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

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.

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.
