Signed up for this class a couple of days ago because I just really wanted to try out Coopersmith. Looking for feedback from those who have taken this same course.
Is the crash course enough to pass the class? I’m reading over the two study guides but wonder if I need to concentrate more on the crash course. Basically, is there anyway to finish this course quickly? Also, do you remember how many questions were on the final and how many were response rather than multiple choice?
Thanks

I took the course about a month ago. Study the crash course PowerPoint thoroughly. You can complete the course in a short amount of time if you can learn the powerpoint quickly. The other powerpoints are great info, but the crash course powerpoint/video has all the information you need for the exam. Just make sure you thoroughly understand the concepts. Also, just a heads up the exam has a mix of multiple choice and short answer/essay questions. If you know the information in the powerpoints you'll be fine.

Abnormal Psych is one of the better-documented Coopersmith courses. If you don't really care about learning the subject matter, you can probably skip the textbook. I purchased it for about $10 shipped on that big website named for a river in South America.
This is one of a handful of courses for which Coopersmith offers a video read-through of the crash course PPT deck. After reading through the book and all the other provided materials once, I reviewed the video a number of times, usually at 1.25 speed, while checking email or performing other tasks. I found it an enjoyable course and the review materials helpful.
The exam I took was 35 multiple choice and 5 short-answer essay questions.

Thank you, just what I needed. I didn’t buy the book, but did make a quizlet of the crash course. I will also watch it several times.

Hey,
Can I ask how was the exam? How many essay questions were there? And were the MCQs straightforward?

Hi, the exam went well. I ended up making an 88. Thirty five multiple choice questions and five essay questions. No issues with the proctor. If you do a search for the textbook companion quiz site there are practice questions for the4th and 5th edition. Many of those questions were on the exam. Good Luck
