She lectures well, however the exams are pretty tricky even after studying a lot. I would always feel like I did horrible or ok since answer choices were like A, B, A and B, or neither. Luckily I did ok. Tests are definitely scenario application-based.

I wish the slides were more coherent. I do appreacaite that Dr.Smurda gives extra credit. You really should focus on understanding the studies and theories and what they mean.

It was a great class! I got a B because I was very bad about attending section, I also didn't do that great on the midterm. I did pretty good on the final, but that's because I learned my lesson. To do well you need to go to the lectures and take good notes to ensure understanding of content. Smurda records her lectures which is very helpful, not to mention she is very passionate about what she teaches and is funny so taking her class was a highly enjoyable experience.

Easy and enjoyable class. The way to get an A is to just show up and pay attention. If you take good notes, it shouldn't be hard at all to do well. I got a 98 on the midterm and a 92 on the final with minimal preparation. Professor Smurda is also really funny and I enjoyed her lectures. Anyone looking to do 135 should consider taking from her when she's teaching!

You really need to do well on the exams because they're worth 80% of your grade. The questions are confusing and each option sounds the same. I would recommend avoiding this class if you can and taking it with a different professor!

The class itself was pretty interesting! The midterm was oddly specific, so make sure to study pretty much anything on her slides; it was also on respondus in-class. Her lectures are podcasted but if you do the poll everywhere you get extra credit for attendance.
