I can only speak for Psych 3F03. In the fall with Feinberg, it was a 55% final, with two midterms worth 22.5%. It was a night class and a couple times we finished within a half hour, usually within an hour, and never more than an hour-and-a-half. There was no textbook but each week we had to read 1-3 published papers that were pertinent to what we covered in class. All examinations were multiple choice and weren't too difficult, but not a walk in the park either. The class performed well on both tests. The exam was something crazy though. Not because it was hard, but because it tested articles and concepts that we never learned! My theory was that they re-used a previous year's exam either accidentally or without realizing that the material deviated. I still ended up with an 11 though, so it worked out. I would recommend it if you're looking to take an upper-level psych as it's relatively light in terms of workload, pretty interesting, not hard to get a double-digit grade in, and really helps you develop a better grasp of evolutionary theory and its intriguing applications.
