Physiological and Comparative Psychology

I think the thing that made this class so much fun was the professor. She really made the class interesting. She presented the material in a way that was fun and easy to understand. I have to say, I always did like to learn about neurons and how the brain works.

I found it the best subject to learn so far. Our class comes alive every lecture time.

Human Sexuality

I am taking this class right now and I love it! The way our professor has it set up is we have covered some of the biological aspects at the same time as psychological. It is surprising how necessary this was but it works with the class and it is very interesting. Considering the nature of the class it does take a certain level of maturity to take but if you have the chance to take a similar one you should!

Absolutly psychometrics

Psychometrics and ststistics are my favorite ones. They introduced me to the world of "scientific psychology", and how it wotks! Though it keeps saying that there're no perfect psychological tests (due to validity), it makes me to challenge!

History of Psychology

Most folks probably find history classes really boring, but I really did enjoy my history of psychology class. It helped that our teacher took a really fun approach to the subject. Instead of just talking about important dates and schools of thought, we tended to focus on the actually people that played a role in psychology history. She also like to share lots of interesting trivia about different psychologists, and that made things a lot more interesting.
—Guest James

My Fav Psych Class

Actually, I really enjoyed my Group Counseling Techniques course; at first I wasn't so sure. I am currently taking Child Psychopathology and it's really interesting also.

Favorite Psychology class

Personality Psychology was the class I found to be the best.
—Guest Bert

Abnormal Psychology!

I absolutely loved my abnormal psychology class! It was definitely the subject-matter that fascinated me the most, and our instructor's insights into each disorder that we talked about made everything even more fascinating. The funniest thing is that you find yourself suddenly analyzing your own behavior with every new illness you discuss, and constantly think "Oh, I have that!" Overall, a very interesting an informative psychology class.
