That's another way the quizzes are going to negatively affect this year's class. Last year we had a midterm to learn Dr. Kim's style and the emphasis on application (which can be quite different from other profs) but this year they'll be going into the exam not knowing what to expect.

It's not gonna end well :-/

You're in chem eng second year and you're saying a first year psych is "a lot to keep up with"? Aren't you taking heat transfer and energy transfer and other crap like that? How does a first year psych even compare?

Any course that requires you to read crap and deal with the interactions between persons is a lot to keep up with for engineers... why do psych when you could be doing practice problems? :S
