Comment:

Easiest class Ive taken. Keep up on homeworks (she will forget to mention them but theyre online) exams can be tough but you only answer 40 out of 55 questions and can use notecards. Her study guides are clear. Write down the clicker questions from class because they are on the exams. Drops the lowest grade which can mean no final if you do well

She knows exactly what she is talking about, but you need to put effort into taking this class. Tests can be difficult, but she allows note cards which is sweet. She does give extra credit opportunities. Allows 3 out of 4 tests to be considered for grade take all 4 and she drops the lowest.

Comment:

I freaking love Dr. Giza. I don't know how she is for psy100 but for stat she is a fantastic teacher. I usually suck at math and will probably be getting a high A. Her #1 priority is that the students actually learn and fully understand the material which is unlike any prof I have ever had. She genuinely cares about us and lecture is entertaining

Giza is very nice but would constantly get off topic. Lets you use flash cards on the exams but the way she sets them up is weird and makes it difficult to finish in the 50 minutes we have.

Dr. Giza is awesome. She's very nice as long as you care about the class and respect her. The tests come from the lectures and slides, not the textbook. Do the homework each week (you can redo them until you get 100s if you want to), make notecards, and take advantage of the extra credit opportunities, they're easy.

Tough grader, lectures are kind of pointless. labs are tough she doesn't really go over the material with you. She means well but she's tough. doesn't get back to you by email.

Would not recommend the professor as for gen ed credit. Makes the class a lot more complicated than it has to be. First test is easy, enjoy it, won't happen again. As the semester went on, it seems like the more I studied the worse I did.

Comment:

Her tests are hard. Her lectures don't benefit you in anyway because she gets off topic. Attendance doesn't matter, and as long as you read the the textbook and make good note cards for the test (you can use them during it), you should be fine. She wants you to succeed, and will give you extra credit if needed. She truly cares about her students.

Comment:

Her tests are hard, yes, and her lectures can get very off-topic, but she really does want you to succeed and (at least in the higher level courses) she is willing to work with students to make the syllabus work best for them. She can ramble but she's interesting and she knows her stuff. I really like her even though I'm not exactly getting an A+.

Boring and not very clear with material but offers tons of extra credit. If you have the opportunity take a different teacher.

Comment:

Dr. Giza is a nice enough person. However, her lectures are extremely off topic. It is frustrating to go to class because we get so far behind on the material but the online hw modules are so far ahead so it's confusing. Attendance isn't mandatory but is extra credit and on her tests you have 55 questions and only answer 40 and can bring notecards.

Comment:

I am near the end of my class with Giza this semester. Honestly the class is quite easy and should be an easy A given that she gives a load of extra credit, note cards on tests and study guides. In terms of gaining knowledge for the sake of learning she is disorganized and if you are a premed, your screwed for the MCAT if this is all you do.

Comment:

Had Dr. Giza this semester. Although I am doing very well in her class, I honestly hate the way this class is structured. First day of class she came across as the "chill" professor. She is completely unorganized and does not follow the syllabus. You HAVE to read the textbook. I outline each chapter and that's only what's helped me.

Comment:

The material in class and material in the textbooks are totally different, so it's like taking two classes. She rambles about things that are totally irrelevant to the subject matter, and acts as if she does a fantastic job as a teacher. Makes no effort to help.

Comment:

Class is pretty optional, but she takes attendance with clickers. The online homework is easy and the textbook and homework are practically the test. Never paid attention in class and still did fine. She gets boring really easily.

would not take this teacher for psy 100. such a hard class for a GENED. tests are so hard. lectures are interesting but she goes off a lot. homework online but its easy. there are easier psy professors out there. the tests are mainly your final grade. if your doing bad make sure you do the extra credit.

Extremely confusing and all over the place in class. Her lectures are boring and don't match up with any of the homeworkreading assignments. Allowed to have unlimited notecards during exams but they're still impossible to pass. I wouldn't recommend taking her class.

I enjoyed her class, I never had trouble paying attention to what she said. Online homework is annoying but it still counts. She'll go over your test and answer any question during her office hours. Clicker questions aren't very hard and sometimes they appear on the test. I would definitely take a class taught by her again.
