Ask a UCLA Psych Major (Transfer) anything!

Hello, I have a few questions. :)

Sorry if you answered this already, but what exactly makes the workload heavier than it is at a CC? Is it that there’s a lot more reading in a short amount of time or that the content is harder to understand? And does the fact that UCs go by quarter system have an effect on the workload?

Is it common for upper division psych classes to have discussion classes? If the classes show up as only lecture on the schedule, are there ever unofficial discussions held by TAs or anything? For the lecture classes, is the workload basically just reading, tests, and papers?

Thank you for your time!
