Professor K is tough in terms of making sure you read and that you pay attention in class, but her class is very interesting. She teaches things that are not in the textbook, so you have to come to class. Her knowledge of psychology is vast, and she speaks loud and clear so that you can hear her in the back of the lecture hall. Two thumbs up.

Exams are 99% out of the notes. No Paper! :-) Lectures do not last long, she just asks you to be respectful and participate. Honestly, if you can breathe and read, you will get at least a B+ in this course, and those special few that can actually make sense of the reading will get an A.

I wish i asked some fellow students before taking her class. She is a very harsh grader-wish she gave more assignments to help everyone in the class pass with the three tests grades. She was not understanding at all and just talked throughout the whole lecture and made it hard for students to pass the class. do yourself a favor and TAKE SOMEONEELSE

I wish I asked my fellow students before taking her class. Shes a very harsh grader and didn't care for her students to pass. The three test grades were your grade and didn't give any assignments to boost. Her lectures were very boring and long, so if you're not ready to learn everything on your own, do your yourself a favor and take SOMEONE ELSE.

Its intro to psyc, but questions seem very tough. In class goes very surface-level, but then questions go into super deep. All the past review are super misleading.

I have very nice professors throughout my life but this one OMG the worst. she was very harsh and i don't know how she got 80 5 stars. her test are so difficult and she makes it on purpose. her lecture are boring and you don't get that much of information from her slide. RUN AWAY if you see her as your professor.

She is strict with grading, even with multiple choice questions that are ambiguous. She takes attendance every lecture, and more than three absences result in a letter grade deduction. If you pay attention in class and take good notes, you'll be fine. Her exam questions are easy for the most part.

Dr. Karafantis is humorous, highly intelligent and demands the best out of each student. I find that if you follow what she wants, anyone with a modicum of intelligence and desire to be successful can be. This is especially true if you make use of the ample hours she is available to those who want to succeed.

The BEST! She is so knowledgeable about the subject and is always open to answering classes both in and outside of class. If you study and take good notes, the tests are a breeze. As long as you're respectful and pay attention in class, she is very fair. Would definitely take her class again.

Doesn't care about her students at all. This semester she missed so much class. The grades in this class only consist of 3 exams and 2 reaction papers and that's it.She doesn't assign any other work so it can be so hard to pass her class if you don't do well on her exams. Plus she has such an attitude. I don't know how she has so many good ratings

Prof. Karafantis is a real gem - funny, smart, and demanding, but if you put in the work, the class is very doable. unstuck study was a lifesaver for my study prep - highly recommend using it alongside your lecture notes.

Comes late during test day and informs the class late about class cancellations. She lowers your grade by a letter for being absent 3 times, and is very strict with grading.

I dont know why everyone is saying she is a bad prof, I had taken her last year as a BSDO. Her lectures were funny and she made sure everyone understood everything. The only time she would get upset is when people would walk in with 10 mins of class remaining, which is reasonable. She never cancelled class and was extremely consistent with tests.

Dr Karafantis is so funny during her lectures and always makes class so engaging as long as you pay attention and don't talk during class. As a BSDO who took the MCAT, I got a perfect score in the psych section because everything she taught was on the exam. If you are taking the MCAT I highly recommend taking this professor & class seriously.

Pretty straight forward class. I read a chapter of the textbook each week and answer 1 question out of 4 and write a paragraph as an answer. It's not too hard but not super easy either. I would highly recommend this class.
