She trys to make the class interesting with slides, music, video clips etc. She trys to get to know you on a first name basis and is very friendly. The class is mostly note taking and you have to read the book on your own.

she is a great teacher but the course is difficult so u have to put effort...she is real easy going and a very sweet lady...i highly recommend her

You cannot just slide by in this class. but she does dedicate herself to helping you.

Great Professor, really knows her stuff. Easy A

She is a pretty nice teacher and tries to know your name even though there are 100 kids in the class. She really wants everyone to succeed. She's pretty hot too so that's a plus!

Pretty nice, but dudes dont get your hopes up, shes not hot! shes kinda all over the place material wise, LOTS of info to know.

This was her first time teaching this class. She's a very nice lady but the tests are hard. She also tried to cram a lot of assingments into a small amout of time.

She loves to get to know you personally, very nice, very enthusiastic about the material. She doesnt cover everything on syllabus but class is interesting. You need to go to class to pass!

Giza does love to get to know you and wants you to pass, plenty of opportunites if you bomb a test to bring your grade back up. Go to class, study, look for "take home messages." Theres a lot of information and you can tell she is a very intelligent woman. Its an easy class.

Giza is THE sweetest professor you'll ever meet...and she REALLY wants you to succeed. Just READ THE BOOK FIRST!!! or you will be very confused by lecture (she spends too much time bringing the "not so intelligent" up to speed. She'll do anything to help, just ask---and READ THE BOOK!! Its easy!!!

very nice woman. cares alot that u pass.. gives u 65 questions on test, only have to answer 50. gives u a study guide, has review seshes, and summaries for extra credit. need to come to class to pass tests, but dont think the tests are that bad.

she seems nice but she covers about 3/4 of what she puts on the syllabus.. and the majority of it at the end of the year is just reading the chapters on your own and then being tested on them. the format of her tests are good though (pick 50 out of 65 to answer)

She means well, really wants you to learn, will do anything to help. Test are hard and she is not very clear on what is on the test. Doesn't take attendence but you should go, if she knows you and likes you, she will help you out

loved this class, pretty easy, in class notes are unorganized, but will answer any questions yhou have, also held group study sessions, don't go to them unless you're prepared tho

Sometimes takes roundabout ways to explain things, but she does mean well. Tests are a great format (you answer 50 q's out of bank of 65), which helps a lot. Doesn't try to do trick questions, and lectures will generally keep you enertained.

such a nice lady! very intelligent and understanding. she really wants you to do well and will help you do so. tests are kinda hard

What a sweetie! Go over all of the study guide before exams and you will do fine. Go to class too and it's not hard. And she gives lots of extra credit.

Hard material but she tries to make it as easy as possible. A lot of take home tests, kind of hard but you will do good if you put in some effort. Gives lots of bonus points.

One of the easiest classes I've ever taken. Everything is right out of the book.

Love her. She is a great professor and would recommend her to anyone. Exams can be hard but were all take-home. She genuinely cares that her students do well in her classes. Shes fun, and makes the material interesting.

Tries so hard to make everything as easy as possible. She gives extra points if the room is hot because she feels as a psychologist that that may keep you form rememebr an answer to a question. Just studyf ro the exams and read over her guides. It's all in there!!!!

I loved Dr. Giza!! She is just a big sweetheart. She gave out take home tests, which were actually kind of hard BUT if you had 120 questions, you only had to answer 100 and you could pick which ones. Extra credit always available. As for personality, she is an absolute doll. I'm sure that you will love her.

really liked this class. attendance is extra credit.

aww i loved dr. giza. shes a sweet and caring woman. i had her for social psyh, liked her so muh that i took her for biopsych and im taking her again next semester, great woman

Good teacher. She will do anything to help you out grade wise. Tests are hard, but read the book and go to class and you should be fine!

She is a great teacher! She loves her job and will do anything to help her students. Def. take her if you ever have the chance

After taking PSY100 in the fall and getting a D with another prof, "The GZA's" class is a godsend. Tests are difficult but manageable, I mean I'm a High C/Mid B student and I have an A. Think about it. TAKE A CLASS WITH THE GZA IF YOU HAVE THE CHANCE!!

PLEASE TAKE THIS CLASS youll really regret it if you dont... easy if u study... her tests are awesome bc she gives you 60 questions but you only have to answer 50.. and theyre all mult choice the class is interesting and fun i loved it

She deffinetly tries to help as much as she can, and is free to help you in any way possible !! And she's hilarious !!

She is hilarious. Ready to help. Has some problems in expressing her thoughts very clearly, but the good thing is that what she teaches is very easy to understand. Tries hard to make class sound interesting, and it does sometimes get interesting. I recommend her!

She is very nice and gives you lots of chances for extra credit. I recommend going to the lecture it will really help you out on the exams. optional final. easy if you study from her study guides

I adore Dr. Giza. She is so funny and explains things really well. Going to class helps so much because she explains everything and gives you practice questions that appear on her tests. Optional final. The tests are 62 questions, but you only have to answer 50 and can drop the other 12. Multiple choice. Overall...she's funny and great!

Good Person. But meh teacher. She moves too fast, material is hard to cover. She may give you a study guide but you'll still have no clue what's on the test. You'll do yourself a favor attending class, extra points. Optional Final. Only take her if you're a Psych major.

Dr. Giza is a very intelligent woman who knows exactly what she's teaching. She has a strong passion for the subject so it makes learning enjoyable. She's a little spaced out when it comes to timeliness and deadlines but it makes the class easy. Finals are optional and she gives plenty of extra credit oppurtunities. I suggest her!

Dr. Giza's neat. Her class is interesting, and if you pay attention even a little bit, you don't need to ever open the book. Don't even buy it. She takes attendance every so often. Never know when. Tests are easy; she usually has you drop 10-15 questions of your choice. She never answers emails, even though she says she does. Call or text instead.

Azorlosa or Giza?...GIZA! This class/textbook is tough material. However, w/ Giza it's easy only bc the exams were TAKE HOME! I never read prior to the exams, therefore when doing the test it takes time/diligence by searching the bk for answers! Extra credit is always available. She is very nice. Yes she is scatterbrained but hey it works for her!

really nice. the material is not bad, and she gives you a study guide. DO THE STUDY GUIDE. easy A if you study. lots of extra credit opportunities, and she lets you drop 12 questions of your choice on every test. Very fair. She takes attendance with clicker questions, but its not really a big deal. take her, she's pretty good.

FUN CLASS. extremely helpful and funny prof. honestly, if u read the txtbook and go over her notes on blackboard, the tests are very fair. i always gota A or B [depending on if i studied or not] if u dont try u will fail. if u put the little effort by reading the txtbook, you'll easily pass. she givs u some test questions during class too. fun time

for me, the class was an easy A as long as you try to go to class (it's not a huge deal if you miss a few but i recommend going ESPECIALLY the day before a test) and even if you never go to class YOU HAVE TO READ, or you will probably fail.. overall she is really nice but sometimes very disorganized but if you don't mind reading- i recommend this.

Giza is awesome. She is really leient on grading. Lets you skip the final if you took all the tests and are happy with your grade, and she is really wiling to work with you. Her tests get progressively harder, but as long as you pay attention in class and skim through the chapters the night before you are fine. She is the best for psy 100.

Tends to waste a lot of class time. At times she's too lenient and it feels like were never accomplishing anything because she's constantly pushing back deadlines. VERY nice, likable woman but her class requires minimal effort. If that's what you're into, then take her. If you want to be challenged, take someone else. I didn't learn much.

Favorite teacher of all time, great professor and a wonderful human being.

What a great teacher for Intro to Psych! She is AWESOME! This teacher gives: study guides before tests, gives 65 questions on test but you only have to answer 50, she givens sample questions in class that are literally on the test, tons of extra credit opportunities! If you do not do well in her class, it is your fault.....she is very, very fair!

Very nice lady. Class isn't that hard and she's very reasonable.

Attendance is not mandatory but I recommend you go to class because she gives questions during class that could show up on the exam.You have to read a lot to stay on top of this class.Her tests are 65 questions & you can eliminate 50...the study guide she provides tells you everything that you need to study & if you study a lot you will be fine!

Class got pretty boring by the end of the semester. Would recommend going to class because it helps a lot for the tests. She generally never starts class on time, so don't worry about being on time. Tests are multiple choice, gives extra credit opportunities for psych journals

Dr. Giza is an incredible woman. I learned so much from her in this class. The class itself is pretty easy, but if you truly want to absorb the information and get an A+...you're gonna work your balls off. My class really came together through study groups and facebook and Giza loved it. I'd take it over and over again with the same people.

First, Dr. Giza will NOT let you fail as long as you show some effort. She gives unexpected extra credit often. That being said, assignments were a bit confusing and lectures were all over the place. I love the woman, but I think she is being spread too thin. She spent too much time worrying about PSY100 x.c.and our class missed out a bit bc of it.

Giza was easy overall. She let our class make as many note cards as we wanted for exams and we only had to answer 50 out of 65. Go to class, get the book and use it to study. COPY CLICKER QUESTIONS! They will be on exams.

Very nice, decently interesting, and she you helps out a lot on tests. For some classes she lets you have note cards and eliminate any 15 questions you choose. She also gives an extensive study guide before each test.

This class was so interesting and she always seemed to make it funny. The tests are kind of hard if you've never taken psychology before, but just look at the back tests! She lets you take note cards to every exam and there is tons of extra credit-- super easy.

Entertaining, helpful, and nice. You can use notecards on tests, attendance is extra credit, and there is no hw. There's tons of extra credit opportunities, and the clickers are annoying to buy but they are really helpful, and that's how she takes attendance.

Great Teacher! Very nice and understanding. Gives many personal stories but they are interesting. Tests are easy, can use note cards on tests and has more questions on test than need to be answered. Attendance is flexible..you get many skips and she doesn't take attendance every class.

She is a good teacher and explains things very clearly but she is a nutcase. She always seems lost and confused with her technology. She never responded to any of my emails and her office hours are unreasonable.

Dr. Giza begins the year with the "I'm your friend" approach and she attempts to keep it for the whole semester. She does rush through the powerpoints sometimes. She is helpful at times, but her busy schedule does complicate things, but she tries. Just go to class and pay attention and your golden for the semester.

She is the most understanding teacher I've ever had. If you do your work you will succeed. Best professor ever. If you don't like her, there's something seriously wrong with you. I'd recommend her to anyone and everyone. Very lenient and does whatever she can to help you. Great sense of humor also!

i loved her class & she really cares about her students. if it weren't for her class id be lost in what i want to spend my life doing. not only is she a great professor she's an amazing person all around. you can go talk to her about anything. she is always understanding. if you put in the work, she'll definitely be more than willing to help you

One of those professors that rambles. From the start no one takes the class seriously because you're allowed to use notecards for every test. The class is hard for those who actually read the textbook and don't use backtests. The only reason most kids show up is to answer the clicker questions and get attendance points. Other than that it's boring.

Giza is a passionate professor who cares about her students. Easy slides, easy to understand. Her tests are hard if you don't take the time to make the notecards. She also takes 4 out of 5 best test grades, and they're many extra credit opportunities. Overall, her class was funny and fair. BEST PSYCH PROF.

Dr. Giza isn't the worst, but I did not enjoy her class. The only good thing is she lets you use notecards on every exam, and the final is optional. The class is boring, but she gives you a lot of chances to boost your grades. Showing up to class will get you extra credit for attendance. Not the best professor, but not the worst.

Dr. Giza is really on the student's side. She does a lot to attempt to make the class easier. You can use notecards on the tests, which helps a ton. You have 4 exams, plus the final, making 5 total exams, you only have to take 4 if you want cause she takes the 4 best grades. Go to class, she uses clicker questions for attendance and doubles points

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.

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.

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+.

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.

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

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
