Comment:

I love Professor Nathanson! I had her for part of PSY 01 and for PSY 13. She is a sassy Israeli and keeps her classes really interesting by bringing in clips and lots of pictures etc. I loved both of her classes and am absolutely going to try to take more.

Comment:

She was a really good professor. There were a few moments where the lectures were a little boring, but then we also did a handful of activities that were both entertaining and taught something relevant. I would recommend her and the course.

Comment:

The pace is about 20 pages of reading a week in the textbook. The font is comparably big in the textbook, so the readings go by fast. Psych 1 is an easy course, as long as you do all the readings and study well. The lectures are all very interesting and fun. You won't be bored.

Comment:

Most interesting of 3 lecturers in class. Funny at times but went through some slides too quickly/jumped around. I got the impression that she thought we didn't want to be there, so that was off-putting.

If you are taking social psych, take it with Prof Sommers in the fall - you'd be making a mistake taking this section.

She was one of the best teachers I ever had. I really enjoyed her in-class demonstrations-- they make the reading material clear.

Comment:

I enjoyed her in class, but not outside. She's in charge of determining if outside classes can be transferred in to count toward your psych major, and she's a hard-*** about it.

worst psych class I've taken, and I'm a psych major. i thought social psych would be interesting, but sinaia proved otherwise. brushed off students who asked questions, clearly didn't know the answers

Able to relate material well to real life situations. Always going beyond the ordinary lecture, bringing in videos, newsclips, etc. Highly recommended.
