I really like the subject! Professor Smurda is a great lecturer. Her lectures are engaging, and she makes the lectures fun by adding questions that the students answer into her lectures. This is one of my favorite classes.

Love Professor Smurda. She is highly committed to student learning and would stay long after class to help out.

As a psych major, this has been my favorite psych class I've taken so far. I loved how engaging the lectures were. I always looked forward to each lecture and loved being able to apply the concepts in class to my life. Professor Smurda is funny and her lectures have plenty of examples and engage the class. She's very approachable and has a wealth of knowledge. I found the readings interesting and didn't really see it as too much work. The tests were multiple choice and not that difficult. 100% recommend this class.

Psych 135 with Professor Smurda was very engaging and she makes her expectations clear from the beginning. The material is straightforward and may seem simplistic, but the terms can get confusing so it's better not to underestimate the tests and make sure to study!

Dr. Smurda is a wonderful lecturer and person. In this class, your grade will be based on 4 primary things: (1) midterm (2) paper (3) final (4) weekly quizzes. She provides ample extra credit to bolster your grade. This quarter, she was also incredibly lenient with the quizzes and actually dropped your lowest 2 grades. She's a very warm and welcoming professor, and you can tell she likes interacting with her students. If not for the material, take this class for her!
