Winter 2024 - I took this course in Winter24 and I really enjoyed Professor Rith-Najarian's teaching style. She was always engaging and encouraging to students and wanted all of us to understand and properly learn the material. Participation is definitely important for your grade but there are plenty of opportunities to engage and share ideas with the Professor and other peers. I went to her office hours several times and she provided guidance with the homework and also professional advice for grad school which was really helpful for me. The homework worksheets are helpful for the research process and I liked that her process was different than other research processes I have studied before. Grades for these worksheets are very important and the final was open note with a study guide. Overall, I would take another class with her and I really liked how she made a class about research engaging yet informative at the same time.

Summer 2025 - I will never take another course with this professor. Our final exam was over 50% of our grade which included over 80 questions. Through out each class we had to do multiple iclicker poll questions to make sure we were paying attention and if we missed a question, attendance for that day would be lost. She did not give us an adequate study guide for the exam and tested on material that was not included in lectures. This class was an absolute headache for me and I studied extremely hard for the final but ended with a horrendous grade because of the trick questions and medication responses. I do not recommend taking any class with this professor unless you have a super brain that can memorize everything you read. This was an awful experience. For guiding students in the realm of clinical psychology, it would behoove the professor to have a heart.
