ATTENDANCE IS REALLY IMPORTANT...There is no way you can keep up and do well if you do not attend class. She gives lots of extra credit and oppurtunities to keep a good grade in the class, but YOU MUST READ! If you read and go to class you should have no problem getting an A or B in any of her classes!

Lots and lots of reading! Pretty hard class, even for the PSYC dept. However, she is a great teacher and will go out of her way to help. Very sweet lady.

Dr. Kirsner teaches her Human Sexuality class from an evolutionary perspective. I really enjoyed her engaging teaching style. She invites guest lecturers from a variety of sources. The texts are not traditional textbooks but very practical and current publications. She is strict on plagerism and relies on essays and short multiple choice quizzes.

Beth Kirsner teaches her class in Human Sexuality from an evolutionary perspective. She deals with mating benefits and costs in great detail. She has selected two texts that are not really textbooks as much as books on the subject's leading edge. Very interesting class, she's pleasant to look at too. Hard on plagerism, Essays and multiple choice.

Beth is an amazing professor. I had lots of questions for her, and she never hesitated to help me out. She'll stay late with you, and email as well. One of the fastest-responding profs I've had. Had no problem admitting when the book (Hyman) made NO sense, and tried explaining in her own way. Still asked if "her" way made sense.

This is a hard class! TONS of reading and daily quizzes over material. Very anal about plagarism and grammar. Says "she gave you the answer" yet the entire class misses the question. She can be moody and mean sometimes.

I learned a TON in her Human Sexuality course. Attendance is mandatory, but she is extremely knowledgable and extremely dedicated to her class. I can honestly say that it is the class I learned the MOST in college. This isn't an easy class but its also not hard :) If you're interested in learning the origins of sexulality take it!

Absolutely wonderful class. You will learn a lot. If you are taking this class for an easy A...choose another one. It is not that easy. There is A LOT of reading and you have to stay on top of it to do well. Quizzes almost everyday over the reading but no tests. Attendance is mandatory and you won't do well without going. Tough on plagerism!!

PLEASE DO NOT PLAGIARIZE!!!! She grades really hard on the experimental research paper and is sometimes unclear about what she's telling you. Watch out if she's having a bad day because it might be a bad day for you too. However, she is willing to help you if you go to her office. Sometimes she can hurt your feelings if you're really sensitive.

I was shocked to see the number of people that said that this class was difficult and required a lot of reading. Yes, you have to read, however the books you are required to read were written for the general public and are not text books, therefore I found them to be very interesting. If you're not interested in the subject, don't take the class.

Awesome class! It was NOT hard at all! Required some reading (very interesting books) and some take home quizzes, that yes, required you to think! But she's very helpful and the class was amazing! I wish I could take it again!

Dr.Kirsner is one of the most dedicated teachers on staff @ KSU. While firm and tough, you will not find many more instructors willing to invest time and planning resources to make the class a sucessful learning experience. Many smaller assignments and a large paper required. Tests are straightforward but challenging. Be honest,study hard,do well.

This was one of the toughest classes I have ever taken. Not because the material was difficult, but because of the work load. Be prepared to spend TONS of time on work. Not impossible to get an A, but you REALLY have to work hard to earn it! She is a great professor and makes every attempt to help her students. She is a very good professor!

This class was difficult, and required a good bit of effort outside of class. The paper required is really hard, but you can succeed in this class. Dr. Kirsner is very helpful, and you will not find a professor more dedicated to your success. However she is tough and demands a lot!

I got an A in this class, but I worked really hard for it. The professor bent over backwards to help me. The class is very interesting. Lots of guest speakers. May want to tape and save lectures. THQ must be cited and done with extreme correctness. Lots of reading, but books are easy to understand. Class discussion was where most info came from.

Nice Lady. Ready to help. Hard exams. Comprehencive final. HARD, yes really HARD grader.

Very cool and sort of quirky but very knowledgeable. She is a stickler for citing but when I got her exam I was in love. No tricks, very straightforward. I would love to take her again, she is full of interesting insights on things. At first she seems like she will work you to death but I think she's just trying to weed people out. Take her!

You HAVE to go to class. She does weekly reading quizzes online and in class. These are EXTREMELY helpful when studying for the test, but she doesn't give the quizzes/tests back to keep. She is very smart and knows what she's talking about. It was a very eye-opening class.

LOVED Dr. Beth! Maymester has TONS of reading, 2 quizzes a day (in class and online), & 2 short papers, but questions are straight from reading and lecture.She spends as much time as you need to make sure you get it. Many guest speakers make it a very spicy class. Take this class!!

Great teacher!! Very helpful, and always willing to meet with students to give extra help! I will take her again!

Great professor and as long as you keep up with the readings and attend class it is very easy.

Love Kirsner! She is awesome. Intimidating at first to some, but she is really sweet. THE best psyc prof at KSU. If you have an issue, she does whatever she can to help. Take her for Experimental and Human Sexuality. She is really smart and loves what she does.

If you aren't open minded then this class wouldn't be for you. A lot of guys might actually be uncomfortable talking about the content. The professor is knowledgeable and offers up a lot of help but lectures consist terminology and online activities. She also focuses HEAVILY on plagiarism. If you're not a psych major I wouldn't recommend.

If you can, take Sexuality in Maymester! Extremely fast paced, but so worth it. She keeps it interesting with tons of guest speakers and panels...usually at least 1 per day. You will NOT be bored! Picky about citations, but she should be! Read the books, do your own work, go to class and you will do fine.

Dr. Kirsner makes this class fun and interesting. There are a lot of discussions. Her reading guides are extremely helpful. She is definitely my favorite Psychology professor! TAKE HER!!!!

I had her for experimental. She is very nice and very helpful ad fair. But she tries to do too much at once. Her site is very confusing because there is way too much and it is hard to find what you need. Her PowerPoints are about 60 slides per PowerPoint. And you better know APA and have good grammar! I got an A in the class but it's alot of work!

This was my favorite class this semester- Human Sexuality. Kirsner is an incredible teacher, very fair and straightforward. There was a lot of material and a lot of reading, but she makes you totally passionate about it, and it's SO interesting. I went to every study session (2 hours and led by TAs) and earned a high-A. Definitely recommend.

Amazing teacher. I took her during maymester so it was a lot of reading. The books were vey inexpensive. She knows her material and explains it well!! Quizes/Test were easy, based off of the reading guides that she provides you with. TAKE HER!!! shes amazing!

It's a difficult class regardless of who teaches it. Her tests are wonderful, very straightforward. She's a stickler for APA but you learn SO much. I made an A in the class. Def. one of my favorite professors, take her!

Dr. Beth is extremely hard but she is one of the best teachers I've had. She is hard on writing skills but you're in college...deal with it. Statistics part you learn on your own and tests are pretty challenging. If she sees you're trying she'll work with you. She went above and beyond for me to get a B in the class.

She is an easy professor if you do your work. Keep up with the readings and take advantage of the study sessions!!!

Great professor! Beth is very straight forward about the class material and will most certainly help you if you ask. Material is interesting but it is also a little difficult at times which should be expected considering this is a 3000 level college course. Anyone can make an A if they simply put forth the effort! GO TO THE TEST STUDY SESSIONS!

I took her for 3365 and 3301. My advice: pay attention in class, read, answer the provided questions, and ASK QUESTIONS! Regarding the prior accusation of her “being on a soapbox,” yes, she is very passionate, but Dr. Kirsner is very approachable; she actually asks that students call her Beth. Don’t take her class if you are looking to coast by.

Dr. Kirsner taught evolution & had guests teach about sex. I am a Christian & do not believe in evolution the way she does. If you are a Christian I don't recommend her. She seems very close minded but was still nice about it. I wanted to challenge myself and regret it. Also, the paper is not extra credit but she says it is. Write it. Or take Wolfe

Days before the 1st day of class even started, she sent the class an email warning us that we have a test the 2nd day of class. The first several weeks of class are fast & demanding; she does this to weed out the slackers. Make it past that & you're good. Major assignments due before almost every class. She is intimidating, but VERY helpful.

I might have a crush on her. But that aside, she is a tough professor and for good reason- you really want to take her if you plan to go to grad school because you thoroughly learn the concepts the way she teaches them.

Dr. Kirsner is amazing! Don't listen to comments saying she's on a soapbox and close minded! One of the nicest and most caring teachers I've had. Lectures and material very interesting. Tests straight from quizzes and lectures, (records and posts all lectures). It is a bit of reading, but very interesting and you have unlimited time for quizzes.

My favorite professor

Very easy and interesting.

Experimental in general is not an easy course but taking it online was even tougher unless you are able to teach yourself the material. She gives you EVERYTHING you need to pass, you just have to be willing to do your part. All her quizzes & exams are open note/open book and she pulls questions from previous quizzes. Just do the work & you'll pass!

Dr. Beth is a great professor, showing up to class is fun however not necessary because she puts recordings of her lectures online. There are weekly reading quizzes and 4 tests that are all online. Dr. Beth gives students four days to take the online exams, however the tests are long and specific. The tests have FIB, M/C, and essay questions.

YES!!! Do it! Dr. Kirsner is amazing. She records all of her lectures and posts them online in case you miss a day. Extra credit on all the tests, and you have a full week to work on tests and quizzes. I feel like it would be difficult not to make an A and actually learn a lot. She makes sure you learn the material, but makes it easy for you.

She's an amazing professor overall--her lectures are engaging, she encourages class discussion, she cares about her students, and she's a really fair grader. She posts recordings of lectures online, but trust me, you want to actually show up. Her human sexuality class is particularly great--if you're a psych major or minor, I highly recommend it.

Dr Beth is AMAZING! Her lectures are fun and interactive. She is very knowledgeable and open-minded. I took her for maymester so there was a LOT of reading but the daily quizzes were totally based on the test, in order of the reading, and super easy. Shes very passionate and cares about her students.

I have never had so much work to do in my entire life. I took this class 100% online. There was a weekly APA quiz. And Each week there was anywhere from 5-9 assignments due. Homework took me between 10-15 hours a week. Its a LOT of work, but she is absolutely amazing and coaches you through everything.. read her material and get an A

Dr. Kirsner is one of the most caring and considerate professors at KSU. Although she can be a tough grader, she is clear on what the grading criteria is from the start. She is also willing to give extra time if needed. This class is very work intensive, but it is definitely a good prep for graduate school. Would recommend taking her!

Lot of reading (to better understand the topic of nature and nurture) and writing, but all the writing assignments make your final paper so much easier. Regardless of your writing level, you will learn everything (grammar and APA style) you should have known throughout college, and improve a lot. She does her best to help prepare you for gradschool

gives a ton of assignments & there are a lot of writing assignments. I found myself spending an average of 15 hours a week just on assignments. Even though this class is a lot of work, Dr Kirsner is very helpful & wants you to succeed. She makes you work for the grade that you want. Very useful professor if you want to go to grad school

If you have an opportunity to take her class to take her, I promise you'll love her! Attendance is not mandatory, but I strongly suggest you don't skip. She does writing assignments every lecture, but she only grades 4 of your writing assignments, but it's random. Some quizzes and tests questions only come from the lecture so go and take good notes

This is the first semester they offered this course so I think curriculum is still being established. She was very understanding and provided flexibility with submission dates. All material was provided on powerpoint. I got a little bit confused on material at the end of the semester but overall she was excellent. 11/10 would recommend again.

Beth is very... quirky. Very open about a lot of things, so don't be afraid to share with her during class discussions. Lectures & books are interesting. Tests are open note, no books. Organize them well to find it during the exams. She has pop short answers, so show up to class!! Super easy class. Read, Pay attention in class, Pass.

Honestly, this class is hard but if you take the time to read Dr. Kirsner's resources, you'll do fine. Her class is composed of 5 tests, 12 quizzes, and 6 labs. The tests are really long and difficult but her feedback & her help is great. She is always available via email, text or phone call. Overall, she's great. This is just a tough class.

Professor Kirsner is the most genuine and caring professor I have ever had. She is very easy to talk to and she responds to emails immediately. I would recommend her to everyone. If you are taking this class and have good work ethic/study habits it is really easy to get an A in this class. This is coming from someone who is terrible at math lol.

She was extremely sweet and always asked if the students need help. The only problem that I had was there were so many assignments and even though I studied so hard for the exams I would get 60's. Exams are really tough. I would recommend her if you are AMAZING at statistics.

My favorite professor by far. Her top goal is to make sure students have a chance to learn and it shows. She will bend over backwards to help you anytime she can. She will go above and beyond to NOT trick you with questions and is very generous with bonus points and extra credit. That doesn't mean her classes are easy, but integrity is very high.

Dr. Kirsner is a great professor but no push over. She will notice any cheating/plagiarism and will definitely call you out on it with a severe punishment. My advice its not even worth. But she is definitely willing to work with you if struggling, its just your job to reach out.

I took the online version of this class and there were 13 quizzes, 3 exams, and 2 activities to complete (3 lowest quizzes dropped). Dr. Kirsner was always straight forward with what she expected and this class was honestly very interesting. Dr. Kirsner is a great professor and you can tell she truly wants her students to do well. Take her!!

We do have quizzes due once a week and there is a good amount to read but I wouldn't say any of it was unnecessary. If you get behind in class she will be understanding. She also provides extra credit. There is a lot of information but as someone who barely read any of it, I still got by with an A. There are also 4 tests but they aren't hard.

I adore Dr. Beth. She has been super flexible & understanding this semester with everything going online. There is an optional lecture once a week. She is very accommodating to those who make the effort in her class. There is a LOT of work, but it is super interesting and she makes it easier with reading guides. Textbooks are cheap & interesting!

Dr Beth is an amazing professor. Always willing to help and has a clear syllabus. Please do not cheat in this class because Dr Beth would find out. I seeked help from a friend of mine who unfortunately got answers from chegg, that got me into a lot of trouble and unfortunately i failed the class because of that. Be honest with your work and study!

anyone who gives her a bad rating is crazy. all tests and quizzes were open note. didn't go to class once and I got 90-100 on every test and quiz. she is SO nice and understanding and will extend any deadline if you just let her know what's going on. EASY A, take it!

EPITOME OF A PERFECTAND HELPFUL PROF

She's the sweetest. She made this class a whole lot of fun and she cares much more about your interest in learning material than grades. Everything is open note, she's flexible with timing, attendance isn't required. This is a great professor.

Dr. Kirsner is an understanding professor who wants to see her students succeed in the class. She is easily accessible and doesn't make you feel stupid asking questions, she's willing to call/text to explain it better which I loved. Granted the tests were lengthy, but if you had difficulties with questions you could ask her. Highly recommend her!

Dr. Beth is an incredible professor who genuinely cares about her students. She is extremely knowledgeable about the subject she teaches and it is evident that she loves her job and her students! She provides her personal cell phone number for students to text her at any time with questions. She also provides a lot of opportunities for extra credit

The workload with this course is as expected for a tough course like statistics, but Dr. Kirsner is the most caring and flexible professor that really there's no way you can fail. The class was self-paced, and she was always gracious with extensions and questions you might have. Long tests but she was on standby for any concerns. LOOOVE her!

Great professor!!! And shes very nice

Dr. Kirsner is great! She is super understanding and helpful. Everyone has the chance to put moderate effort in and get a solid A. There isn't a "textbook" but we have been reading two books this semester. She lets you look at the course materials while taking the test. Also- the class is super interesting! Just sign up for it

You only have one quiz a week, 4 tests and like 2 discussions. She's literally the most laid back prof ever. She isn't strict on deadlines, her tests are untimed and no lockdown to reduce our stress levels, and she really helps the material come alive. Wish more professors were like her!

There are weekly quizzes, 4 tests, and 2 bigger assignments throughout the semester but she is so understanding and really wants you to succeed! Dr. Beth is the best professor I've ever had and her Human Sexuality course is super interesting from start to finish. I actually enjoyed doing the reading for this class.

One of my favorite Professors ever! I was motivated to try harder for her class - she honestly cares. She is very understanding and let's you go at your own pace. The untimed quizzes and exams are extremely helpful with a subject like Statistics. She is available to help outside of traditional hours which is perfect if you are a working student.

I took this as a Maymester her and she's AMAZING. She has a wealth of knowledge and provides TONS of resources. You need the books to pass, because thats where all the test info came from, but she gives great ppts. #1 tip, read the feedback on exams and the notes in the ppts. Tons of test questions come from them. She wants us to succeed for sure.

Very understanding professor and is always willing to help. You can literally text her during an exam to ask for help. She leaves exams open for like 4 days and you have unlimited time so you dont have to do it all at once. Only annoying thing was she wouldn't stop talking about COVID. I went to class maybe 2 times and made an A.

I truly think she is a gem! Her course is designed in a unique way and I appreciate her effort and time for her students, Although she gives extensions for a lot of the material, DO NOT take if for granted because you can find yourself slacking and not succeeding as well if you were to stay on track. Unlimited retakes and time for quizzes.

she's one of the best professors at KSU. She is so caring and her grading criteria are so clear. She gives a lot of extensions, and extra credit opportunities, and she's very understanding of life problems. The only thing I didn't like is the heavy quizzes and the amount of information on the powerpoints

I really enjoyed this class and thought Professor Kirsner was a great teacher. A lot of quizzes, but lowest 3 get dropped. 4 tests that are similar to quizzes. 1 writing activity thats relatively easy and you get to choose from 3 different options. If you have to take this class, take her! No attendance and no lockdown browser for tests/quizzes.

I took the class over the summer for maymester. It was really intriguing with a lot of interesting information and topics found in readings and lecture. You have to read but if you can its a pretty easy class

This class was amazing and pretty easy. I took it for maymester and it was wildly interesting. Everyday a lengthy quiz is due over the readings and lectures but the answers are fairly easy to locate. If you arent willing to set aside time to read the textbook do not take this class. I finished the class with a 96

I've taken Dr. Beth for two classes and highly recommend her. She is the most caring professor I have ever had, and is easily accessible and always willing to help you. She makes sure her classes are always low/no cost which is nice, too.

I took this class online for maymester and there was a quiz almost every other day but as long as you keep up with the reading youll be fine. The quizzes are from the book in the order you read them but its mixed up on the exam. Id say it was a fair class and I got an A

She's very understanding of situations that may arise and she always made herself available if you needed help , and if she wasn't she'd get back to you the day after. She was also super understanding of needing more time for exams , worksheets , homework etc . I would definitely take her again if I could .

This professor is very caring and does everything she can to help her students succeed, however this class is extremely difficult in and of itself, id argue it should be split into two parts because of the sheer amount of material taught in such a short amount of time. If you're willing to put in the time and effort you will succeed

Such a great professor!! Super kind and easy to reach out to! Offers extra credit and gives a grace period for exams. Highly recommend. This class itself is very difficult and comes with A LOT of work, just communicate with her and you should be fine! Very understanding and sweet!

Mandatory to attend 7 classes. All work is outside of class. All lectures, quizzes, and tests are outside of class. In class are just discussions. Lots of guest speakers. Tests and quizzes are challenging but all answers can be found within the lectures. Very informative course. Teacher is super sweet and extensions are allowed.

You'll love Dr B. Statistics is difficult for me and I have severe anxiety but I was able to get an A in psych 3000 because she's dedicated to helping students learn. Tests aren't proxied or timed but DON'T CHEAT! You can use notes for the tests. With all that said, I learned more in this class than any other science/math class I've taken before.

TAKE HER! She will give you unlimited extensions, but please do not fall behind. She gives you helpful feedback on quizz/exam, unlimited quiz attempts, a lot of SPSS labs, lots of worksheets, 5 exams but she gives you unlimited time. Always text her for any questions, she will help you no matter what! There is a lot to do, but she helps with it all

She trusts and values her students so much! Text her at any time and she is there to help. Her tests were extremely detailed with at least 60 questions but unlimited time. All open note and you may ask her for help during the test, just don't cheat. 7/15 attendance were mandatory. Extremely knowledgable and caring. Lots of extra credit. Take her!

Dr. Beth is an AMAZING professor. I would take her for every class if I could. Her assignments are clear and she is EXTREMELY helpful. She makes herself available just about anytime and it is clear that she enjoys her job. She is amazing.

One of the best profs I have had. She was very helpful and even gave us her phone number to text if we needed help on exams. I can see how this class would be hard with a different professor but she made it very easy. As long as you try, and complete all the assignments, it is an easy A. No lockdown or webcams so taking exams is less stressful.

Dr. Beth ran an amazing class. I took her class over a 10 day Maymester, and while it was a lot of work, she sets you up for success if you follow the guidelines and stay on pace. Most of your grade is on quizzes and exams, and she does offer minor extra credit. If you are looking for an elective, or if the topic interests you, take this class!

Professor Beth's class is challenging but rewarding. The lectures can be hit or miss, but her tests are detailed and take time. Textbook is a must, and unstuckstudy was super helpful for quiz prep.
