Jason Arndt

Professor Arndt's lectures are extremely effective. Most of the material that you need to know is included in the lecture, however you will need to read the textbook in order to excel academically. Arndt tends to be a harsh grader and expects you to adhere to strict deadlines. You should not take this class with him if you do not enjoy putting in a lot of effort. He assigns weekly study teams and prep, which includes taking notes during personal reading and lectures. Attendance is a must. The lectures are interesting, and he does a very nice job at them. Overall, a necessary class, but I would consider a different professor if you are looking for an easy A.

This course should be required for all human beings. I didn't have any prior knowledge about psychology going into this class, and I learned tons, enjoying every piece. BEWARE: this class has a hefty workload. Prof Arndt assigns lots of textbook readings, essentially covering the entire textbook. It is required to turn in lecture and textbook notes every week, so these are always lengthy assignments. If you pay attention/take notes in lecture (very important) and actually read the readings, the tests are not that difficult. If I followed his instructions while we were learning the content, then little studying was actually necessary to do well on exams. The papers are also not too difficult or long, but the deadlines can sneak up. Arndt overall gives amazing lectures and is very engaging. He knows how to teach dense content in a short amount of time. Listen to what he says.

This is a very effective intro course. Although I discovered that psychology is not an area of interest for me, it is not because of this class. Arndt is a really good professor, who uses psychological principles in the teaching of this class. Although it is difficult and the readings/notes take a long time, the difficulty is necessary to learn the amount of content. It's not easy to get a good grade in this class, but if you do the work fully and study for exams, it's certainly possible. If you want to continue with psychology, I recommend to take this class with Arndt.
