Psychology

Love taking classes with MacMullin! She has a very clear teaching structure so you always know what to expect in class. I love how clearly she explains concepts and she is so kind. She gives 3 exams per semester, no final huge exam.

I thoroughly enjoyed this class. I knew it would be fast-paced and a lot of textbook reading going into it because of it being a j-term class, so I was prepared for the amount of work we were assigned. The class is very straightforward, with lecture in class and mostly only textbook reading as homework, with the occasional article to discuss in class. If you do the textbook reading and pay attention in class, the tests are very straightforward and fair. I really liked Professor Collaer, as it was obvious that she is extremely educated in psychology and has a strong interest and passion for it. She was very helpful during office hours and I am actively looking for more classes taught by her.

This course was very easy. We had readings from the textbook each night, but they mostly just supplemented the in-class lectures. I was able to just skim through the textbook, as most of the exam questions were based on in-class lectures. A lot of the material was review from AP psychology (which I used to get into this course). I was actually very surprised at how much of the material I already knew. I really enjoyed learning the concepts from this course, as understanding human social situations is very applicable to many different fields. MacMullin was very good at engaging us during class lectures. She constantly asked us to think about how concepts related to our own lives. She gave examples of peer-reviewed research articles that proved psychological concepts/theories. If students asked questions that she didn’t know the answer to, she would research them and answer the questions in the next class. She was also very organized. The expectations were always very clear and she made sure we knew when tests and assignments were due. She was very positive and good to be around. There were three unit tests and two writing assignments over the course of the semester. One of the writing assignments was to read 3 papers from a social psychologist and describe their findings. The other one was to interview someone about concepts learned in class and write about their responses. I would definitely recommend taking this course with Professor MacMullin!
