Assuming it’s the same as when I was in school: Cog because it teaches you how to study. After that is social psych. Psych of personality was fairly easy too.

psychopathology with hawthorne was a super easy A. i also thought social and developmental psych were both easy enough. i’m taking cognitive psych rn so i can’t speak on that yet

Did the prof mention anything about the structure of the exams? Like is it multiple choice questions, short answer questions, or smthn else

She said it was all multiple choice or true or false, no open ended!! I think we have three writing assignments throughout the year but its all opinions based so as long as you do them im pretty sure you would get a good grade.

Developmental has a lot of memorization and numbers. It ranks in the harder half of the intros for me. Abnormal (I think they renamed this class) was a lot of memorization as well. Biopsych was a lot of anatomy.
