Reviews of professor Nhi Thai

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Lots and LOTS of reading, test questions don't always pertain to the material making it hard to get good scores on tests. Teacher almost never responds to emails. The quizzes are okay, there is a quiz every week and a discussion every other week. 3 exams and a final.

Dr. Thai is an amazing person and such a gem. She genuinely cares about her students and makes lectures relatable. Her class is so easy and lighthearted, and there are only a few tests. There are some papers, but not hard at all and sporadic. If you don't like her or don't do well, that's on you because the class is insanely easy and she is great.

Dr Thai is easily my favorite professor I have ever had, she is extremely engaging and I love her lectures. She is so easy to follow and makes lectures so interesting. This has been by far my favorite class and I wish I could take many more with Dr Thai!

Professor Thai is a really nice and flexible person. She has a good balance of firm and kind. If you are struggling and you let her know the situation, she may be willing to work with you. The class was mostly graded on weekly quizzes and then term papers. She will give you a decent grade if you hit the required things on the rubric.

Dr. Thai is a genuinely nice person, but not a great professor for 200 level psych. She expects students to have extensive background knowledge of the field coming into class. This class was way more science than necessary and barely focused on the psychology side. It is a psych class but seemed more like bio, chem, and anatomy combined.

She's a fine person, but extremely unprofessional. She gets very distracted easily in the class and barely stays on topic. Information is also very vague. She spends more time talking about her personal life than the subject at hand which can get annoying. Would not recommend if you want to learn something. Would recommend just reading the textbook

Nhi is amazing! Not only are her lectures so enjoyable, her positive psych class is my favorite class i've taken at PSU and i'm a senior. Anyone can have a connection with her and she is super understanding about all! DO NOT HESITATE TO TAKE HER CLASS, I have no idea why everyone else posted that mean stuff she is the best.

Overall, a simple course. There were 1-2 things due each week. A lot of written assignments and discussions. Her exams are hard. She also does not give much feedback.
