This course was pretty hard. Lengthy readings and lecture content. In person mid terms and finals that were difficult. Ended with a 78.

Wasn't hard just took a lot of time to get through textbook content. Prof curved the grades at the end though which was super nice :)

The course was ok overall, and a lot of the content is like review for a health or psych student. Professor Hall is a bit quirky - he sometimes isn't clear in class and his tests can be weirdly specific. They're usually about 40MC with 5 short answer options from which you choose 3. His tests are based on both textbook and class content so make sure to actually read the textbook - he draws heavily from it for test questions but a lot of the content in the textbook isn't even covered in the lectures.
The breakdown for Fall 2022 was as follows: 75% for 3 unit tests, 20% micro-reflections (mini writing assignments, 150-200 words), and 5% discussion.Dec 2022 · liked itOn UW FlowRemove this
