Definitely not a joke class, but if you stay engaged, actually read the articles, and focus on the conceptual understanding, you will be fine. Hill is super helpful and approachable for questions too

Don't miss class bc his PPTs are full of pictures and doesn't post recordings. He lectures about how important stress-relief and mental health are and then doesn't give extensions or work with students who are struggling mentally or with workload in the class. Exams are difficult and have nitty grittys about research article studies we read. Interesting concepts sometimes that relate to the real world and our experiences but not worth the grade.
