More like a business class and not really a psych class

Very birdy course but may depend on the professor.

This was an interesting course. I recommend it, especially if you're minoring in HRM.

Didn't find the course material useful. It's an overlap of other psych courses and really boring.

The course was pretty interesting. Although it is a 3 hour class, I did not find it hard to keep myself engaged in the material. I really enjoyed this course.

Easiest Psych 300 course? 1 point, 8 comments
“I was picking my electives for Winter 2015 and was wondering if anyone knew some easy Psych 300-400 courses?”
u/Al-Dabbagh: “I have never taken it so I can't say for sure, but I hear that organizational psych 338 is pretty easy”
u/c0nfidence: “Psych 338, 339, and 340 being the easiest out of the 3. Took Psych 340 with John Michela and it was definitely the easiest class I've ever taken. Weekly team meetings during class time to work on mini assignments and a final exam that was open book. …”
