Is there anyone with this combination or in any of these programs? I am interested in doing these for POST and wanted some advice on the courses, workload, things they wish they knew before they got into them etc. Especially the Bioethics minor, i understand it’s philosophy based but any other info/advice about these would be greatly appreciated!!
As someone who took Psy100 with Prof Denton and had friends in Whissels class i don’t understand why Whissel has a reputation of being easier. He has more tests that are weighted so much more compared to Denton. She uses a plato form called Mindtap that is great for learning the content and testing urself to prep for tests. It’s also graded so it’s one of many little things her class has that adds up to your grade.
She also has a study guide for every lesson and if you studied the terms on each chapter before a test ur pretty much guaranteed an A. Denton is also great if you actually plan on taking Psych as a minor/major or specialist because the Mindtap platform basically forces you to learn the content through spaced repetition activities. I never felt like she made anything unnecessarily hard and i thought her lectures were pretty engaging and applicable to life.
This is for incoming first years . DO NOT be discourage at all if you don’t get into Whiseels class, Ashely Denton is a great professor.
