Great teacher and sweet person. I don't know why other people are saying her exams are hard. They aren't. The questions are literally copied from her slides. 2 exams are online and there's a final, where she lets you have a cheat sheet. Attendance isn't necessarily mandatory, and you can get away with doing clickers at home. But sometimes, she does in class activities for participation points or changes her clicker ID. Go to lecture but you don't have to pay attention or take notes. She's an easy grader and the class isn't time consuming AT ALL. I would definitely recommend this class for an easy A+.

Professor Vandaalen is the sweetest and truly cares about her students! Attendance isn't mandatory, but there are clicker questions that you get participation points with. You can follow along through PointSolutions. This class taught me a lot without being a stress-inducer. Loved her!

If you are going to take PSYC344, keep in mind that the topics discussed in this class are not so happy and cheery and bright. The class is about stress, addiction, disease, etc., and will not have you feeling awesome afterwards. Dr. Hamilton was very nice though, and her class was not that hard. No aspect of the class took up too much of my time. Strangely, she read off her slides verbatim. It was as if she did not know anything about Health Psychology beyond the words on those slides. Since the class was completely asynchronous and she just provided the videos that she recorded last year, I didn’t feel much of a connection to this class. Depending on how you perceive it, it’s either an Easy A or a waste of money.
