Comment:

Kirasic crushed my spirits when she emailed me and told me I could no longer make an A in the easiest class on the face of the planet because I missed one assignment (which she told me in the worlds most condescending email) (got an A anyway but dealing with her passive aggressive comments was just terrible)

Comment:

do not take her unless you are 100% on top of your work. if you mess up and forget one thing on line your grade will drop a letter grade. she has no regard for life circumstances her syllabus even says that if your family member dies or you are super sick like in the hospital you still need to make sure your work is in on time. she is so rude too

One of the easiest classes I've ever taken but my goodness is Kirasic just downright disrespectful at times. Take her if you want an easy A and don't care about feedback/communication.

Course is entirely online and do at your own pace. There are deadlines to make sure you don't get so behind that you cant complete the course but if you wanted to, you could finish in the first month of the semester.

Comment:

Online class was super easy. Like 8 assignments total that are online quizzes for the reading online as well but all the answers are on quizlets. She makes you do these PSA assignments that are not graded fairly bc she doesn't outline exactly what she expects so she grades hard. Easy A , do not skip assignments or else she will fail u

This class has been very easy. All of the quizzes/tests are found online. She's very rude when she sends out emails but other than that the class is fine and easy.

Comment:

Shes very rude, even though its an online class when she sends out emails and announcements she is very condescending. She also has the most difficult to understand syllabus I have seen in my 4 years of college. Her times in which assignments are due are very strange also. She wasn't helpful at all when I emailed her for clarification on something.

Comment:

I thought these reviews may be over exaggerating but honestly don't ever bother trying to email her about anything. I've never been treated so poorly by a professor in a response to an email. It's not a hard class and I actually enjoy the content in the ebook, but if you forget to do one ebook assignment on time it can completely ruin your grade.

Comment:

She's rude, unclear grading criteria, a heavy workload, and slow to respond to emails. If you email her past 5 on thursday she won't get back to you until monday, even though she's hosting an online class! Her syllabus is 13 pages long and she expects a minimum of 15-20 devoted to her ONE ONLINE class. I would not recommend this professor.

Comment:

I took psych420 online for half a semester. This is definitely the easiest class i've ever taken in college. The modules are long but you can pretty much find all the answers online without reading it. This all being said, Kirasic is rude and condescending and I honestly don't think she cares about her students and their grades.

Comment:

I cannot believe the ratings that Kirasic has been receiving. She is truly a wonderful professor and her class is very easy. You get 2 attempts at every test - there are only 7 and your lowest test gets dropped. You can be as advanced as you want in the class, just keep in mind the deadlines are every two weeks. TAKE THE CLASS. It's an easy A.

No kidding! Kirasic is by far the worst professor I have had in my entire life! This lady is disrespectful, rude and flat out MEAN. I am surprised the University has someone like this as a professor. She is unprofessional, she is not helpful and she provides little to no direction on assignments. Please, please stay away from this lady!

Worst professor I have ever had. She displays an incredible lack of disrespect towards students and is very condescending. If you want help you won't receive it. I sent many emails and phones call with no responses and when I finally got one it contained 6 words. Very rude and surprised she is still teaching at this university. HEAD MY WARNING!

Comment:

Took the class online, the actual book work and exams are easy but you have to write a paper and complete 3 outlines. She is very non-specific for what she wants with these, but will grade harshly for not knowing what she wants. She sends very rude and pretty unprofessional class emails. I would not recommend this class unless you truly need it.

Do not take this professor. She is not willing to help you nor friendly. I wrote her the nicest email regarding an assignment and she sent me the rudest response I have ever received from a teacher. She does not care about your grade and does not offer extra credit.

Comment:

Okay she is high key rude. I emailed her asking to clarify dates and she responded back using a rude tone and did't even answer my question..... Now I don't know how to do an assignment but I'm too nervous to email her again. Very unclear and you have to rent books at the library. Not worth taking the class.

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE!! She is very condescending to students and acts like they are all beneath her. She writes directions on how to do something but is very vague and if you submit something the wrong way she gives you a 0 even though it's her mistake. Needs to be fired immediately. I have never met a more incompetent individual in my life

Comment:

Took the online psych101 course and it was super easy. There was a decent amount of work involved but since it was online you could do it at any time before the due date. About 7 tests but you had 3 tries to take them. Each module had a flashcard quiz sets you had to complete as well as required discussion posts but it wasn't too difficult.
