Olga Parshina

I appreciated Professor Parshina's blunt attitude and sense of humor during the lecture. As long as you do the readings thoroughly, the class shouldn't be too difficult. Psyc 105 is a great course to take even if you don't intend on majoring in psychology.

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.
