No Comments
Terrible Teacher. Boring, not exciting, have to do all the reading
Lectures are disorganized, talks about her kids a lot, Tests are HARD! Very Self Consumed
Liked her a lot. If you just read the book for 201 you're fine. 301 is a bit harder and the material is more confusing- you just have to study harder.
very nice lady and very helpful if you ask, tests are hard if you don't prepare ahead of time, in class and take home sections, gives study guide and have to read, very flexible in scheduling, if you don't like psyc don't take it
Had her for both classes...And I love her. Shes real easy and as long as you do the study guide (its kinda long though) you'll do fine on the tests. Plus you get to pick 50/60 questions to awnser on the tests and the final is optional! Highly Recommende
not that bad of a class, had her for both classes 301 is harder. if u have to take no big deal but not an easy a
Had her for both 201 and 301. The reason kids love her is because she says everything kids want to hear from a prof about grades and tests. material is common sense but notes arent so study HARD to get an A.
i LOVED her and feel honored to have had her-she's the reason I chose my major. very interesting material. go to class and use study guide for tests. not an easy A, but well worth it--SO interesting
great prof, great stories, explains most everything really well, but read the book too, cuts you a ton of breaks
Such a sweetheart. Always available for class. Very interested in her students. Makes all information understandable by relating to things we understand
Had her in Psyc301 and she was great. The tests were were challenging but fair. You can drop up to 10 questions. But study lots and go to class
Interesting subject (of course I love psychology). To me, not all that great of a teacher but nice and she loves the subject. Read the book to pass the tests. Lectures prove to be a breif review of what you read.
her classes are so pointless except that she takes random attendance. you dont ever need to take notes or pay attention. just read what she assigns, maybe take notes on that and the study guide book that is optional really helps.
I had her for Summer College, she's a very dedicated professor, but always manages to get behind no matter what. The only way she teaches is through powerpoint-which gets a bit boring after awhile. But overall-she's one of the most fair profs ever.
I took this class in Summer College and I learned a lot. Dr. Giza was really nice, despite the dancing and references to "abracadabra." Good class.
Very nice lady, interesting subject, very fair grader, just not as easy as I thought it would be!

I thought this class was hard to concentrate in. She would go off on these tangents and after that I couldn't return to the text.
Dr. Giza was extremely disappointing for me. I enjoyed her class in the beginning, but once I had questions to ask her, she was very inconsiderate, unhelpful, and frankly confrontational. She says she'll do all that she can to help you, but that was not my experience at all.
This was a really fun lab. I loved her in the beginning; however, at the end when it came to writing our final paper and final getting graded on something she was so incredibly UNHELPFUL! She is the most unorganized person I have ever met and this class ended up being my most stressful one. I got an A,but I almost pulled my teeth out in the process
You don't have to attend the class to get a mediocre grade if that's what you're striving for. The textbook is used, but she goes over a lot of the material on powerpoints (posted on d2l). Attendance counts, but you use clickers. If you don't show up, you'll be fine catching up, but your attendance will just go down.
Took her at WCU, absolutely loved her. She is very sweet, knows her stuff and tries to make her lectures engaging. Provides tons of extra credit opportunities. Some people have difficulty on her exams but she lets you use note cards during them so make them and study! Text book is mandatory to pass this class! Lots of homework but they're so easy!
Giza's lectures are clear and informative. She tries her best to keep your attention by throwing out interactive examples through class. She tries to make it so that the class is easy to pass. Her test are not bad at all if you prepare for them. She allows flash cards and you get free skips. Help is there if you go to her office hours.
