This class was actually my favorite class this year. The subject was really interesting, since a lot of it actually has something to do with real life (as opposed to trigonometric identities!?) and I learned a lot of really neat things. You were a great teacher too; I liked your easy going teaching style and I like how you showed us cool videos about psychology related topics in the real world. The Play-doh brain was really fun too-make sure you continue it next year!

Since the class was half a semester, I did feel like we rushed through a lot of topics. I felt comfortable in the first nine weeks and I felt that we covered everything thoroughly. But in the second nine weeks, we really rushed through everything, like the social psychology or the psychological disorders chapters. I also think (Me personally, maybe everyone else thought differently) that the stepping through the sections and the vocab cards were really helpful, and I was kind of disappointed when we stopped doing them, since my test and quiz grades started going down a bit.
