Is the quarter system at UCD really that bad?

Well that’s the case with Davis, too, for those classes that only have one professor teaching them (for example, only one professor teaches my ANS 123 class that is required for all ANS majors, and he’s terrible at teaching. Since English isn’t his first language he often has difficulty trying to explain concepts to the class, so he ends up leaving the class extremely confused). You can tell what professors teach what Psych courses here: [UC Davis General Catalog | Psychology (PSC) Courses](http://catalog.ucdavis.edu/programs/psc/psccourses.html) If there are no names after the roman numerals (which indicates which quarter the class is taught; I = fall quarter, II = winter quarter, III = spring quarter, IV = summer session 1 or 2 or both), it means there are numerous professors teaching the course; if only one name is mentioned, that is the only professor who teaches the course. For example, PSC 113 is only taught by Dr. Schank (my roommate took the course either last quarter or in the fall and she liked him, so I assume he’s a good professor), no matter quarter you take the class in.
