Gina Thomas

Professor Thomas is an excellent teacher. She definitely knows what she is talking about and she did a good job of making lectures interesting and engaging. The exams were tough but very doable with studying.

Child Development with Professor Thomas is an interesting class. She is a kind professor and is passionate about what she is teaching. There are weekly quizzes that cover content from both reading and lecture. However, there are not that many questions on each quiz so if you get two or three wrong it impacts your quiz average. However, she drops the lowest quiz grade and there are also a lot of other opportunities to do well in the class. So, if your quiz average isn't grade, it is still possible to get a good grade. There are writing assignments, discussion comments, and a community project we work on for the whole semester. Most of the community projects involve working with kids; however, there is one asynchronous option if the scheduling doesn't work or you don't feel comfortable working with kids. Most people volunteer 3-5 hours a week outside of class working on their community project. Overall, I would say the class is pretty average in terms of the workload. It is not too difficult, but it is also not super easy. It is pretty fair and you will do well as long as you are willing to put in the work.

This course was quite easy, we had a few reading quizzes that were closed note but no other exams. We had a few papers but most of the work was centered around a group project that was combined with a community partner related to child development.
