Olga Parshina

I will preface this by saying I absolutely despise the course content, because I am not interested at all in the "research" circle of Psychology. However, had I taken this course with anyone but Olga, I definitely would've dropped the class. Essentially, the entire class revolves around us building on the research project we choose near the beginning of the semester, with weekly take-home quizzes and 2 exams. Her expectations and syllabus were laid out in a clear manner, so as long as we gave ourselves enough time to work on our each designated section of the research project as per the syllabus, the class was manageable. Although I absolutely hated the class because of how much work had to be poured into it, the sole reason I managed to pull through was that Olga is such a chill professor, and her teaching of this course, in comparison to other professors, in my opinion, seemed significantly more manageable and less fast-paced (although it was still pretty fast-paced). Definitely recommend taking Research Methods with Olga if you need to take it for the Psych Major.

This course is very interesting. prof Parshina is very knowledgable and passionate about this topic, and she is even one of the leading figures in the field! The workload was managebale, and she have the "HELP" button, which is an anonymous Google survey on Canvas where you can submit any comments or advice for her teaching. And she response very fast with that. Same with emails, where she is a quick responder, with good and patient explanations for whatever questions you have.
