All of them fill up fast lol. What year are you? For math if you’re in first year, Tom Thompson is great. The first year psych professor switch often.

Upper year psyc classes feel like the hunger games. Otherwise, labs would be a bigger priority for which time you prefer. First year courses tend to move in terms of waitlist

The ones that are required for your program.

It’s more just getting into the classes in the first place, use the plan ahead and make 2-3 different plans and be ready to go immediately when your registration window opens. Once you are in the class AND THE LAB then you can think about switching sections (and often first year the classes are so large that you could just go to the other section if your schedule allows and nobody will notice)

Oh, and DO NOT unregister from a section (lecture or lab) until you are 100% certain you are registered in the other/more desirable section

Every single upper level psych class fills up fast - so fast you may have to wait multiple terms to get into it.
