The class isn't so bad, you just need to make sure you understand and listen to the lectures. I would listen to all the lectures on podcast and pause and go and he went through it. It's a lot of material, not necessarily hard though. I never read the book, but really knew my lectures well and did well in the class. The entire class is based on your midterm and final. Just study hard and you should be fine. I have all my notebook with all the lectures notes and my study guides. They should be efficient to do well in the class.

Records lecture! The only assignements were 200 word reflections per week. No final, only a 4 page double spaced term paper. Overall 5/5!

This class was really enjoyable, as someone that is interested in evolutionary biology. I took it for upper div credit, but the topic was really fun to learn about and I learned things outside of what I had learned in the LS7 series and other science classes. Each week is one or a few chapters in the professors book, which he shares to the students for free. The three quizzes got harder each time for me, but they aren't worth too much to worry about. The final writing was fairly easy since you can pick whatever topic as long as it's related to the class. I would definitely recommend this class if you like evolution, psychology, or behavior!

Professor Barrett is a very knowledgeable instructor and he has a lot of interesting ideas. However, the way that he poses most of this information is extremely hard to follow as he tends to go on tangents about the information, oftentimes giving us too much information or going too broadly. He also appears to have changed his grading schemes and I'm not sure if it was for the better. His new style is to have 3, 20-question quizzes that equal 30% of your grade. These were quite difficult to get a good grade on due to his choice of wording. There was little mercy in the grading of these quizzes either and he rarely elaborated afterwards about why the answer was right or wrong.

Dr. Barrett provides a lot of great insights to the field of evolutionary psychology, integrating concepts from evolutionary developmental biology and anthropology to create a truly interdisciplinary course. The grading is fair and the exams are doable. However, he does tend to ramble a lot, and sometimes the readings felt redundant because he would end up covering the material in class. You should be fine if you have a good background in evolutionary biology, tbh.

Awesome professor and class. He wrote the textbook and most ideas are his own, so pay attention in lecture and take thorough notes and you should be fine. I never really read the textbook, just skimmed when necessary. He provides the textbook and study guides for quizzes (which are extremely lengthy but overall helpful). There are short, weekly reflections, 3 quizzes (taken on canvas outside of class), and a 4 page final paper on a topic of your choosing that relates to the class. The material got tricky at times but I definitely recommend Professor Barrett!
