Student Satisfaction Comment from General Psychology Student: “I am very satisfied with the educational aspect of the course I took, Abnormal Psychology. After returning to school as a 55 year old adult, I found that online courses were better in terms of remembering the course content... i.e. open- book quizzes. I found I recalled information better than if I had crammed for a traditional on campus scheduled exam, probably resulting from time pressure.”
