Online format (Spring 2021): two assignments worth 20% each; midterm worth 20%; final exam worth 30%; participation worth 10%; and 3% SONA bonus.
Relatively easy and very understanding. Online format was nice - recorded lectures done by Dr. Marigold were very interesting. Assignments were relatively straight forward and midterm was pretty easy. The final exam was quite difficult though - the questions were worded very... confusingly(?). Both exams were open book.Aug 2021 · liked it · 1 found this helpfulOn UW FlowRemove this
Really good course! It was a lot of fun! It is a fair amount of work, so not super easy. But if you try at it, you will get a good mark.

Took S26 offering with Sherman Kwok. The weekly discussions were smooth and two major assignments have interesting and easy structure. The midterm and final are fairly doable; it doesn't feel like a memorization-heavy course, maybe because you can apply it to people in your head. :)

Sherman Kwok is an amazing professor. Weekly discussions, assignments, a midterm and an in-person final. Easy 90+, but definitely study in depth for the midterm and final.

Before taking this course, know that it's entirely focused on intimate/romantic relationships. 10% for weekly discussions, two assignments worth 20% each, 20% midterm, 30% exam, and 3% SONA bonus. Assignments were pretty easy and exams were multiple choice with some short answer.
