Cosmides has a great understanding of what she's teaching, but she does a very poor job at clearly conveying that during lecture. The grading is confusing as there is a midterm and final, but the grade is determined by the final. Her lecture slides are very confusing so if you miss class, good luck. Worst professor in the Psych department by far!

Shes a really, REALLY, intelligent lady but not a very good professor. Her lecture styles are 3hrs once a week which I'm normally okay with but not with her... something about the way she lectures, I couldnt pay attention for the life of me. Midterm wasnt worth anything then our final grade was 100% of our grade, ended up getting a B.

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!
