    I'm pretty sure its only for SBS FCL students, so no. And its not as easy as people say it is, the average on the exams are always in the 50's or low 60's

    OPL= Open Laboratory

    And I think the OPL might be the research participation you have to do worth 6% of your grade? Maybe... 

    @crimematic I find psych 100 to be pretty easy. It was intimidating at first but the class average was like mid 70's. Both of mine has been in 90's so far. Easy in the summer in some ways...

    Really? I had Alder for both 100 and 102 and the average was in the 50's or very low 60's because of the correction for guessing. I guess its not so much "hard" its just an endless amount of reading and info to memorize

    Oh right. Mr. Alder... that punitive measure for "guessing" is utterly fuckin retarded. My buddy failed that class as well, with Alder, and is taking it again with me but different prof Jamie Palmer-Hague and it's much easier he says. So I guess it's just a prof thing.

    I'd have to disagree with the endless amount of reading. I didn't even buy the textbook and I'm doing okay. Compared to crim courses, there is much less info to study.
