PSYCH 2AA3 vs PSYCH 2AP3?
I was wondering what people thought about these two classes in terms of interest and easiness. I need a psych credit with the highest mark possible. Thanks!

well it depends what your learning style is, abnormal is heavy memorization compared to 2aa3. if you have had a class with dr day you probably know that he has online practice questions which are very helpful when studying for the midterms, and his slides are also a huge help. dr ostovich doesn't post slides until AFTER she finishes the section which means when in class you have to constantly be typing! and the other good thing about abnormal is that dr day posts podcasts so if you miss a class it's no big deal --> this is not true for 2aa3. content for both courses are interesting but i found abnormal psych more interesting, only reason why i took 2aa3 was so i could take adolescent psych with dr day and now he's not even teaching it anymore :(! but anyways my opinion is obviously biased because i did better in abnormal than in child development and i love dr day's teaching style!

Dr Day usually teachs Psych 2AP3, and I highly recommend this course. It might be the most interesting one I've taken so far. He's also a great lecturer, and if you miss a class you can always listen to the podcast. The midterm has a quizbank, so you'll always know ~80% of the questions, with the rest coming from textbook readings/guest lectures.
