Anybody have some input about Dr. Days 3rd year courses such as

• Positive Psychology 3BA3
• Attitudes and Beliefs 3CB3
• Forensic Psychology 3CC3

I have taken his abnormal psych2ap3 and personality psych 2b03 classes and have enjoyed and done well in them. How do the 3rd year courses compare? Some pros and cons?

Thanks

All his courses are structured exactly the same (lecture-wise, test-wise, etc). Only difference is that Positive does NOT have an online quizbank (at least it hasn't yet). Keep that one in mind for sure, but it's a nice course otherwise.

As always his teaching is amazing and well worth attending and taking the course for that alone, along with the fact that all of the subject matters are very interesting imo.

Other than that, I'd suggest taking a look at course reviews found on this site, as his classes are pretty well discussed by people. If you did okay in his 2nd year courses, then you'll do similarly in the upper year ones too as the only main difference is subject matter and material

I wanted to take forensic psych! :.)
I saved it for a treat in my last year. :.))
And...it's not offered...:.(

Positive Psych was a really good course. Compared to personality and abnormal it covers LESS material and the first 'unit' is mostly review from personality. Even without the online practice quizzes it wasn't bad at all, the material itself teaches you so much about everyday things you will love it. I haven't taken forensic psych but it's only offered every other year so it won't be offered in the upcoming year! If you're graduating next year then you won't get a chance to take it.

The pre-req for attitudes and beliefs is social psych which is taught my Dr. Ostovic. She's a good lecturer overall but her midterms were not easy. I wouldn't recommend taking it unless you're okay with a low-ish mark but of course your learning style is different so you might like her.

Dr. Day also teaches adolescent psych and the pre-req for that is child development taught by dr. ostovic.

I just wanted to correct the above posts and say that forensic psychology WILL be offered according to the tentative timetable. I have a friend who inquired and apparently they are offering it again due to demand. So, there is hope!

I took Positive Psych with Dr. Day this past semester and it was by far one of my favourite courses, simply because the stuff you learn is not like any another other course (personally)! It's all about feeling good, doing good and the evidence to prove it.

Much like Personality Psych, two midterms and an exam with the same level of difficulty. Like mentioned in the posts above, it's structured exactly like Psych 2B03 all the way from question types to testable textbook material! It may seem repetitive simply because it is the same idea over again but if you liked Maslow, Rogers, Jung and are okay with his testing style, then definitely try it

Can someone write a review about Psych 3CC3? Thanks!
