Retired recently. My loss! Took her 320 class and loved it. Was hoping to get in her 214.

Love this professor. Have taken every class she offers. A couple of things to watch out for: Don't let her catch you on social media and don't be late with assignments. Like students to ask questions and is pretty approachable.

Easy class. She doesn't like to actually, you know, show up for class. Makes it kind of easy, she kept skipping chapters since she didn't have class so much. It's all in the text books and on the study guide. :)

Boring, don't bother buying the book just make sure you read the lectures and make a note of sections she highlights for the exams. Missed a lot of days of class, says one thing in class and does another. Forgets what she tells the class. No tolerance for late work!

Class is interesting, but stay away from her online classes. she tend ignore your emails especially import one, such as questions about a paper and exams. she tends to go on vacation and forgot about there is a exam scheduled. she also tend to not follow her own dates of assignments and exams. she takes no excuses to missing work, even if your sick

I've taken 3 of Dr. Thurston's classes, mostly because I really like her teaching style. She can be very funny. Psy 100 was easy, psy 320 was moderately hard, the research class was really challenging

Never shows up for class, which is good for intro to Psych, but not for upper division classes if you actually *care* about the subject.

She is a very nice professor and encourages class-room interaction, but if students don't speak up or show interest, her lectures become monotonous and boring. But tests are easy and there is virtually no homework.

Super easy. You kinda have to yell the answers to her questions though, to avoid having to repeat them over a few times.
