Olga Parshina

Although Prof. Parshina's class is challenging, I learned a lot of material that set me up for doing research in the future. The lectures aren't too bad, and she's honestly a pretty funny and interesting person. There are weekly quizzes and frequent textbook readings, but the main component of the grade is the final project, which you work on slowly over the course of around twelve weeks. She is harsh when grading writing assignments like the project and the labs, but if you make corrections, there's usually no problems with the final grade.

The course was interesting, and I learned a lot from it; however, I believe this course is more enjoyable for students whose focus is psycholinguistics, not so much psychology. However, there were some concepts in this course that really changed the way I view some language- affecting diseases.

Research methods is not the most fun or interesting course, but Olga made it much more digestible. She was an amazing professor and incredibly accommodating to students' needs. While methods is not the most enjoyable, it is very useful. I highly recommend taking this course with Olga if you have the option!
