Dr. Rice is probably the best professor I've had. She is so kind and genuinely invested in each student's success. She's also incredibly knowledgeable and skilled at translating that knowledge so that undergraduates can understand. I HIGHLY recommend Psych246! The material was super interesting and Dr. Rice is an awesome discussion facilitator.

She's so sweet! Her Mindfulness Sophomore seminar was really fun to take. The class discussion she facilitated was just focused on hearing your opinion, so it was super interesting. If you're at all interested in meditation/ yoga, Rice teaches a great class with not too much work!
