Reviews of professor Chaim Tarshish

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Not bad, too many quizzes for me personally its about 2-3 every chapter and can make or break your grade. Papers and extra credit available hes pretty decent! Quizzes, papers and exams. Exams arent that bad usually 20-30 questions and he reviews. Papers are easy and clear rubric. The textbook and his slides are your best friends.

Professor Tarshish was a very fair professor! There were discussion boards (30%), quizzes (15%) and 3 exams (Exam 1 (15%) & Exam 2 &3 (20%)) that counted towards your final grade. Extra credit also helps boost your grade if you don't do well on an exam. Make sure to attend lectures, read the textbook, and take notes. You will ace all exams!

We had no clear syllabus at the beginning but exams, 4 papers, and a quiz every 2 or 3 chapters. He can be helpful outside of class but TA's are great and there is SONA ec at the end. Just read the textbook and follow along, not too difficult. Would like to take something different with him

He gives assignments and quizzes weekly , which are a huge part of your grade. His test are difficult. I honestly wouldn't take him again.

If you read before each class, you will have no problem following his lectures. He gave a couple of assignments throughout the semester with clear instructions, quizzes for every two chapters, and three exams. One of the kindest professors I've ever taken. I definitely recommend taking him. Provides extra credit (participation in SONA studies).

Professor Tarshish was great. This class was not a heavy workload. There are some quizzes, a few tests, and a couple research papers. As long as you stay on top of everything, this class is not difficult. He is also very passionate about what he is teaching.

I have zero complaints about Professor Tarshish, every PSY 350 class was a blast and a half with him. Though my only tiny nitpick is that if you're taking his class in the morning/like to sit in the back, it can sometimes get a little hard to hear the professor. I recommend sitting in the middle or in the front to hear him speak better.

Prof. Tarshish is a great guy. He's very humble and chill and just wants all of his students to do well. All he does is give out a few quizzes, 3 exams, a literature review of a scientific psychology research paper, and a poster for a topic involving cognition . Would definitely recommend him, attendance is taken during lectures and recitation.

Professor Tarshish is amazing! He is very understanding towards students and makes sure that all questions are answered. Workload is pretty light, and the TAs are great! Take Ava as a TA if you can.
