I loved Professor Sumner! She was very accommodating given the circumstances and I really learned some interesting and valuable information. If you watch the lectures and take notes, you are almost guaranteed a good grade. She has almost weekly assignments due as well, but they are not hard to complete and usually about an interesting topic. Take this class if you can!

This class is great! It's interesting, relevant, and manageable. You won't be bored in this class, almost all of the material can be applied to one's own life! The class is recorded, with straightforward slides and the professor answers any questions you may have. This class was one of the most enjoyable classes I've had at UCLA. I would take a class with this professor again! She's amazing!

Professor Sumner is such a good professor, so I highly recommend taking a course with her! Her lectures are very clear and engaging. You just need to answer a few questions embedded throughout the lecture video sections, which are divided into managebale watch times. This is when CCLE was used so it may look different on Canvas or "BruinLearn". These questions are based on the articles assigned for the lectures of that week; the articles are short and intriguing. The exams were online, there are no trick questions, and you have enough time to check your notes. You do have to pay for the "Packback" assignment system, which is a little inconvenient. This is basically an online discussion forum with "curiosity points" determined by AI. Getting the minimum points on the system isn't a challenge and you write a question and responses every week. They are basically graded for completion as long as you get the required curiosity points for coming up with a question based on the content for the week. Overall, prof Sumner is great so take her class!

I absolutely loved this class. Professor Sumner was a fantastic teacher and gave us engaging readings; not the classic boring textbooks you might expect. She's a fair grader and you can tell she cares about her students and wants us to learn, not to struggle. I HIGHLY suggest taking this class or any class with Professor Sumner.

Professor Sumner's Health Psych class was one of the most interesting classes as I am also a healthcare worker, I learned a lot of new information that I didn't know before. Her class was manageable, DO NOT MISS the easy points you get from posting your weekly questions and responses via PACKBACK, those points will save you. I got a low C on my first exam, and one high B and an A on the final. She drops one exam which was so helpful. I found the exams to be a little tricky and challenging at times but after each exam I reflected upon how I can do better on the next. I did do the extra credit and got full points on my assignments and still got an A+ but I absolutely worked for it

TAKE THIS CLASS! I cannot recommend it enough. I found the lectures to be engaging (they are asynchronous) and the material was very interesting. The exams are straightforward. As long as you watch the lectures, pay attention, and do the work, the path to an A is easy. Dr. Sumner is a great professor and very friendly. Take this class if you want an easy upper division Psychology course.

Professor Sumner is THE sweetest and most understanding professor I have had. She provides asynchronous lectures twice a week which are so fun to watch and listen to. She does not have a monotone voice whatsoever and she's just so great and her class is very enjoyable! I recommend this class to everyone!!
Breakdown of the class:
Participation: 5 pts
Reflection assignments: 10 pts
Exams (TOP TWO OF THREE!): 50 pts
Journal club worksheets: 15 pts
Written manuscript peer review: 20 pts
Extra credit: 3 possible points
All of the assignments are so fun to do and her exams are very straightforward. There is no textbook for this course, but she does provide articles to read, which are short and interesting. If you pay attention during lecture, you're guaranteed an A. But this class isn't just about getting an A, you will learn sooo much from professor Sumner!!! TAKE THIS CLASS WITH HER!!!!!

One of the most sweetest and understand professor I have had at UCLA! I enjoyed watching her lectures. She was extremely informative and precise with her lectures. I caught COVID during the beginning of the quarter and she was extremely accommodating.

This class was amazing! One of the best professors I've ever had. She is so passionate about the material and is an expert presenter and professor
