You can expect 3 article reviews and 2 tests, that's it. No padding anywhere. Sets her students up for failure and then wonders why they fail. Not lenient even when very extreme mitigating circumstances. Seemed nice at fist, do not be fooled I think she gets a kick out of ruining peoples perfect grades records. I got out with a B. NOT RECCOMENDED!

Take this class if you want no homework and don't mind listening to her read off the slides. She'll like you if you ask Q's and share your opinions. Don't be late to class either. She's nice as a person but as a teacher, I DO NOT recommend. Tests were easy and make sure to review your notes often. Don't buy the textbook if you're not gonna use it.

I really enjoyed my class with Deepti. She is excited and passionate about the material. She provided the slides prior to class so you could print them out and not have to try to scribble down every word she said. She offered study guides before tests.She did expect that you would do the work (no surprise there) and was challenging but great.

Deepti is very easy. Her Psych 100 class was extremely easy. All of the information you needed to know are all on her powerpoints which are uploaded on canvas. The only thing that is hard is that your grade only consists of 4 POP quizzes, and a midterm, and a final. So if you do bad on those, your grade is going be bad.

I would say that Deepti has helped me engage with the subject at a deeper level. I felt that her teaching helped allow for high student participation through great class discussions and in readings of articles that are relevant to current research in the field. In addition, the role of culture in influencing development is explored greatly.

Has a slight accent but not too bad. If you ask a question however you typically get a snappy answer back so she can be pretty rude at times, and discussion are impossible because she's always right and your opinion doesn't matter. Tests are incredibly easy, all multiple choice and taken with a partner.

The instructor was very organized and communicated very well. The instructor selected excellent readings to supplement our textbook. I especially enjoyed the wealth of TedTalks we were required to watch. The instructor was also very mindful and sensitive to the different backgrounds and ideologies that her students possessed.

The course was well organized in the modules section on canvas. Clear communication and understanding of life circumstances. Each week she provided a suggested timeline of completing the week's content that helped a lot with prioritizing what to work on first.

Her lecture videos are amazing, and a very helpful way of feeling like an in-person class. The visual learning in the videos and FREE textbook is also very helpful. I really appreciate the feedback that shows a good amount of attention is given to my submissions and the way the instructor communicates this feedback is easily interpreted.

This class was set up in a great organized way on Canvas, and everything was easy to follow. I liked reading the content and then getting the lecture videos with other TED videos that helped make the unit module for that week. The instructor did send a lot of emails to me about assignments' reminders, which were helpful. I loved this class!

Canvas site was very well organized and easy to navigate. I also really appreciated the heads-up messages in my canvas inbox when assignments were due, since I am frequently prone to forgetting about deadlines. The weekly study schedule suggestions were a great help for me, since they provided me a groundwork to help schedule my other classes' HW.

Professor Karkhanis is a tough teacher because she has high expectations and a heavy workload. It's nice to have a professor who demonstrates a high standard, it makes me a better student and increases my abilities. I enjoyed the course content a lot. She provided many resources (readings, videos, practice quizzes, etc.).

I thoroughly enjoyed the variety of assignments and the consistent schedule. Ms. Deepti assigned a low-cost web text, discussions, mini quizzes & more. It wasn't exactly the same thing every time which I liked. I also liked how consistent her schedule was with the readings and quizzes because it was manageable and you still learned a lot.

Amazing professor. Gives good instructions on each assignment and states her expectations clearly. Very reachable outside of class. An amazing textbook keeps you engaged and only one discussion a week with a small 5 questions quiz for participation points. Everything is sorted very nicely, this professor has everything together for online classes.

I especially liked the fact that we were given a recommended calendar to follow for all assignments of a week, it was very helpful/reasonable for me to pace myself & make sure everything was done on time.

Dr. Karkhanis is a great professor. As long as you take notes and read the text, it's an easy A class because she wants you to succeed. She will help you if you need it and she can be lenient if she can tell you're trying and you're not taking advantage of her. She's tech savvy as well and responds to emails swiftly.

She's accessible and a great teacher, but strict with deadlines. Absolutely no extensions. The class consists of an online textbook with incorporated questions and weekly quizzes, and 3 "final exams" that incorporate all learned so far. If you do the readings, watch the short TedEd quizzes and consistently look back on your notes, you'll do fine!

This class isn't hard, but many assignments feel overly tedious and often ask for more personal information than I expected. Feedback can be unclear, so it's hard to know why points were taken off. Overall manageable, but the assignment style can be frustrating.
