quickly if you have any questions. Amazing Lecturer. Plenty of opportunities to do well in these courses (ex. tophat bonus points). Though I will say 1xx3 is way harder than 1x03 and you will have to work harder in it. Plenty resources were provided when big assessments happened.

Dr. Cadieux lectures are always engaging and entertaining to say the least. 10/10 course, personally I think it's a bird course, only because I enjoy the course content. If you're a biology type of student, and like structured courses, this may be the course for you.

DON'T TAKE AS A BIRD! Although I got an A, it was quite content heavy and required many hours of my week. The midterm was exactly like class content (I got a 29/30) but the exam was a little difficult (I got a 49/60) + the version 4 answer copy was distributed to me and had to wait over an hour for another.

She is so funny! Had here for two lectures and I was so sad when she left. She is so engaging. Web modules have most of the content and you so have to do the textbook reading because they pull random information for the exams. Tutorials are well organized and easily marked. Overall amazing course and would highly recommend.

SHE'LL PROBABLY BE YOUR FAVORITE PROF. Amazing lectures, technically you do have to attend because they're not recorded and whatever is said in there is testable, but I really found myself to be excited to attend her lectures because they're super engaging and funny! You can tell she's not just there to read stuff out and leave. Loved her

Such a good professor that genuinely made me want to go to class. I have no interest in psychology but taking her class made me almost want to specialized in PNB. Take this course 100%. Watch the modules, go to lectures and spam practice quizzes and it'll be an easy 12.

Doctor Cadieux is a fantastic professor who cares deeply about her students. She tries her best to ensure that the weekly modules and lectures are both entertaining and educational. She is swift to respond to questions about the course posted on the McMaster subreddit, even if she isn't tagged in them.

I loved all of her lectures. It was the only lecture out of my five courses that I actually looked forward to attending! She is very fun, engaging, and she can actually TEACH. Her vibe is just always energetic and she cares about her students..! The psych department did their job well :)

I did not buy the textbook so I did not have Top Hat; it's not necessary at all, nor is the handbook. Everything you need is in the online modules, sans for maybe 1 or 2 questions that would come from lecture or textbook. Exams are mostly module-based. Modules are not that long, but writing notes may double the time. Participate in tutorials.
