Cosmides was a very hard professor to understand. It was obvious that she was very knowledgable in the subject of cogn. development but she did not present the material well. Prof. Cosmides is not available outside of class and never answers emails. Her grading is very confusing and she does not let you know what get on the final.

During Leda's teaching, she yelled at her door that 'what is your background?' 'what is your background?' 'what is your background?' 'Know now.' 'Same level?' Don't know why suddenly introducing this content in the lecture and its origin. Professor's special psychological need can't be easily guessed at will.

Alright, professor Cosmides is very HARD to follow, she is a terrible lecturer. She is taking 5 minutes to explain a concept that can be explain much faster with less details and more being concise. She seems sometimes confused of what she is explaining. Basically she has NO structure in her lecture. DO NOT RECOMMEND TO TAKE HER CLASS.

Professor Cosmides gave really interesting lectures! She is really knowledgeable and patient. Reading load is very heavy, but everything on final would be on the ppt and lectures, so I didn't finished reading any of the assigned readings. The total grade relies entirely on the final, but fairly easy at least you studied!

Im surprised with all the negative ratings. Yes, Cosmides does go off topic sometimes but she is a great lecturer. Final is worth 100% of your grade but if you go to lecture and actually listen, youll get an A. The questions on the final were obvious if you listen in class. You dont even have to do the readings.

Professor Cosmides is absolutely brilliant but is an appallingly bad speaker. Luckily her TA is equally intelligent and capable of effective communication - take this class for the interesting content and go to TA's office hours!
