MRS. PIERCE ROCKS! I wouldn't say this was an "easy A", I mean sure, it's easy if you do all the work and show up! I did get an A, but know she is VERY strict on attendance, and DO NOT be late! If you miss more than 3-4 days you WILL fail. However, the material is very interesting and this class is very engaging. She is helpful and great!

Final optional 20questions and only on 1 chapter that was nice. The Final is the easier than any of her tests. Easy B in the class.

This class is a breeze if you pay attention in class. You don't need to take extensive notes, but notes will help! She does a review the class before each test, and there is one online as well. Even if you do average on a test you can still get an A. There is one group project that is not hard as long as you follow the directions. Go to classes!

I ended with a 145% in this class so needless to say it was one of if not the easiest class I've ever taken. She gives good lectures and a below average amount of homework. The only downside is the easiness lowers the amount of learning. For these reasons overall i give her an 8/10. I think you'd have to try to get below an A in this class.

This course is very straightforward: read your textbook, take your quizzes, and participate in the discussion board. Each Module ends with an exam that reviews the material and the final assignment is a reflection of what you've learned. Easy A with a considerate Professor.

This was an amazing introduction to Psychology. The professor included cool videos from Youtube in each module (a lot of which I had already watched on my own time) that adds to the lesson.
