clear presentation of challenging material.

She makes really hard material really easy to understand. Great teacher!

pretty good teacher, ver hard material, quizzes are pretty easy, tests are hard

great instructor, very helpful, interesting lectures. Take her class!!

made difficult course material easy, strange sense of humor

Fun class, learn a lot about the brain.

She was so amazingly helpful and knowledgeable about the subject!!!!

She is a great teacher. She was enthusastic and well versed in the subject. She not only taught, but made me critically think about the the subjects. She is by far, my favourite teacher at SDSU. =)

seriously you should take her! she made a class that could have killed me into one I got an A in. Just really listen to her lectures and then go home and read...you have to read the book. but you learn a lot of interesting stuff.

Sexy as hell with a awsome teaching style.

She makes a difficult subject a lot easier to learn. Tests are easy if you study for them.

Awsome class! I learned a lot,she is an awsome instructor...amazing lextures!MY FAVORITE TEACHER AT SDSU! You should take it, she makes a really hard class, really easy! If you have to take this class, take her! Her handouts also help,but you should go to class, some movies are included in the exam!

A little difficult at some points, but pretty interesting overall. Not as bad a class as you might think. Go to class and pay attention to the videos. Don't be afraid to ask questions.

you have to pay attention and read.If you do both those things you're guaranteed a good grade. She makes difficult material easy to remember. Funny and I found her kinda hot in a weird way.

she is a great professor.materials are hard to understand but she makes it so easy.go to class, take notes, and read and you will do fine.for exams, study your notes and understand the concepts.test are short answers.

Hard class, but she made the material easy to understand. If you go to class every day and take good notes, then you should do fine. She puts studyguides on her website - study those and your notes and you can get an A or B. I def. recommend taking her!

THis class in very interesting but hard. YOu have to study HARD and read the handouts she posts on the website-everything is on the test but you have to memorize 3 pages of stuff-and I mean know word for word how to explain every concept!!

She's hot! Very interesting, if you want to know how your brain works this class is for you. Lots of work but worth every penny. and she's HOT!

The material is very difficult. She explains it very well and is willing to help you. Don't buy the book. ALways go to class to learn the material well. Tests are based on her handouts posted on her website.

Even though I found this class difficult, I certainly cannot complain about the Prof's teaching ability. This is an excellent class! I studied and read the book, and only got a C-, but would definitely take any of her classes again. She is an awesome teacher.

Best Prof ever for hard material. if you are willing to study you're willing to get a good grade. Good looking to boot....

She is sooo nice and very helpful. The material is hard though, so if you are a lazy San Diegan, then you should not take this class. If you are willing to learn and to study, then I HIGHLY RECOMMEND her... She is the smartest teacher ever!

Excellent Professor, very enthusiastic and not hard on the eyes!

My favorite class at SDSU. Challenging (as opposed to many others), well-planned, clever, and essential if you want to work in anything Neuropsy related.

This teacher goes above and beyond what any other teacher does on this campus. The textbook is user friendly and she really wants to get to know her students even though it's like a 300 student class. Read the handouts, study them and read the book for further comprehension. 3 tests and a final as well as 6 quizzes, lowest score dropped.

Professor Thomas is one of the BEST psychology professors at state! She really knows her stuff. Her lectures are clear and orgainzed so you can easily follow. Her powerpoint slides are funny! She keeps blackboard updated with grades and post notes online for each section. So if you just study her notes then you will do fine on tests and quizzes!

Awsome teacher, very helpful. Gives handouts for tests, makes hard subject interesting.

Only class I had of 250 people where it was RARE that someone missed class..I mean ever! She is an incredible speaker who makes the class very entertaining: lots of short stories, movies, little in-class experiments. FUN! 2 tests and a final (multiple choice), 6 quizzes (drop 1). No HW. Test info right off of powerpoint for a semi-easy A. :-)

Very intersting! You'll want to go to class. Study the handouts...don't need the book, especially if you go to class.

Great professor EXTREMELY ORGANIZED, will answer any questions, very helpful take her she is very passionate about this subject. you will definatelly like her teaching style.

EASY. i never bought the book, went to class about 75% of the time and made sure to read over all the handouts she posted and got like a 95% in the class. grade is just quizzes(never surprise) and 3 tests...no final! take this class.

Great class, she was extremely helpful and organized. class was very interesting, but attendance is almost mandatory to get an A. one of the best professors at SDSU. GREAT CLASS!!!!!!

She is really a great professor. Her lectures are clear and she administers handouts that are extrememly helpful. You dont really need the textbook. I used once for the section on the eye. Thomas is truly passionate about her craft and that is always inspiring.

Very nice professor. No idea how she could put up with all the rude people in the class. Book isn't really needed. Just take notes during lecture and study her handouts to prepare for exams.

I Loved this class!! this professor makes the material very interesting, she always brings in videos and examples of each topic. The tests are not hard at all if you go to class and study the notes (but you have to go to class since she adds material to the notes that is not online). Overall it was one of my favorite classes and I learned alot!

Such a good class. Sure it can be a little dry sometimes and I felt drowsy. man, I just suck at staying awake in the geo room in the morning. But even though I dozed, I still enjoyed the biological views of it. We really do function through all our sensations. I think it is one mind. mono view! It's all a process to understand our own brains :)

such an awesome teacher! explains things very clearly! passionate about the subject! she gives handouts which are the study guides for quizzes and exams, study those and you will do fine on the tests! going to class really not that necessary just as long as you print and study her handouts!

She is a great professor! All her lectures were clear and she kept the students interested. I loved her video clips and examples she showed us. She also posts handouts on blackboard that are very helpful for the quizzes and tests. You don't need to purchase the book. I don't think I opened it once. An easy A. I highly recommend her.

This class was not my cup of tea. It is generally easy. I have a 3.63 GPA but this was one of my B classes. She really knows her information and communicates well. 99% of info for everything is on the handouts. make sure you go over them though. The videos are interesting, but this class is a little bio heavy.

Dr. Thomas is indeed passionate and very knowledgeable about the Biology of Psychology. You will learn a lot in this class! Her tests are a bit challenging but not impossible. Doesn't grade on a curve and doesn't offer extra credit, other than that, she's great.

This was a great class. If you're looking for an easy A this is not your thing. The class is challenging and she's very knowledgeable. The class was full of idiots who don't understand the material and made idiotic comments and asked stupid questions. But if you're ready to study and learn definitely take this class.

Never bought the book and got an easy B. Make sure to attend as many lectures as possible if you dont purchase the book. The handouts online are lifesavers! Exams and quizes are very similar and simple if you read the handouts!!!

Great teacher. She shows videos in class besides powerpoint lectures. Brings a lot of humor to the class. Her lectures are paced well. I never bought the book and got an A. She gives extra credit on each quiz and each exam. Pay attention and the class is easy.

Seriously my all time favorite teacher! She shows a lot of videos which helps and makes the class more interesting. She gives extra credit on all of the quizes and tests. Very easy if you study the handouts!!!

One of the best teachers I've had. Makes a hard class as easy as she can. study the handouts because it helps break everything down. no need for the book

Professor Thomas was great! The material is difficult, but she does a wonderful job of teaching it and making sure everyone has a good understanding of the subjects. Her tests are difficult, but manageable if you attend lectures and use her handouts.

Great professor. She is really helpful and responsive to your questions. The material is difficult but as long as you study the handouts and pay attention in class you'll be alright. Make sure to really go over the handouts though. They are extremely helpful.

Dr. Thomas is very passionate about biological psych. and that helps. She explains topics that are hard very well, quizzes are helpful leading up to tests. She puts handouts online that breakdown all the info VERY well. make sure to read those. great class, great teacher! She is def. knowledgeable in her field of psych. Tests mostlybased on lecture

Prof Thomas makes a hard, boring subject easy to understand and interesting. You do not need the book AT ALL, as long as you study her handouts or powerpoints she posts on BB a day or 2 b4 the exams/quizzes you will do fine! Class consists of 6 quizzes & 3 exams, she drops your lowest quiz. Study those handouts, ask TAs for help and you will definitely pass this class with a B or higher. Take her!

This class definitely requires quite a bit of studying. If you follow the reading schedule on the syllabus and study the handouts you will pass. The Handouts she posts on BB are VERY helpful and she gets practically all the test and quiz questions from there (if its in bold on the handout it WILL be on the test). STUDY! Don't procrastinate!

Great Professor. Class is mandatory, She shows videos and does activities, there will be questions about them on the quizes/tests. If you study the Study Guides on BB then you will be fine! 5 quizes she drops your lowest quiz grade and 3 Exams and the final. Takes your quiz composite grade worth 25% and three exams each 25% of grade

I love professor Thomas! She is so sweet and explains everything really clearly. The material is a bit difficult but she makes it interesting and clarifies any questions. There are 3 exams and 5 quizzes I believe and the lowest one gets dropped. Fun class, take her!

This was my favorite class, great professor and super straight forward. Going to class is highly recommended but I didn't use the book once and had a high A all semester. Tests and quizzes are based on lectures with a few points of extra credit. She puts powerpoints online but not the documentaries watched in class.

Interesting class. She knows her stuff & makes tough material a piece of cake. Go to class because she plays helpful videos that u will be tested on, & study her handouts! No book needed

one of the best teachers i have had in a long time. her lectures are really basic and she wraps everything up for you very nicely in her handouts which are golden. pay attention during lecture, use the handouts, and you will receive an A.

She is really funny and smart. Don't buy the book, just use her handouts. For one of the tests I just studied the handouts, barely went to class, and got an A on the exam.

Amazing professor!!!!! There are about 5 quizzes and 3 exams but if you go to class and take good notes you'll be fine. Her handouts are EXTREMELY helpful I reviewed them before quizzes and exams and I came out of the class with a 98%. I would highly recommend taking this course!

LOVE Dr. Thomas. Take her class! Super interesting course, very friendly and approachable and provides very helpful handouts (you only really need to study these for quizzes and exams). Just buy the online book. Not exactly an easy A, but an A is definitely doable. If you enjoy biology and psychology you will enjoy this class. Definitely recommend.

MISS FRIZZLE!! she was cool and funny, class is interesting. quizzes and tests are not stupid easy but theyre not hard,either. you DO have to study-READ THE HANDOUTS ON BB! memorize the handouts and it's impossible to fail. she tests you on "CENARIOS," not just vocab. theres always extracredit on tests and quizzes-book is only used for online ec.

Class isn't technically that hard, but there's a lot of info which can make the tests difficult. 3 exams & 5 quizzes with the lowest being dropped. Just make sure you study & know everything on the handouts & you'll do fine. I ended up with an A in the class.

Very interesting class! She can seem a little unapproachable but if she knows you want to learn she is pretty helpful. Although the online portion isn't mandatory you have a lot of extra credit opportunities from it. You don't need the book and she posts lectures and handouts online and that's all you really need for tests and quizzes.

Best teacher ever had. You learn a lot by listening to dr. Thomas. I know that her class will help me get through life a little easier. Even though the class was difficult for me I will keep trying to understand its importance in my future . I love dr Thomas and her devotion to the subject at hand.

Got to be one of the best professorslecturers I had so far in my 3 years at SDSU. This class is cake! 99% of her examquiz questions are from her clear and concise (funny) lectures. There is extra-credit "homework". Do well especially on her quizzes. Grade is based on % average of all your examquiz scores. Overall fun class - it's worth it!

Quizzes and tests are pretty much all stuff from her lectures. She uploads handouts on blackboard that pretty much sum up her lecture. Go over the lecture notes and the handouts and you should be fine. I read the book at the beginning but it isn't really necessary.

Amazing and very talented lecturer. She is super clear and makes the material even more interesting than the class already is! I cant say anything bad about this teacher and she is very knowledgable about her field. Lectures can seem long, however she records EVERY lecture and makes them available ASAP. Take this class if you enjoy Bio and psy.

Dr. Thomas is really a good professor who knows her stuff about physiological psychology. She really is passionate on what she does. Exams are from the lectures and handouts so study them!! Make sure you complete the online hw. 5 quizzes but lowest score is dropped. I learn a lot. Great professor! Take her! :)

Dr. Thomas is an intelligent professor and really loves what she does. Class consisted of 3 exams and 5 quizzes and which 1 is dropped, are a few hw assignments online. I learned a lot in this class. Exams are based on lectures and handouts only, so if you study those, you are gold.

Such an awesome professor. Material is not easy but she is very clear & helpful. Knows her stuff and is very passionate about what she is teaching. Lectures can feel long but study the handouts she posts and your set.

5 Quizzes with extra credit and you are able to drop your lowest quiz score. I got 100% of all the quizzes because they are pretty clear as long as you study all the material. Reading is optional. Focus more on the powerpoints! Exams are a little more difficult but if you put in effort, you can 100% get an A! Online lectures are available

It's my opinion that Dr. Thomas's lectures are really boring. She knows her stuff for sure, but I really found it hard to pay attention. Tests are kinda rough, especially if you skip class or doze off. Access code required, tons of online reading and homework. This class was okay. I didn't love the class, but I didn't drop it either.

I thought this class was so interesting and Professor Thomas was really passionate about the subject and it showed in her lectures. Going to class isn't mandatory accept for when she has quizzes. I just watched her lectures online and it was super helpful because you could pause and go back to things you didn't understand. Would recommend her!

So glad I took this class with her!! She explains things in a clear and understandable way. Hardest thing about her class were the exams (70 questions) worth 75% of your grade, but don't let that scare you! Do the readings and study the handouts that she gives, and you'll do fine! Wish I had known about the handouts before taking the first exam.

You either love or hate her. The 1st time I took this class I got an F because I was struggling and just gave up. BUT I chose to repeat this class with her because I liked her straight forward class and straight forward lectures/PPTs. Yes its hard material and you need to put in the work, but study/memorize the handouts/txtbk and you'll get an A.

Get ready to work! Although she provides a lot of material in lecture that you need to know, it is pretty interesting most of the time. Her lectures are very well organized and she has in class recordings of them so I would recommend watching them after class to fill in any gaps in your notes. Also, go to class because she uses course key.

Dr. Thomas is a really caring professor. My advice is to meet with her during office hours, as she will really make sure that you will understand the information. The information itself is fairly difficult, but Dr. Thomas wants to make sure that everybody understands it, which is why she is big on having us explain the information out loud.

Professor Thomas is very intelligent and the material is interesting. Lectures are recorded but sometimes she doesn't post them so try to go to class. Your grade is mostly based on exams - they are heavily lecture-based, you have to study really hard to do well but if you work hard you can succeed. Be ready to work but good class overall.

Professor Thomas is easily one of the best professors at SDSU. Her lectures are amazing. Lots of content- make sure you're ready to put in the effort. Although this class was challenging, I would 100% recommend this class. She is so smart, gives us resources to learn the material, and explains thoroughly while giving time to take notes.

She's an amazing lecturer which makes studying for the quizzes and exams easier. She provides study sheets on every chapter that are SO helpful. Barely any homework at all. This class is by far my most favorite class I have taken. Tests are pretty much entirely based on lectures so go to class and take good notes. Take her!

This class was very test heavy, and I would recommend to study a week before the exam. A lot of the questions on the exams and quizzes are on the lectures so make sure you attend them. She also records her lectures in case you can't make it to class, and drops a quiz. Although this class was a bit difficult, I would take Prof. Thomas again.

Loved Professor Thomas. She made class more interesting with all the videos she showed us. She answers emails pretty quick. She also drops 1 out of 5 quizzes so make sure you take all of them in case you have an emergency. She gives hand outs prior to quizzes/ exams, and I highly recommend you go over those because they help A LOT!!!

You can tell professor Thomas is very knowledgable on the topics she teaches in class. Lectures are recorded so attendance is not mandatory besides quiz and test days. Lectures are very interesting. Grade is based off 5 quizzes and 3 tests. Make sure to really study for this as they carry most of your grade besides some homework.

She really knows what shes talking about and she crams a ton of information into not a lot of time. She's good at explaining but you definitely need to go to class and you need to study to do good in this class.

One of the more passionate professors I've come across, super engaging, and made it worth it to attend class. Would love to take her again as the way she teaches is super coherent, engaging, and she'll explain something again if someone indicates they don't understand it. Tends to run until the end of class but not over.

Thomas is by far the best teacher I have had at SDSU. The subject itself is somewhat challenging, but she projects the information in ways that are easy to understand for any student. Her lectures are structured neatly and she's clearly very informed on the subject. She also records all her lectures, so physical attendance is only needed for exams.

Difficult but very interesting class, I learned a lot. Great lectures and often engaged students. True fashionista. Provided amazing study sheets before tests, but they were still definitely difficult.
