Spring 2021 - I really enjoyed taking this class. If you have the option to take Psych 120A with Professor Clewett you totally should! Although the tests were somewhat hard, if you put in the work you should be able to get a B or A on them. Lectures are podcasted (as of this quarter) and you have a weekly quiz most weeks as well as a small assignment and discussion section with a completion attendance question. 2 Exams. Textbook not really necessary. Would take another one of his classes in the future!

Fall 2016 - This professor is the best! He is so great at explaining the material and really testing students on what they learned. The lectures were podcasted which is great and if you go over the notes and slides and take great notes, then the exams should be pretty easy! I received an A in the class by following this method. I am selling all my notes and study guides if anyone is interested. My email is maryblue289@gmail.com

The material isn't all that interesting but I definitely recommend this professor for 120A! This class was co-taught by Prof Liu (first half) and Prof Holyoak (second half). Prof Liu did his best to explain the complicated information but his accent was terrible so it was hard to follow. I preferred the second half with Prof Holyoak. Unlike many psych tests, Prof Holyoak's were straightforward. Do the reading and study his lecture notes. He explains the material very well so attend lecture.
