Its either 254 or some sort of GPA booster. I guess Psyc 100 but I hear that course has a lot of work and its hard for a 100 level course.
Marchesi wrote the textbook that you'll be using, and hence he knows everything inside out. From what i've heard (his students and his TA's) he's a good professor but at the same time, expects a lot from his students. He is definitely not going to be easy. I heard he expects a lot from his TA's as well, to fully understand the concepts, so I'm sure they'll do a much better job teaching.

For most lower division business courses, its curved anyways. Meaning that your grade is relative to the class.

Psyc 100 and 102 both have heavy workloads.... I took 102 and it was the toughest (in terms of workload) electives ever. 8 quizzes, 3 midterms, 1 paper, 1 final, and each chapter of the book is like 40-60 pages.
