A pretty easy class overall. The weekly reading is optional (I never did it and everything was covered in lecture) and the only assignments are article analyses, finishing labs from class, and online quizzes every other week. Lecture occasionally feels a bit long but she gave us a 10 minute break half way through ands sometimes had interactive activities during lecture which helped keep us engaged. The one issue I had with the class was that all of the quizzed and mid-term were online but the final was in-person so it was kind of a bummer to have the most important test of the quarter be different than everything leading up to it. Melissa was super nice and helpful though!

Overall, this was a relatively easy class. There is some busy work and some group labs, but it's all relatively easy and the material is rather interesting to learn. Paquette-Smith is a good prof too, she kept lectures interesting and is overall a nice person. Would take again with this prof

Paquette-Smith cares about her students and clearly likes teaching. However, PSYCH 10 is a really long class that caused me to feel uninterested in the subject matter. The homework load was not that bad, with weekly quizzes or artificial analyses. The midterm was online, but the final was in-person which was annoying because every previous quiz/midterm was online and open-note. Regardless, the final was not that bad at all. Melissa was genuinely very nice and I do not want to bash her class, I just had trouble focusing in her lectures.

I really liked this professor and found her to be engaging and funny. She incorporated lots of interactive activities in the lectures which increased students engagement. I especially appreciated that about the professor considering that the lectures were almost 2 hours long (albeit there was a 10 minute break which helped a lot too!)

The workload for this class is extremely manageable. However, having said that, I don't think I would be able to do well on the closed book exams if I did not study at all. But if you were to study, these tests should be easy to score on!

Class was pretty easy, just a couple of weekly assignments and the quizzes and midterm were all online. Final is in person though so if you haven't been studying, you'll have to study a lot for it. I loved the professor so much, she was such a great person and good teacher. And her voice speed is perfect for you to be able to watch the lectures on 2x speed, tbh you don't have to go to lectures unless you have a lab. Take this class!!

THIS PROFESSOR IS A FUCKING BITCH. SHE MADE THE FINAL CUMULATIVE, IN PERSON AND CLOSED NOTE WHEN ALL THE REST OF OUR MIDTERM AND QUIZZED ARE ONLINE. SHE IS SIMPLY JUST A BITCH. DO NOT TAKE HER

Absolutely fantastic professor. Definitely recommended.

Super duper nice professor. Lectures are recorded, and exams are open note. Easy A if you finish taking notes and do your assignments on time.

Professor Paquette taught the material in an engaging manner, while also giving us an appropriate amount of work. The group labs were a bit of a hassle depending on if your group members do their part. Nonetheless, the professor makes long lectures manageable with short breaks. Loved the class, would take again.

Paquette-Smith is a great lecturer and psych 10 is a class that is very similar to what you would expect of a 300 person 2 hour lecture. The concepts are relatively interesting, but you can only go so deep as there is a lot to cover. It can be a little boring at times, but most of the time the lectures are very engaging and interesting. Your mileage may vary with this class, but as long as you do the work, you should be fine to get an A. Would definitely recommend Paquette-Smith if you have to take psych 10.
