Gina Thomas

I LOVE Professor Thomas. She is the full package, a great lecturer, understanding person, and fairly easy grader. I appreciated the in class discussions on the book we read, Far From the Tree. At times, I wish we had been able to spend more time on discussion, but I nonetheless loved the class and would absolutely take it again if given the chance! I hope to have her in a future semester, and any student would be lucky to have her. This course did require a community engagement project that involved 5 hours of volunteering per week in addition to class, which was not a problem for me during the particular semester that I took it, but I could see this being hard for me during a different semester, so it is something to keep in mind. That said, I loved being involved with our community partners and appreciated the opportunity to see the real-life applications for things we were learning in class.
