Fall 2018 - TAKE THIS CLASS!!! Prof. Tomiyama is adorable, smart, and super generous when it comes to grades. She basically does everything to ensure you get an A. The tests were super easy and there was no homework (besides some really interesting readings). Also, she doesn't make you buy a textbook and the lecture slides are very informational. Not only will you most likely get an A, the material is really cool! Every lecture was engaging. We learned about pain, the placebo effect, stress, mindfulness, etc. I would absolutely recommend this class to anyone.

Winter 2021 - One of the BEST labs ever taught by Dr. T. The class was set up in a way where the TA and professor wanted you to succeed and most of the assignments were graded on completion rather than correctness. Dr. T was also very generous with allowing groups to do work during class time which significantly reduced the number of times that we had to meet outside of class. For the final paper, as long as you answered everything on the rubric, you're pretty much set. Really enjoyed this lab and Dr. T & Kristen were the most helpful when we needed help. TAKE THIS LAB GUYS!!!
