I took Psych 1 and 2, overall very easy class. Make sure to take good notes, as they are a big portion of your grade, and are allowed to be used in tests. Tests are for every chapter and consist of multiple choice questions, followed by 2 essay questions. Homework is rarely assigned, just make sure to pay attention to his lectures.

Dr. Anson is truly a phenomenal teacher whose impact I will carry with me for the rest of my life. He genuinely cares about his students and is deeply committed to seeing them succeed. His dedication, passion, and ability to make his classes engaging set him apart from any other teacher I've had. I especially enjoyed the moments when he would share stories from his own life and offer advice about our futures - those conversations were inspiring and unforgettable. He often took the time to have one-on-one talks with me, which made me feel seen and supported. Thanks to his encouragement and guidance, I am now pursuing a career in psychology. One of the most meaningful gifts I've ever received came from him - a book about quantum physics that completely transformed the way I view the world. Dr. Anson goes above nd beyond for his students, and I feel incredibly lucky yo have been one of them.
