She is an awesome teacher ! recommended =)
Very good teacher.You can tell she loves what she does.Very helpful.Easy class..This teacher is highly recommended
she made pschology so easy and fun to learn. i would reomend her to anybody, and already have!
She is wonderful and easy. She gives you all the info on the test and still allows you to use notes. This professor is an easy "A". Plus she loves what she teaches and is very knowledgable.
This teacher is awesome, knowledgable, and easy. This is an easy A. Barely any homework, and tests are easy as hell. If you are taking Psych, take this teacher.
She goes through the material too fast. I learned some things, but really learned how to take her tests and not learn the material. I only studied for a couple of tests and ended up with 89 in her class with a final B for a grade.
A lot of notes!!! But well worth it, because you can us them on the test.
This class was so easy. She is a great professor. Test are extremely easy and you get to use your notes for some portions. If you don't get an A++ in this class something is wrong.
best teacher ever.
It's an easy A she lets you use notes your books and worksheets from the chapter on each exam. Extra credit only one paragraph w/article due on exam day
Really great Teacher! Lots of notes but she gives you the test quetions before hand. She keeps the material really interesting. She inspired me to change my major.
Best teacher i have ever had i even tried to rework my schedule so i could take her class at the next level as long as you write all the notes then you will be fine the class is fin and you get to use your notes on all the tests!
Awesome professor! She loves what she does and it shows. If you go to class, pay attention, and take notes, you should do well. She made a very boring book interesting!
She is an excellent teacher and knows what she is talking about from experience. She makes this class very interesting and easy. She gives extra credit every week (it only takes 30 min. to do), extra credit if you don't miss class during the term and lets you use your notes and the book during the last 10 min. of the weekly quiz. It is difficult
She was a great teacher. Very easy to understand! i highly recommend her! Almost everyone in her class gets an A, if not it's a B!
She was a GREAT professor, really nice and easy.
Professor Tomasso is an excellent professor. I took her class in Summer A at 8:00 a.m. (really early for me)!She made the class very interesting and fun. The test are open book and the projects are Easy. We had to make up a board game for our Exam. Take Her Pleasseeee! She's Off Da Chain!
Is very nice and helpful
No Comments
Excellent in every way! You do have to take a lot of notes which are mostly copying what she writes on the board. This seems to be a good way of remembering the info. Many rate her easy, but I think that is mostly because she teaches so well. Also, very charming and interesting person.
Very soft spoken, but to the point.
Very good teacher...good notes and helps u pass the class...don't have to take final if u have an A...she rocks...her exams are straight forward. no tricky questions or suprise questions...if u want as A in psychology then u have to take her:)
great teacher! keeps you alert and she is very clear in her lecturing. take notes and follow along and youll do great! i was only taking this course b/c of requirements but i turned out to love the subject! take her if you want not only a good grade but a teacher who will TEACH you!
Great teacher! You takes notes that she puts on the board, and then she tests you on your notes only. You can use notes last 15 min on test. Very interesting class!!!!
Good teacher! You have to take notes off the board and study them, also you can do extra credit to help make it. ENJOYED HER CLASS.
She makes it fun, interesting & EASY! This is a very light class, it hardly takes effort. The notes you take in class are all you need for the tests (which are very easy), it only takes about 1/2hr to study to earn a 100+. This class was very enjoyable! She is very down to earth, & funny. She's always happy/in a good mood. I highly recommend her!
The best pro. ever. class is very interesting and never dull. tests are pretty easy. gives lots of extra credit. i highly recommend
If you ever consider taking General Psychology, take Tomasso. Best teacher hands down.
She is such a nice person, which makes the class all that more interesting and easy to go to. Take all notes, study them and you will receive an A! Also do the extra credit, its fun and easy and helps you out. Nicest professor on campus!
The best teacher i've had in MCC. Alot of notes but she adds a great sense of humor into almost every lecture. In addition, she gives out loads of extra credit. If you don`t get an A in her class, its because you not trying. Its a teacher i recommend everyone to take.
Mrs. T is great.Her test are easy, never tricky. Last 15mins of test time, she allows you to use notes and books. Loads of notes but crystal clear. If you dont get an A in her class, its your own fault.
Mrs. T inspires one to be a better person, Creates a possitive atmosphere and doesn't dwell on the negative. She is fun and informative. It is amazing how much you learn without even realizing it. Most of the class recieves an "A" and she has very inovative (group) term projects. KIND, KIND,KIND & VERY COMICAL!!!!
Honestly, one of the best teachers I've ever had. My first semester at college, had to sit in an auditorium style classroom, and I enjoyed every single day with her. Fantastic teacher, take her if you want enthusiasm and developmental pscyologist knowhow
Definetely one of the best teachers I've had so far. You can't screw this class up if you show up everyday and spend about 30 minutes studying the homework before the tests. She offers LOADS of ex. credit for every test, about 20% of your test grade can be ex. credit. Get an A and skip the Final. Extremely interesting whether you like PSY or not.
Take notes, show up to class, and study. The tests are easy and you can use your notes during the last 15 minutes of the test. It's a fun and exciting class! She's a great teacher! The final is a fun project, so this class is hard to fail. There's plenty of extra credit, too.
Really good class. Great teacher. Easy tests. Always extra credit which helps a lot. Easy A if you show up.
I loved Mrs. Tomasso. She gives lots of notes, and has a very animated teaching style. I just wish she taught more classes. Definitely take her if you can!
This is my favorite class. Tomasso is very helpful and classes are interesting. Gives you EASY extra credit for each test and lets you use notes and book for 15 mins on tests. If you have perfect attendance she will drop your lowest test grade and if you have an A in the class you don't have to take the final. Awesome!
best teacher ever, notes are crystal clear, very helpful, easy extra credit best of the best in her field definitely take her if you dont pass its because you didnt put in any effort
Mrs.Tomasso is the best professor ever! Easy extra credit, get to use notes last 15 minutes of the test. One of the nicest teacher ive ever had. HIGHLY RECOMENDED!
Ms.Tomasso is the best in the world... lots of notes but very interesting lecture... would recommend 2 anyone!!!
Nice lady, can be funny and sometimes she's animated...but TONS I mean TONS of notes, you can use them on the last 15 minutes of your exams....if you get a A in her class, no final...The Jumpstarts (homework that counts as a combined quiz grade) are a nightmare, very tricky! I recommend her though, some of the material is interesting
VERY GOOD INSTRUCTOR! SHE SEEMS A LIL COOKY BUT MEANS WELL. TONSSSS OF NOTES THOUGH SO BE READY TO WRITE TILL YOUR HAND FALLS OFF! BUT IF YOU GET ALL A'S ON EXAMS THEN NO FINAL! OVERALL I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER!
Ecellent teacher,take her class you will love it.
Excellent teacher
Good Teacher.
Took her class online. Expectations were made very clear and overall the class is really organized. She seemed really nice and always responded promptly. I have always heard raving reviews about how great she is, and I'm going to have to say that I agree and would highly recommend her.
I had to drop out of this class due to personal reasons but when I get back to school I'm taking it again. This teacher is amazing. She is so sweet and understanding. Her tests are a little hard but just take all the notes and study. I enjoyed this class and can't wait to take it again with her!
Ms. Tomasso is kind, good hearted, fair, and entertaining. She treats you as an equal and wants you to get an "A". She offers many opportunities to get extra credit. I had DEP2004 in 6 wk. summer, exam on Angel every week, true/false assignments due every week, and a final project that was kinda tough...show up, take notes, do the work= A...
I took Professor Tomasso for DEP2004 and PSY2012 and she is the BEST teacher I've ever had. She makes her classes REALLY interesting, has a passion for teaching and a passion for what she teaches. She works with you if you need it and if you do the work and study a little bit it's an easy "A."
Wow! Mrs. Tomasso is was an amazing professor. She has a great sense of humor, and she really tries to make lecture interesting. She is very flexible and helpful with many opportunities for extra credit. I definitely recommend her.
She is an amazing teacher! She makes it so easy I believe she could successfully teach my 9yr. old. the same stuff.
This course was fun. She made it very interesting!! The tests are note bound and pretty easy if you study. She relates everything to real life situations. Great lady!
She really loves her job and makes the class so interesting. She has a great personality, and does not make the class ridiculously hard. She's one of two professors I recommend to people(and J. Paul). If you're taking a psych class, you gotta take her.
LOVE HER!!!!! If u get an A, which if u dont than ur an IDIOT, u dont have to take a final exam! LOTS of USEFUL notes! Notes are very useful for tests! She is very funny and makes jokes and talks about real life situations for a better understanding of lectures.. RECOMMEND HER TO ANYONE!! SHE IS GREAT!
BEST PROFESSOR IN THE PSY DEPARTMENT. the whole class you she writes verbatim what you need to write down. those notes are used on the test. you get "jump starts", about 15 T or F questions based on reading the chapter as part of your grade. the first couple of tests are no notes. than after them you get to do the tests on angel.
AWESOME PROF! If you do not get an A in this class then you are an idiot and do not need to be in college! She gives very interesting lectures and the notes are almost word for word what is on the test. Hardly any homework and tests are all online which is fabulous! She is also very lax when it comes to class time which is nice at 8am.
SHE IS A WONDERFUL TEACHER!!! BEST ONE I EVER HAD.. VERY HELPFUL AND EASY!!
GREAT PROFESSOR!! gives great lectures and talks about everyday situations if you just pay attention and take not you get an A. if you get an A dont have to take the final
awesome teacher makes you interested in the course. super easy, all tests are online and open notes. Highly reccomend her, shes so sweet and caring!
BEST teacher ever! I highly reccomend this class. Show up to class, take notes, and you will do perfectly fine!
Great Teacher!! Very fun and helpful. Easy A.
I loved this teacher! She was very nice and if I missed a test she would let me re-take it w/o taking points off.
Dr. Tomasso is such a great teacher. She keeps the class entertaining and actually makes the material fun to listen to. Everything she writes on the bored will be on the tests. She gives tons of extra credit and there is homework but its easy to do in class with the lecture. I recomend this professor!!!!!!
Great teacher, everything on board write down exactly, though she may throw a curveball and have a few questions out of book. Explains everything well.
Professor Tomasso is an excellent choice for taking Human Development. I enjoyed her lectures, and she was very fair. Tests & Jumpstarts are done online (Angel), and the answers come straight from her notes unless she tells you to read something extra from the book. Also, she likes to give extra credit throughout the semester. I highly rec. her!
Easy A! If you take note you will pass her class with flying colors. You have to go to class everyday. The note taking is a must. Test were done online with an hour time limit and where straight from the notes and you have to pay attention to the stories and examples in class but overall a really easy class! You learn a lot.
The absolute best professor on SCF campus. She actually gives a hoot about her students and earnestly wants to see them PASS/SUCCEED! DEP is interesting and fun with her!
Super helpful, class is easy if you do the work you will get an A, and you might even learn a few things
One thing I can say is that she is fun to learn from. Most of the class is lecture. Lots of notes! Book goes nicely with her lectures. Sometimes she brings in her dog that she's training. Mrs. Tomasso is very down to Earth. If you show up to class and take notes, your exams will be a breeze. I use information from her class in daily life. Thanks!
She is an awesome teacher. As long as you show up for all the classes and take notes you will get an easy A. This class is super fun and she is very excited to teach it. I am taking her again this semester for human development. By far the best teacher ive taken so far at SCF.
Amazing teacher that makes everything incredibly interesting. I love how she writes on the board, instead of Power Point. It makes you much more engaged in the lecture. She's incredibly passionate, and an amazing person as a whole. Her kids are lucky to have such a cool mom.
Took her for Human Development. Great teacher. She was very helpful and even allows you to skip the final if you have an "A" average at the time of the final. Show up and take notes and you will pass with an "A". She is also a smokin hottie. Truly enjoyed her class.
This class is the best I have taken at SCF. If you are planning on getting any kind of Social Science degree you should take this teacher! Yes you have to write a lot of notes but you will learn a whole lot!
Was the best teacher I ever had. Was so helpfull and am considering changing my major. I highly recomend taking this class with Tomasso. She really wants you to learn.
Very interesting, engaging and fun. Simply put, take her. Makes it possible for everyone to pass with an A (extended due dates, extra credit). She says you need the $200+ book, but I went all semester w/o it. She gives you 1 or 2 topics per section to study in the book, but since all tests are online, I just researched the topic online. TAKE HER!
COPY HER NOTES WORD FOR WORD (seriously) and you will have every answer for the online tests and online assignments and you will pass with an A+
BEST TEACHER EVER!! Copy her Notes WORD FOR WORD, and you will pass with an A no problem, Shes extremely interesting and really sweet. Makes class Fun and I enjoyed every minute. I took her accelerated course and No Final if you have an A. If you can TAKE HER!! If not, then wait until you can :)
Without a doubt Tomasso is an outstanding teacher, I loved her and her lectures! She gets into character when she's explaining the lecture & sometimes I feel like I don't even need to take notes because of how she explains everything. She's by far one of the best teachers SCF has to offer. If you don't take her then you are definitely missing out!!
Easy A if you study her notes. Sometimes the book is needed for concepts she doesn't cover in class, however she will point them out. She gives a lot of oportunities to raise you grade. Very sweet and fair grader. Interesting class! I would take her again...
LOVED THIS TEACHER! copy notes and its the easiest A. she is very clear and you learn a lot. she is funny and does things to help you remember them. LOVED HER! and she is defiantly smokin hott too lol
friggin awesome teacher!!! super nice and helpful. keeps you interested in the subject. you should definitely take her.
Great professor. Interesting and engaging. If you don't get an A with her you didn't try. Gives every student the opportunity to not take the final exam. Took both her accelerated gen psych and human development classes and didn't take either final and did only 1 or 2 extra credit assignments.
Awesome Teacher! Had her for Psychology and Human Dev. She makes class interesting. If you copy her notes word for word, its very easy to get an "A". Lots of opportunity for extra credit.
This professor is so sweet and nice. She explains everything clearly and all the notes you take will be on the test. She is very helpful and can help you with assignments. Awesome Teacher
She is an excellent teacher, she explains everything clearly and makes it interesting. She's also very helpful. You cant fail if you come to class and take good notes.
Most enjoyable/ interesting class so far. She made coming to class something to look forward to. Make sure to read all of the chapters, exams are all online. She provides many opportunity's for extra credit. If you have the option you should definitely take her. You won't be disappointed. :)
Awesome teacher, wish I took her for my other college class Psychology. She makes all the content interesting, shes very animated and fun to listen to. Do your assigned work, take every notes she puts on the board and do well on your exams. Great class gives you knowledge and skill you will use outside of class dealing with people.
I love this teacher! Take her! Tests are online and if you write EXACTLY what she puts on the board, you will get an A on the tests. I do recommend using a laptop to take notes because there are a lot of them and it's easier to sort through for the test.
By far the best teacher I have had at SCF. She makes the class interesting and makes you want to learn. I had her for Psychology and took this class just because she taught it. Even though you have to take alot of notes, she makes the lectures fun. I used my netbook to take notes, which makes it ALOT easier.
Great professor, clear on what assignments you need to do. Most of work is online, and you can use notes, textbook, anything for tests. Extra Credit offered every week. If you do the work, and do it well, you will get an A. Makes learning about psychology fun and easy!
She is an incredible teacher. She makes what your learning enjoyable. As long as you take notes in class your guaranteed to pass. She is my favorite professor by far on campus. I strongly recommend taking her!
She is by far the best professor in the department. She is kind, caring, competent, and you will learn a great deal. Take notes, there are a lot of them, and there are quite a few assignments, none of which are too difficult. She gives extra credit as well, there is no reason not to get an A other than laziness.
Awesome professor. She is kind, caring, competent, and you will learn a great deal. Take notes, there are a lot of them. But you can use these for the tests which are super easy. She gives extra credit as well, there is no reason not to get an A other than laziness.
She is the best teacher at SCF. Period. I plan on taking every one of her classes now.
AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!!!! There are no other words that can describe her. Best teacher at SCF, no doubt!
Highly recommended this Professor. She is a Phenomenal teacher and does make you work hard but you will learn a lot about the behaviorist and their theories. She offers extra credit 6 X extra credit opportunities=30 points that count towards you exam grade.I thoroughly enjoyed her class and plan on taking her next class Human Development.
I loved this class and teacher. She was amazing and made class very interesting and fun. ALOT of reading! Take good notes because you can use them on the test. I recommend her to anyone. I wish I could take more of her classes.
Great Professor!! Knows her material and can tell that she enjoys it very much. Is enthusiastic in class and keeps you interested. If you have trouble at all with tests, there is extra credit that will help boost your grade.
Wonderful teacher! Definitely passionate about the subject. She's funny too.
This was one of the first online courses I really learned a lot in. Her brilliance and course preparation really shows in the way the course is presented. I also had Professor Tomasso in the classroom for PSY 2012 and was amazed...she brings the material in her courses to life. A must take for any potential Psych majors. Wish she taught at USF!!
Great instructor. Very quick with responding to emails and grading. If you're taking this as a 5-week course, prepare to spend some serious time reading and doing assignments because it does get quite intense. No reason you can't get an A if you put in the time.
Super helpful and willing to work with you! A lot of assignments, but that's expected in a 5-week summer course. Wish I could take her for more courses!
Mrs. Tomasso is one of the BEST teachers at SCF. I absolutely loved coming to her class. She is very passionate about what she is teaching, and it really shows. She is kind and compassionate.. I would absolutely recommend her! Everything is open book and open notes. If you get an A in the class, you don't have to take the Final.
very sweet lady, she knows her subject very well. lectures take up most of class, but she makes them fun and interesting. you have homework but not hard, all answers are directly in your notes or directly from the book & you have a week to do it. I wish she taught more subjects. Easy to get an A in the class if you take notes.
She time and time again said to use outside resources, but then took points off when I did. She said to act like your reader didn't know anything about what you were talking about, so I "dumbed it down" a little, then was reprimanded for not using the theorist's exact terminology. No clarity with what she wants from you. Will nickel and dime points
Amazing teacher, if you take her full semester you barely crack open the text, mainly for homework. If you show up to the lectures and do all the assignments it is hard to fail. She gives plenty of extra credit, and great information, I learned so much! She is by far one of my favorite teachers at SCF and would take her again in a heart beat.
This was an 8 week blended class. We met 3 times (including initial class) everything else was online. She puts out a majority of the work on day one, so if you have the time you can work ahead. I enjoyed her lectures. She really knows the material and is very inspirational. I highly recommend.
Prof. Tomasso is one of my favs! Her lectures are great and usually let out early (lots of note taking). Gives extra credit for each section covered. Tests are open book (but beware, there are some trick questions). I recommend her to anyone interested or who has to take this course.
Mrs. Tomasso is an incredibly inspirational teacher and person. She is very experienced and knowledgeable in her field, and is open to any and all questions. With outstanding feedback, she has an ability to reach out to her students both cognitively and on a human level. Would also take for Development, as this is her specialty.
I would take her class again. She wants you to pass and does not set you up to fail
Ms. Tomasso is an amazing teacher and truly passionate about Psychology. She is willing to help if you have any issues and details exactly what you are looking for. She even gives you an opportunity to fix your assignments using her feedback to raise your grade. There is no reason save laziness to fail this course.
FANTASTIC teacher, loves what she does and it shows. She keeps it interesting and funny. Your hand will get tired from all the writing but that is what you need to pass the tests. Easy A and great learning experience!!
Hilarious, kind, accepting, and a warm person. One of the very best professors ive ever had, taking her again next semester. She is all I EVER recommend for Pyschology, I feel so blessed to be able to have heard her lectures and experienced them.
This woman is a hidden GEM! She is so knowledgeable. All of her classes are very informational and interesting. You MUST take her, easy A if you obviously attend class and do the work. She is the nicest person and truly cares for her students! If the world had more teachers like her then it would be a better place and more students would succeed.
Prof. Tomasso is AMAZING! She is knowledgeable and can answer all questions. She makes lectures fun but also very informative. You'll take lots of notes. She gives you all the info you will need to know you just have to do your end. She is spectacular at what she does and all i have to say is take PSY2012 with Prof. Tomasso, you'll never regret it!
I am so sad that I will not have Professor Tomasso as my teacher. She is so amazing. I took her psych and human development classes. I did human development in 8 weeks online. Its ALOT of work- But if you do the work you'll receive an A. Also in the 8 week course there is no exam. She is funny and I will never forget her stories. love her!!!
Mrs. Tomasso is an amazing instructor. Each class is to the point, you usually get out earlier than planned, and she's responsive to any concerns you may have either during or following class. Participation matters, but not to the extent where you have to step out of your comfort zone if thats an issue. Take notes, and it's an easy A.
Professor Tomasso is amazing. She is well respected and inspirational. She wants everyone to succeed.
Amazing prof. Super fun and kept us awake even though it was late. A decent amount of hw but not difficult. Tests are taken at home. LOTS of extra credit. Get an A and you dont have to take the final. Super sweet and caring. Textbook stuff is required to pass tests, true/false questions, easy multiple choice quizzes. Be sure you can be in class.
A decent amount of homework, mostly busy work. Assignments are broken up by the week. About 4-5 assignments per week. A single online exam at the end that is based solely on in-class lectures (ez). The class is very easy and she even acknowledges it. Lectures are all about babies and development (her background). Tomasso is super nice too.
Took the 8 week accelerated online course. As long as you read the required chapters each week, the assignments are a breeze. If you don't get a good grade she will give feedback and let you resubmit. There were 3 mandatory lectures but her passion for teaching showed and they were so much fun. I can't wait to have her for DEP2004!
If she could teach every class I would take them all, you can tell shes passionate about her job, she explains everything well. Her lectures are long and its a lot of note taking but they are so helpful. She covers everything you need to know which makes the final easy *some classes the final is optional*
Shes a great teacher. Shes caring, laid-back, and extremely passionate about her subject. Very easy to reach outside of class, always answers as fast as possible to questions and concerns. Took her class for my first semester of psychology, and will definitely take a class with her again.
Professor Tomasso was clear about what was expected, very responsive, fair and easy going!
