Olga Parshina

This was probably one of my favorite courses that I've taken at Middlebury. Olga is an amazing professor and what I loved most about the class and her teaching was how she connected the material to everyday life so that the material went from theoretical to practical. Her lectures were engaging with in-class activities and group work and she gave plenty of opportunity for extra credit in a way that demonstrated your learning in the class without being just easy throw away points.

I loved Intro to Psych with Olga. She is absolutely riveting with engaging PowerPoints and lectures that are super stimulating to the curious mind. Weekly quizzes were never too difficult but ensured that you had done the tedious readings. In all I would certainly take this class again and I think that anyone wanting to take an intro to psych class should choose one with her.

I personally did not enjoy the class material, but Professor Parshina made it feel engaging. We had quizzes and homework assignments every week but they were relatively easy. We were able to use our notes and readings for help.
