"It was a very thorough and comprehensive course. I was able to get a solid but brief look into many different areas of psychology which allowed me to consider future courses I might be interested in. Since the class was so lecture-based, it could sometimes get a little repetitive but I think that Prof. Kneeland tried her best to keep us engaged by asking for participation and turning and talking to our neighbors."
