Comment:

Kremer is uncommunicative, disorganized, and makes it mandatory that students buy a book he wrote himself for the course. His "ethnoautobiography" contains no legitimate information. I ended up keeping his class for credit to be considered full time, but he dropped me without so much as an e-mail and I ended up losing my scholarship.

Comment:

He doesn't grade anything his pal's grade. You have to buy an online book for 100 dollars that HE himself wrote. Everything is online all you do is show up to his boring lecture. I thought about dropping this class on the first day, I should've but I had already bought the book. I stuck it out honestly wish I hadn't. Choose somone else for pysch.

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS!!!!!! He writes the required textbook you have to buy. You have to buy the test book to take the tests..... that he writes online. The textbook is as big as an instruction manual for a table from IKEA. Each chapter is about two pages and not useful AT ALL. AGAIN DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS!!!!

Would definitely recommend taking his class! I really enjoyed the lectures. He also lets you take the midterm and final TWICE and the quizzes as many times as you want (and he keeps the highest grade).

Comment:

I took this class online. It was not hard but tedious and frustrating. He would put up more assignments at the very last minute. This was very annoying because you would think, okay i finished my assignments, and if you did not check regularly, you would miss it. Overall extremely frustrating. I learned more about religion than psychology.

What an amazing Professor, HIGHLY recommend. You can take each chapter test as many times as you want until you get 100% (highly recommended). The Midterm and Final is the SAME QUESTIONS AS THE CHAPTER TESTS (hint, hint). Lectures are given in video as well as slide shows. He wrote the textbook, so read it! Loved the final report!

Comment:

This is a tough class. Dr. Kremer is a good professor because he's open to answering questions and approachable but dear lord are there so many papers and long writing assignments. The textbook is somewhat dry but interesting at times especially with the non-western approach to psychology. DON'T LOSE TRACK OF DUE DATES YOU'LL REGRET NOT KEEPING UP

Comment:

If you want to learn psychology or anything applicable in a psychology class, take another teacher. This class was loaded with pseudoscience and mysticism and Im astounded its allowed to exist in an academic institution. He cant manage the website effectively and youre forced to buy the book he wrote, new, which is loaded with false info

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE THIS. This class does not cover actual scientific psychology at all. The "textbook" is a $100+ pamphlet made by the professor and describes holistic spiritual traditions instead of psychology. I don't know why this class is passed off as a general psych course in the first place.

Comment:

Take this class if you like it very structured. Prof Kremer emphasizes time management. Every assignment is due by midnight online (at least when I took the class) on the day of the class, for me monday and wednesday. He teaches his own textbook, so you do the assignment at home and then the lectures are the same material. There are many papers.

Comment:

There was a research paper that had to be done but it was split up into sections due over the week. The textbook can be a bit boring but as long as you don't wait till the last day to read and take the online quiz you should be fine as you can retake them various times.

Comment:

Youll have to do a research paper that Jurgen spreads out throughout the entire semester in increments so you dont have to write it all at once. Gave 200 possible extra credit points that you have the semester to do. A bit confusing with instructions but triple check if you need to. Not lecture heavy at all, easy going class (took 1A w/him too).

Comment:

Jurgen shows the relationship between mental health and one's culture, and how our own system of addressing mental health here can be flawed which is extremely good knowledge to have if you're serious about going into psych. However, with that being said, it feels like your taking an online class at times with how dry lectures are sometimes.

Comment:

not a good online teacher-- materials include "live lectures" from his in-class sessions with very bad sound quality his own interpretation of Psych 1A (some usual stuff but also connecting to elements, telepathy, "we are all connected", etc). not the standard intro psych class! his own textbook

Get ready to spend 15-20 hours a week on this class. Run far far away from this course. Find an easier teacher, it's not worth it. It's too much and it's not necessary to put yourself through the torture of this class. I'm usually an A student and always ready to work hard, this class is just over the top with the amount of work. Save yourself.

By far one of the best experiences I've had with online courses. Amazing lecture material, amazing lessons learned overall. Kremer is very kind, organized, and responsive. Quizzes and test can seem overwhelming however you are given many opportunities to succeed in this course. Highly recommend!!

Took hybrid class. Long online quizzes that were hard but you can re-take them as many times as u want n he takes highest score. Several additional research projects. plenty of time do them all. 4 guaranteed extra credit assignments. Not a harsh grader. Super nice, gentle person, approachable. a bit disorganized, just go with flow, do assignments.

Class is good, but would take it online if I was to do it again because it's mostly online anyway and when you go to class you watch videos that are already posted online or he lectures which is mostly just a powerpoint of the chapter, so no new or different information, so if you're taking it just do it online

Comment:

I dropped this class, I no longer could deal with the frustration of the "21st Century" interpretation of psychology. I have taken Psych 101 quite some time ago, and know what to expect from an introductory course, this IS NOT THAT. If you don't need a traditional and comprehensive psych class, take it, if you do avoid this one at all cost.

I took an online Psych class typical forum every week along with a quiz on the chapter that you can take an unlimited amount of times online. Straightforward class
