Comment:

I will be honest I forgot when our first exam was and did not study at besides taking the quizzes and I got a B, but the first exam was easy I had taken many psych classes before this one which is why I think I did well. Other than that overall it was a difficult class exams were worth over 400 points and over half of the exam points were essay.

Comment:

His class was very interesting. Every quiz could be taken an unlimited amount of times before the due date. Exams were one attempt but they consisted of questions taken directly from the quizzes. He offered extra credit at the end of the course. As long as you read the book and reviewed the notes you should do great on the quizzes and exams.

Comment:

Dr. K had to be one of the worst professors I have ever had. He harassed students for not knowing answers to material taught the same day. I wouldve been better off teaching myself this class, as I learned nothing from his rude and degrading teaching style.

His exams are hard and it is not the easiest class but if you ask him questions and read the book you should do well. There is a tutor that you can go see and honestly she was a godsend. It was not an easy class but it is not suppose to be.

He always reads your stress journals and gives great feedback. His exams are hard but if you do the quizzes multiple times then you are able to recognize the questions and answers. The project due at the end of class is extremely hard but the class as a whole is very worth it.

Comment:

Expects you to know what you're doing and barely explains, which isn't helpful with stats. Didn't work through problems, just told us to do them. He would be mad when we got it wrong. Started our research paper with one week left of the sem and expected us to know everything about it even though it was his research. Told us we were stupid...a lot.

Comment:

I'm not going to lie his class was very difficult. Many students failed the first exam. His exams are tough and he makes you work for it. Read the book and practice math problems as many times as you can. Exams consist of vocab.(from book) and a lot of math. Just practice and you should do fine. Also, writing assignments were not that bad.

The prof actually takes the time to read all of your journals and respond to them individually, which is very cool. You can take the quizzes as many times as you want which is great. The exam questions come from the quizzes and the essays are within the readings on moodle. Fun and easy class!

We did stress journals every week for points which is an easy 10 points if you do them and write the correct amount. He also reads all the journals and responds, which i appreciated. You can take the quizzes as many times as you want to get the grade you want. Tests have 4 essay questions which are difficult but easy to figure out.

Comment:

He is super nice and very knowledgable about what he is teaching. However, sometimes he moves very fast. His class is all quiz and exams based. You have 4 quizzes per unit and can take them as many times as you want but they are hard. You have to read the textbook or you won't be able to pass the quizzes.

Quizzes are hard but you can take them multiple times. Tests take questions from the quizzes and have open ended based on his lectures and extra readings. He offers help with the powerpoint project. Gives feedback on assignments.

Comment:

He reads directly off of his lecture slides and they are often very disorganized so it's hard to pay attention in class. There are three tests, half of the points come from material from the book and the other half come from open ended answers from his lectures.

Comment:

Dr. K started off as a unique professor, but as the semester continued, I began to dislike his disorganization and lecture style. He rarely goes off of his power point slides, making it very difficult to take notes. He side tracks consistently and does not respond to emails. I learned more from reading the book than going to class.

Dr. K is fantastic, he has a huge personality, his lectures are funny and relatable. Go to class and read the book and you'll succeed. He cares about his students, participate often and he'll care more. Assigns interesting supplemental reading. His tests are long, and theory application based. Make notecards.

Dr. K is a professor that can be extremely tough at times but if you put the effort in you'll be fine. I learned a lot from him. Tests are difficult and long but if you go to class, pay attention, and study the notes you can get a good grade.

Comment:

He's a character. Very funny. It's obvious that he cares about his students. Lectures are long. Lost my attention until he related theories to examples. All quizzes and exams were online. All quizzes were graded using the "best grade" method. Gave extra credit opps. Easy A if you read the book and go to class.

Comment:

I took social psych with him, and you can definitely tell this is his area of expertise. His lectures are quite interesting and although sometimes hard to understand, he keeps his students interested and is downright hilarious! His quizzes and exams are hard, but if you keep up with the reading and study before the exam you'll be fine.

Comment:

Online with him is hard, I had him for class and thought it was easy to learn but his online class is quite difficult. This is tough subject matter and should be taught on campus. You need to back up your answers for full credit and really study the powerpoints, I wouldn't bother with the book. It was a difficult read and his ppts did justice
