Psychology courses at TCU

[TopFrog]

Anyone have some good insight on psychology courses at TCU? A friend was asking ...

Given the lack of context, I recommend abnormal.

General Psych with Stuntz was a fun class. She's crazy, and you learn a lot.

general psych is extremely easy. i made a 100 first semester with Broom. She's pretty good looking too

I took general psych with Bohem. Hardest general psych class but you will learn a lot. I was helping my pre med roommate study for a neuroscience final after his class. I also had stuntz for behavioral research my final semester. That's about all I know in that department. Made a's in both classes

Thanks so far

Dr. Esping is the best teacher in the Education department, if your friend is interested in childhood psychology.

Is Dansereau (sp?) still there?

Always liked him.

Latest I heard was that she is gone, she was awesome though.

Have him/her take Broom, Peutersdottir, Boehm, Cross, and McFarland if they are brave enough...

Broom: Intro

Peutersdottir: Metics/measurement

Boehm: Anything

Cross: Child Psych

McFarland: Love and Sex class... Jesus that woman is an open book.

When did stuntz leave? She is still on the faculty page. She was always real nice to me, especially after she found out I was joining the NAVY.

Boehm is a great teacher and he's one of the professors I go visit when I go back to TCU. I didnt know he taught a general psych class--I think he only did upper level classes like physio psych when I was there.

If the person looking to take the class is a psych or neuroscience or biology major, doing general with him will help them prepare for later classes (it will be more challenging). If they aren't looking to build a knowledge base for later psych/neuro classes and just want to fulfill science requirements, do it with someone else and get an easy A, unless they just really want to learn psych.
