...particularly prolific test-taker this summer, given that I had all three of the characteristics that mark most study subjects: I was in Cambridge, I was broke, and I had sufficient free time. Nobody participates in psych tests because they “like” them. I learned the ins and outs of the test-taking system at William James—tests on the 15th floor were fun, the 14th floor was home to quick $5 tests, and the 8th floor had the boring cognitive tests that I signed up for only when I was really desperate...

You’re not going to be a psychologist, therapist, counselor, or anything else directly related to the course. But at the cost of four hours a week, but you can share in their pessimism about existence after delving into the field that deconstructs all of life?...
...nice day and with enough whining, most professors and TFs can be persuaded to hold class outside WJH in the courtyard. Between classes, students often take advantage of the cafeteria on the second floor, the comfortable library couches for a nap, or the chance to guinea pig themselves in psych experiments for petty cash. Most of the professors have been around the department for quite a while and will act like over-excited puppies if you show up at their office hours. Professor Peter V. Marsden, who teaches the required statistics class, is always happy...
