Any review carried over from elsewhere is marked with its source on its own line. - **2020-04** — I would recommend you only take it if you're a psyc major. It's doable, a little difficult, but with work you can get 80s - **2020-04** — Material for 226 is pretty interesting and not that difficult but I’d say walk in knowing that you REALLY have to study the course on your own and make use of his office hours for concepts you don’t understand he’s almost always in there And he loves exam questions that involve explaining a concept through experiments so focus on that when studying the material for 226 - **2020-04** — Not that great of an instructor. Fair grader though. You'll have to do most of the work on your own, which is not really not that big of a deal - **2020-04** — hes a fair grader you just have to study and give the material the time it needs. Literally people who say that hes a bad grader should blame themselves. - **2020-04** — Fair grader, interesting course ## See also - [All Psychology courses at AUB](https://studiety.com/aub/subject/psychology.md) - [Every AUB subject](https://studiety.com/aub/subjects.md) --- From Studiety (https://studiety.com/), an independent, student-run course guide.
