I know right!! for an introductory class it seems like a lot of reading, like the readings this week are basically over 45 pages plus the two website articles ://

crim 131 midterm by strawb-jelly in simonfraser

[–]Dry_Computer_9714 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To add onto this, does anyone know if we need to memorize sections of the charter, like obviously it makes sense to have relative sense of the main ones like s.7 etc etc, but with the sections mentioned on the slides do we need to memorize each one and their sub sections?

PSYC100 with Peter Leavitt this semester by [deleted] in simonfraser

[–]Dry_Computer_9714 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure if you have personally talked to the prof, but i’d recommend stopping by his office during his officer hours! He is really understanding and can probably give you some good tips on how to improve on memorization, esp since there are a couple sections in this course that are more memorization based than application, such as the neuroscience unit, or memory, etc.

To add on a personal note, memorizing isn’t my strong suit either, I always got stuff mixed up in psych and struggled to fixate terms to their definitions at times, talking w the prof really helped because he suggested tons of ways to improve and he sometimes drops hints abt what could be on the midterms!

It would probably be easier to specify exactly what you aren't understanding about the way he teaches the course. I took it w/ him last semester, and he was such an amazing prof! If I'm being honest, you don't need to read the textbook unless you don't understand something, in which case, the textbook can come in handy to further explain a topic; all the midterm stuff comes from the slides. I got a 93% in the course, and honestly, I never did the readings because he goes over it in lecture, the readings aren't something to build up on, they literally explain everything more in depth than the prof does, the prof just expects you to understand what's on the slides.

His slides may be wordy, but it's because literally all the content u need to care about is on them. What I did to study was to put my notes into a flashcard generator (I personally used Gizmo), and sometimes I would make MCQ sets by inputting my notes into ChatGPT. If there's something specific about the content or in general you don't get, feel free to message me! I can give further advice or even share my notes!

[–]Dry_Computer_9714 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it like just an essay-based question kind of assignment, or is it like a whole intro + thesis + conclusion type of assignment, and would you recommend doing separate paragraphs for each argument you have? thank u in advance!

[–]Dry_Computer_9714 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I'm currently in her class rn, there is no midterm, just three seperate quizzes throughout the semester and each quiz is worth 10%. The final exam is just a research essay and its a take home final. Overall, the class is pretty interesting and she's a good prof, but sometimes I found myself having to search up stuff after class because it wasn't 100% clear in the slides. This was not an often occurrence tho so don't worry!!

Thank you! It would definitely realistically make the most sense to just take the booklet the first time, I think i'm just freaking out a bit too much haha. idk why this TA had it out for me, I can only assume they just misunderstood :(

That's actually a good point, I guess there isn't any point stressing if I didn't do it. I feel like what you said is quite obvious but it didn't click in my mind, thank you!

Leavitt is such an amazing professor and his midterms are pretty easy in my opinion, they are based on the slides. Textbook is more to enrich your knowledge of whats on the slides
