Comment:

I thought Kleissler was a really good professor. I enjoyed her class and thought she did a good job of keeping the class engaged. I didn't think her tests were that difficult seeing as how they're all open notes and open book. I would definitely take her again.

Very sweet woman and cares for her students. She is understanding if you cannot make it to class (snow for example). And her tests are usually open bookopen note for the first two. The other exams you can put notes on on index card and use for it.

Comment:

She teaches like it's still 1980 and shows extremely outdated material. I also found her to be very bias. She gives a lot of extra credit which helps because her exams for pretty difficult. Overall, not too bad of a class but I wouldn't take her again.

Comment:

She's a sweet lady but a little old fashioned. She'll frequently make you talk to the person next to you to discuss a certain subject so you better like the people you sit around. She offers lots of extra credit and the tests are open note. You get extra credit for participating so do it. It's worth it.

Comment:

she is such a nice lady! her tests were difficult, but if you study and do the notecard you'll be fine! she offers lots of extra credit which is super simple and can really boost your grade! yes, this class can seem more like a parenting one sometimes, but that isnt really a bad thing. either way it is a great class and i learned alot! :)

Comment:

She is one of the worst professors I have ever had. Yes she does offer a lot of extra credit and has open notes exams which is good if you only care about getting a decent grade. But she refuses to keep up with the times and replace her old transparencies that are probably 20 years old. She seems to only care about her students that are disabled.

Comment:

Her class was over all easy mostly because she lets you use your notes for every test but some questions on the test are her opinion and have nothing to do with the book. She takes attendance everyday and you have assigned seats so she can keep track of your participation. Just make sure you go to class everyday and you'll be good.

Comment:

Very nice professor but her class is straight lecture from transparencies that are probably from 1980 and she does not post any notes on D2L. Her test questions are next to impossible to answer even with open notes and book. Take advantage of the extra credit at all costs. If the test was about her grandchildren Id have an A but theyre not...

Comment:

She is really an easy professor. Just follow your syllabus, do any of the tons of extra credit available and study more than just the night before the tests to earn an easy A. You must buy the book and for her second and third tests, really study it because the tests cover both in class and book material.

Comment:

The only problem with her is that she talks forever before a test and causes a lot of distracions at first. She offers easy extra credit like posting on D2L and class participation. She lets youuse your book on 2 tests and make a notecard for the other 2.

Comment:

The class is called Child Psych not parenting, and she does not understand that. I learned more about her family than I would ever care to know. The tests are hard. She does offer extra credit though. She always seems flustered and will not recognize that students have their hands raised. She just looks up, ignores raised hands and moves on.

Comment:

She's easy but the class is not psych. Be prepared for parenting class, not child psych. We learned mostly about her grandkids and how to deal with whiney children. We didn't even learn about learning disorders or anything pertaining to psych. Also she has that "I have a doctorate I'm better than you" mentality when tech comes in to help her

Comment:

She is passionate about her work and really tries to get the message to the students. Some of her test questions to seem like opinion questions rather than fact so that can be difficult. The only complaint is that her material is outdated. The videos and notes she uses, she must have been using for atleast 20 years.

Comment:

I had her for ed psych. She is very helpful but she has you talk to your partner alot and half the time i didn't even know what we were supposed to talk about b/c she would give instructions while students were still taking notes. She gives extra credit for the exams and you can use open-notebook or notecards.she drops lowest exam grade.
