Winter 2024 - I took this course in Winter24 and I really enjoyed Professor Rith-Najarian's teaching style. She was always engaging and encouraging to students and wanted all of us to understand and properly learn the material. Participation is definitely important for your grade but there are plenty of opportunities to engage and share ideas with the Professor and other peers. I went to her office hours several times and she provided guidance with the homework and also professional advice for grad school which was really helpful for me. The homework worksheets are helpful for the research process and I liked that her process was different than other research processes I have studied before. Grades for these worksheets are very important and the final was open note with a study guide. Overall, I would take another class with her and I really liked how she made a class about research engaging yet informative at the same time.

Spring 2024 - This quarter presented significant challenges for both professors and students, with unexpected class cancellations during midterms week adding considerable stress to everyone involved. Despite the frustrations many students felt with the necessary course restructuring, I believe the professor made every effort to be as fair as possible in revising the syllabus. The final exam and the extra credit assignments were well-balanced and fair, making them manageable for anyone who kept up with lectures and readings. I’m known among my friends for skipping classes in favor of watching recordings, so I was skeptical about attending an 8 AM class during the final quarter of my senior year. However, I found myself genuinely excited to wake up and attend this lecture each week. The professor's lectures were consistently engaging and delivered with kindness and a clear passion for the subject. Her commitment to inclusivity was evident, as she ensured that our discussions and understanding encompassed diverse and marginalized communities. I had been eagerly anticipating this course for a long time, and I am incredibly grateful to have taken it with this professor. While the guest lecturers were outstanding, I found her regular lectures just as captivating—if not more so. I would highly reccomend taking Psych 127A with her!
