Such a hard class, but you learn a lot. She's a very intelliegent professor and if you go to lecture and really pay attention you will do fine on the exam.

This class is so hard! Especially if you haven't had a non-higschool bio course. My best advice is do not get behind, and answer the objective questions as you go through the quarter. You can not pull an all nighter on this!

Hard class, but she makes it harder. I liked her, though the curve sucks.

wow...the class is hard as hell and there's sooo much to remember and it all sounds the same. but she's a good teacher, really knows what she's talking about, and I loved her humour. midterm = 40% of grade, final = 60% but dont worry it's curved (cuz everyone does horribly)

awesome class, gotta do ALL the work, REALLY hard tests, often has typos in her lecture slides, so refer to text for appropriate spellings. Great personalities and jokes.

This class is definately one of the hardest classes I have taken so far here. If you are interested in psych it should be pretty interesting, but the material is very hard to remember if you are not naturally good at science. Make flash cards and memorize all the objectives and you will be just fine. I am horrible at science and I am doing fine

this was a great class. the tests were very tough but she prepares you for them. you need to put in your time sudying and talk to the t.a. but a good class.

Szumlinski was a great professor. She was entertaining and really tried to get the point across. However, the content is amazingly difficult. Study hard for the difficult tests!

Amazing teacher, amazing person. Overall just an awesome class. Yes it is very difficult but DONT read instead really learn her lectures and understand everything she talks about in lecture. I did exactly that and got an A.

Hard class if you dont do the readings or show up for lecture. She can get pissed easy if she feels that students arent interested in her lecture. Funny lady and awesome lecturer, however the tests were difficult.

i really liked this class, it was definetly hard but if you keep up with the readings and go to all the lectures you'll do fine. she was a great teacher, makes it really clear what you have to know for the tests.

Great lecture notes posted online. She is really clear and easy to follow. Her tests are a little tricky, but the curve saves you.. Great prof!

Was a biopsych major before taking this class...turned me off completely. Not what I expected biopsych to be. The amount of material was considerable and you need to know a lot of detail. Great lecture notes though. I did not do any of the reading, and still got a B.

Dr. K's the most down to Earth Professor on campus. She made me feel like her colleague. Her teaching style let me see things on a basic level without intellectual jargon.

Dr. K had an awesome personality and she made the class as fun as possible. Her tests were hard, but does that on purpose to lower the curve so more people get the grades they deserve:)

She was so nice and helpful especially when I went to her office hours. People say the last test was hard, but it really showed whether or not you understood the material, not that you just "studied" or memorized every lecture. This way, students really had to pay attention and think about how the information in relative to everyday life.

Her class was so much fun! She made the lectures VERY understandable and very interesting. The tests were fair if you came to lecture and read. As long as you do the work and keep up with lectures, it is an easy A.
