She is an amazing professor who is passionate about the material. We did many in-class activities involving different types of studies and experiments to show how we use psychology daily. Reading the textbook is crucial as well is paying attention in lectures. All quizzes, homework, and exams are open notes but you have to do the reading and pay attention in class. In class discussions were interesting and relevant to the lecture topics.

Her exams and quizzes are all open notes, open book, and open internet, which makes taking them less stressful. However, these exams and quizzes are timed and tricky; if you didn't read the textbook carefully or understand the materials well, it is still difficult to do well on them. However, Olga does give plenty of extra credits throughout the semester for students to earn back the points they have lost. For example, on the class before the exam, she will give extra credits to the groups that do well on the jeopardy game which is based on the exam materials - so read the textbook and go over class notes because those extra credits can really help your grade!

I'd recommend taking very, VERy good notes on the lectures. Take notes on everything she says. Her quizzes and tests are open notes, but they're not as easy as it sounds. Her questions are sneaky hard, they're not questions you can just look up. If you use the lecture slides, do the reading she tells you to do, and then use your notes from class, you will be okay. Sometimes her test open answer questions are things we talked specifically about in class, and you'll get full credit on them if you use your class notes. She is a hard grader and looks for very specific answers on homework and exams so that's why I stress taking good notes on everything she says during lecture.
