Tufts University: PSY036 - EXP SOCIAL PSY LAB - Psychology - Professor ratings, reviews and much more | JumboAccessReview:
This was definitely one of the best classes I have had during my time at Tufts. Prof. Ambady was so helpful with all of my ideas and seemed really excited when I came to her to discuss my project. My group leader was super smart and was really laid back and good about checking in with me on my work. It was really great to be engaged in real research right on the cutting edge of psychology. I would definitely take any class I could with Ambady. Definitely a good way to start out my senior year.
Workload:
The workload was variable depending on your group. I think I might have had more work in my group than in some of the others but it hardly felt like work at all.

This was the worst class that I have taken at Tufts. The class was extremely unorganized and the Professor did not seem to care about it at all. Prof. Ambady doesn't return e-mails, nor does she know how to use SPSS (the program that students are required to use). There is not much to do in class however, as the main focus of the course is completing a semester-long research project. If you decide to take this class, be sure to inquire as to what is specifically required for each assignment, and take care when choosing classmates with whom you would like to work. With a good group, this class can be bearable...but just barely.
Workload:
Complete all steps required for a formal APA paper. IRB, intro/methods, full paper, two presentations, a poster, and a paper describing group performance. Picture what you did in 32 but much much longer. The assignments were not well-defined (see above), nor were their due dates provided until at least halfway through the semester.

Worst psych class I've ever taken; professor is absolutely horrible and has no idea what's going on, nor shows any apparent interest in students' progress.
Workload:
Assignments were not explained at all.

Maddox teaches this class in lecture format. He is as enthusiastic as you can get about Experimental Social Psychology. I had an impressively hard time with this course, but Maddox was often available for office hours, answered emails semi-consistently and tried as best he could to help me learn the material.
Workload:
The first half of the course, there is a ton of reading from a course packet and a textbook. There are weekly assignments (the class was a once a week 3 hourer) and a heavily weighted and time consuming group study. Hope you and SPSS get along!
