    Grade: A+

    She gave 3 tests and dropped the lowest one. The tests were online and open note. Even if you didn't take any notes and just used the powerpoint you could still pass. We only had 4 assignments due throughout the whole quarter. She was very good at explaining the concepts and took the time to answer other's questions. She was very passionate about what she was teaching. I learned so much and actual found something that I want to do research in.

    The professor really made the class, but it doesn’t hurt that it was also an easy A. Cant recommend this class enough.

    Sumner is a wonderful professor. I was completely blown away by how not only knowledgeable but articulate and well-spoken she is. It's like she's prepared an answer for every possible question she might be asked during lecture. I was completely engaged every class. She teaches the subject in an extremely palatable and easy to understand style and I'm so grateful that I got to be in this class.

    This class was very interesting. Covered a large variety of topics in the field of health psychology. Lectures were not recorded and tested material was very heavily based on lectures, so I would definitely recommend attending.
