• Wrapping up the course now in Winter 2025, online with Jessica Miller. Weird thing to note about her graded components is that for the discussion posts and weekly papers, she marks the first # that you do, instead of the best #. That means you can pick and choose which one you want to do by topic as it is different each week if you think you would do better for that week. (All modules are made viewable from Week 1 so you can plan it out.) There are just strict deadlines you have to follow that she lays out in a clear course schedule. Course assignments: first 6 out of 10 weekly discussion posts + replies to others; first 5 out of 8 weekly papers; paper about the personality of a public…

• Pretty straight forward course, but the work can get super repetitive. There are discussions and papers you have to do like every other week but it's manageable.

• This course required a ton of writing between multiple discussion posts/responses per week, "weekly thought papers", and then 2 other papers each worth 25%. Overall, the amount of writing required for the grading components seemed somewhat unfair or disproportionate.

• Straightforward course. There are discussion posts every week and written reflections on the course material almost every week, although you have some leeway with how many you need to submit. One major essay due in the middle of the course and one due at the end. Gives a nice overview of personality theory. Interesting stuff. Tip for the papers: know your APA7, and aim to hit the max page count.

• A *lot* of easy marks can be made or lost in how up to date you are on APA formatting for the assignments in this course, so be super duper careful that you're submitting a properly formatted assignment in this class.
