PSYC 4603

Professor Patterson is an extremely sweet and accommodating person, and brought us a couple treats in class. However, I just didn't do as well as I wanted to in class. Your grade is based almost entirely on papers (midterm and final), and you get a week to view the prompts and complete them. I guess I just didn't connect points the way Professor Patterson wanted me to, and I felt like it was impossible to give her what she wanted. Most of the time, I felt like class was really arbitrary and unstructured too. Professor Patterson is also a WGS professor and I feel really strongly that this should've been a WGS class, which I know are mostly writing, which I never would've taken. In my opinion, this class has absolutely nothing to do with psychology and just spits out demographical info. Don't take this class expecting to learn anything scientific. If you think you will like the subject matter and are a good writer, then you might like it. This class is very LGBTQ friendly and we talk a lot about it.

Prof Patterson is awesome! The topics are really current and interesting, she makes the Monday morning dreariness pretty bearable. Class is half her presentation, half a movie or in-class debate. Very fair grader and manageable amount of work. Take it!!
