Olga Parshina

This is probably one of the more easier senior seminar in terms of work load. The main components were weekly homework assignments based on the readings that a group would have presented the previous week. Everyone has to present two times and it's low stakes. The final was a research paper based off an experiment we designed in class together. Even with the relaxed vibe of the work, the topics, readings, and lectures are quite interesting and you can tell how passionate professor Olga is about the subject.

I enjoyed PSYC105 with professor Parshina. We covered a different topic/unit each week. The lectures tended to move pretty fast, but she was always very open to questions about lectures, homework, or anything else. Exams were all open-note; there were small, graded, in-class activities that were closed-note to check understanding as we went.

Took PSYC 105 because I plan to major in psych. Amazing class and professor Parshina is extremely understanding and tries her best to make all the concepts clear! Please do the readings too when she tells you, they help tremendously and dont be afraid to reach out to her if you need help. Homework and exams are pretty simple again if you read and understand the concepts, lots of her teaching is really engaging so enjoy it.
