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.
She is a really good teacher and she is very knowledgable in her field!!
loved this class... easy to pay attention, makes class interesting.. just take all the notes and it will be a breezeee
A must take for stats. Stats is hard to begin with, but Dr. K actually makes it fun. The labs really help you understand the topic. Exams are hard, but she is helpful during office hours and via email. Do yourself a favor and register for her stats class.
Prof K rocks. At first you think you could get away with stuff because she looks young, but she's no pushover! I learned the hard way. Good class.
Great professor--great class. I didn't think that I was going to like psychology, but Dr. K makes it so interesting. This is my favorite class.
I like her. I just found it hard to pay attention becaue she's beautiful
she loves what she does and it shows. truly an awesome teacher.
All you have to say is that she is the best professor at NYIT. Helpful, knowledgeable, fuuny, respectful. Strict when it comes to paying attention and attending class.
Young, beautiful, but hard as hell.
She should teach every psych course at NYIT. If she can make stats easy to understand, you know she's a good teacher.
Dr. K was the best professor I had at NYIT. I graduated in May and will miss her classes. She not only knows so much about her field, but was very helpful when it came to questions about graduate school. I tried to take as many of her classes as I could. Keep on doing what you do, Dr. K!
She is sooo freakin hard. She makes you take online quizzes, gives you tons of hw, and has these ridiculously hard exams everyone fails (and no she doesn't curve). She got angry at us and made us write up a paper. You need a freakin 96 to get an A...so good luck with that!
Her class is demanding, but it is very interesting. This woman knows a lot! She is fine as long as you read, keep up with the work, and participate in class. She helped me a lot during office hours. If you do the work, you'll be fine. Also, my peer mentor is very helpful. I would recommend her.
I wouldn't care if I learned nothing in her class. She is just so freaking nice to look at that I would take her classes for that reason alone.
Professor Karafantis is more than just nice to look at. She's the whole package--beautiful, smart, has a great sense of humor, and can teach anything. Take as many of her classes as you can.
Best professor I have ever had. I transferred from Hofstra and I'm so glad I did. I wish more profs were like Karafantis.
Without a doubt the best professor I have had. I wish I could take her for every single class. She wont give you a grade unless you earn it. if you put in effort you'll do fine but don't think you can breeze through her classes. She loves her subject and her passion shows. she's fun and attractive and is the best teacher you can take anywhere
love her, Love Her, LOVE HER!
She is sassy, smart, and attractive. The best professor anyone can have. She knows what she is talking about and will make you laugh in the processes of you learning the material. She makes the time in class pass quickly and with out a doubt she makes any subject matter fun. Stay on her good side and you can get far in her class?I would marry her
Karafantis is the freakin best teacher ever!!!!!
Dr. K--please start teaching accounting classes cause you are the best professor i've ever had! By far the best--funny as hell and can teach psych like a pro. Very easy on the eyes too.
Beautiful green eyes. She always smelled so good too!Good class on prejudice.
Karafantis, where have you been all my life?!
Dam Karafantis how many dirtbags did you give good grades to write all these wonderful comments. Your a fun teacher but dam youve got 26 students licking your feet over here. Unless their all you :D
by far the best (and hottest) prof i have ever had. definitely recommend.
awesome, awesome teacher. take her for EVERYTHING you can. and she always wears THE best shoes!
I took her for stats. Can't even believe how clearly she explained concepts. Once I graduate in May I'm proposing. Oh yeah Karafantis!
by far the best prof i've had at this school. she's awesome. i may propose when i graduate too karafantis!
The most beautiful person both inside and out. I am a better person for having had Dr. K. Love you Karafantis!
Dr. K is an awesome professor. Her teaching style is very clear and funny at the same time. But, she demands a lot from her students. She wants you to succeed but and won't let you slack in her class. I def recommend her for all psych classes.
I've got it bad, got it bad, got it bad.....I'M HOT FOR TEACHER! Awesome professor.
Took this class last year, very good teacher. Extremely interesting class to be in, she is so funny and sexy. Worth your time. Pretty tough tests but read what she says and you'll be golden.
This class is really interesting and will be easy to understand if you keep up with the textbook reading. She only gives 2 exams and the 1st one wasnt so difficult if you studied the notes that was given during the powerpoint. I recommend this Professor to anyone!
One of the best professors at NYIT. Just make certain you do the reading between classes.
Best psych professor at tech. She's my Karafantasy lol haha
Greatest professor I have ever taken! Just make sure you do your readings before each class because if you don't answer her questions, she will leave and you have to teach yourself. But if you keep up, she makes everything so much fun! (: I'd take any class she teaches in a heartbeat! Highly recommend!
She is so smart and so intriguing that I would love to just sit and pick her brain for hours! She cracks me up to. She comes off sarcastic but has a genuine concern for her students probably because she's young (and gorgeous). I would take any class she teaches.
I've taken a lot of her classes and none of them are easy. But ive learned the most from her then any other professor here.
Karafantis is the best teacher at Tech. I love her. She connects with all her students. She has an awesome personality and she just rips on her students constantly and helps them to such a great extent. She will sit with you for hours and help you if you cant figure something out. youll take as many classes as you can with her after the first class
Karafantis is smart and beautiful. Dayum! Good class.
Karafantis i'm officially in love with you. interesting class even though students can be annoying bc the class is big.
take her for stats if you want to understand anything. Hard course but she teaches it well.
Best prof here. I registered for 2 of her classes for the fall. Def take at least 1 class with her!
Dr.K made me a better person she taught me so much things I will carry in my psych career & inspired me in so many ways. I will truly miss her when I graduate in May I recommend her if you want the best nobody compares to her this comment section is not big enough to do her justice. HER HEELS ALWAYS ON POINT:)-with love your Roosevelt gangbanger
I've never loved a prof more than Karafantis. Great personality and always keeps you interested.
Best prof without a doubt. Beautiful.
Amazing professor ! loved the class
Karafantis' teaching style is the best. Take her seminar. Looks like that prototypical hot prof when she wears her glasses.
Violence is the first class I've taken with her but I love Karafantis. Best professor hands down.
Karafantis I love you! Made the class so much fun. Best class i've taken at tech.
Love Dr. K even though I hate stats. Great professor. Very smart and very beautiful.
2nd seminar I took with Dr. K. Love how she teaches.
Can't say enough about Dr. Karafantis. Interesting, funny, smart and hot. Best professor I've taken.
Take Karafantis for stats. I took it first with another professor who I won't say and I had to withdraw. I took it again with Karafantis and it was so much better. She's freaking hilarious.
I don't know how this professor has a high level of easiness. She explains everything only once then goes on to the next thing and you are nobbing your head like you get it but do not! She is kind but the class is very very difficult. Lots of material and does things at her own level of understanding, not yours.
Overall, she is a great professor she is funny and makes you understand the lecture however, when it comes down to the test she tends to reword things differently to trick you. She isn't an easy grader.
Karafantis teaches a hard class but I think she does a good job. If you don't want to read and don't want to study find someone else to take the class with. She's the only prof I've had in college to give a review sheet for an exam.
Really great
Dr. Karafantis is great. Class is hard not gonna lie but awesome professor. Keeps class in check which u will appreciate.
Awesome teacher!!! Good amount of work and readings. Participation's important. Shes a tough grader but if you do all your work you will be fine.
She's just amazing take her take her take her!!
Best Professor I've ever taken
She's cool. She is very sarcastic so do not take her seriously. She helps during the test if you have 1-2 questions. She is strict but a great teacher. She will call you a turd or jackass if you are not paying attention.
No one at tech can do teaching as well as Dr. K. She's helpful, guides you well, and grades very fairly. If ever given the opportunity to take a class with her, I would definitely recommend it. 3 classes later, and I couldn't be happier!
Loved her! Don't think I would of passed Stats if she wasn't my professor. She teaches very well and is very helpful and understanding. Definitely take her!
Absolutely love her! Her grades are fair. Rarely gives extra credit, but you will pass her exams if you study. There's only three all semester. She is extremely funny and sarcastic, her personality is the coolest. You will never get bored in her lectures. Stay off your phones though! She will call you out and embarrass you (rightfully so).
Horrible professor. I studied a lot, came to every class. She still gave me a D. Wouldn't let me use laptop even though i was using it for notes. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND AT ALLLLL!!!!
Class is based on three tests so if you fail on one you better do good on the others and pray for a C plus. Study the vocabulary even though she tells you not too, or else you'll fail. Pay attention in class
if you're looking for a professor who is going to help you succeed, Dr. Karafantis is the one to have. She wants nothing but the best for all her students. Very fair and very respectable. Yes, her classes are difficult but well worth all the information you will actually remember.
Best professor I have ever had!
Best professor. Study her review sheets! She is very straightforward and prepares you for exams, but make sure to study everything she gives you. She is a tough grader for labs, but getting an A in her class is very possible.
Great professor
She is so nice and a great professor! Her lectures are really detailed and helpful. She gives so many examples to make sure we understand the topic. Her tests are based on the review sheet she gives, make sure you know it. Would definitely recommend her! You would love her. She curses out at her times and it's hilarious.
She is very nice, but her class is very boring and her tests are hard. Would not retake.
This is my favorite class and I'm a science major. Learning about mental illness is the most interesting but all topics apply to real life. If I had more general electives I would take another class with her.
she is a great teacher really easy to understand / helpful with concepts but gives really hard test if you don't go to class or pay attention you are gonna fail horribly
The best professor I have had. Her prejudice seminar was very informative and fun. She cares about her students and is not afraid to bring up controversial topics to challenge you. A lot of little papers and reading.
She's honestly one of the best professors I've had and would definitely take her again. Her powerpoints are straightforward, but what really counts are the examples she gives during the lectures. Many of the questions on her tests are similar to the examples, so definitely show up to class and pay attention. Very funny and really recommend!
Karafantis is one of the best professors I've ever had. She taught Stats in a way that was clear and easy to understand and everyone in my class was able to do well. If you study the review sheets and do the HW and labs, an A is not hard to get. Take Karafantis any chance you get.
Dr. Karafantis is awesome! She truly is one of the best professors at NYIT. She makes her class engaging, funny, and really cares to see her students understand the material. She is such a wonderful person and she should teach every single class at NYIT because she's that great! You must pay attention in class to do well, but she is soooo great.
Karafantis is the best professor at NYIT!! She truly cares about the students and wants everyone to do well in the class. Not only that but she really makes class fun. She will give you review sheets for the tests but expects participation during review sessions. Participate!!! I would take her again 100%.
Dr. Karafantis is an amazing professor. She took the time to make all of her lectures very interesting and memorable. I loved her so much. I got a perfect A in her class. I really wish I get to take her again in the future. As long as you study well and pay attention in class, you should be good to get an A in her class. It's a wonderful experience
Prof. Karafantis is extremely sweet, hilarious, and caring! Just make sure to pay attention and write down what she says bc her slides don't help much. You don't need the textbook at all, just study from your lecture notes and you should be fine. Definitely one of the best professors 100%
I have never heard of someone who would put you down for trying to ace a course like her. I love reading which she made us read a lot. Towards the end, she will threat you by an email to not write without reading. And at the end, you're gonna write about a story and weirdly use different resources, but again write about the story. like huh?!
Dr. Karafantis is so funny and a really smart professor. She is extremely knowledgable in her field and if you're going into psych as a major, she expects you to know your stuff. Just don't get on her bad side, otherwise she might make fun of you in class. She is always willing her help her students and is around for office hours.
Pay attention in class and take good notes, will help you a lot. Gives review sheets for the tests. Textbook is semi useful, don't necessarily need it but good to have it. 2 exams plus a final, no midterm. Exams are straightforward and based on the powerpoints so take good notes. 6-8 page paper on a book, book is interesting so makes the paper easy
i took the class over zoom and it was okay. shes very knowledgeable and really funny as well. pay attention in the lectures and slides because that's all u really need for the exams. u do a reaction paper to each documentary u watch (which is only 2), one final paper, and 3 exams (1 of them being the final this semester). pretty straightforward.
Honestly, the best professor I ever had. She teaches in a way to help you retain the information very well. If you pay attention studying should come very easy. No surprises on the exam just listen to what she says and understand it. Memorization is not going to help you must UNDERSTAND. She's available for office hours so use that time well.
"a model of clarity" memorize everything on the study sheets and u will finish the test in 20 minutes or less
These ratings are very misleading. She is a very cantankerous woman
Reviews are highly misleading, each test worth 25% and are extremely difficult as the questions are highly wishy washy. No clear cut answer to a question that have 2+ acceptable options. Is not open to having discussions on the validity of her questions. Headstrong and very strict. Do yourself a favor and take the other psychology professor.
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.
Dina has a high ego and tends to be rude when asking questions. The whole class despises her lack of sympathy towards students.
EXTREMELY RUDE!! Do yourself a favor and do NOT take her class.
Idk y but she loves to talk about her children instead of teaching the class. Gets off topic and cancels class without promptly notifying us.
Disregard the ratings that glaze her with a 5 star, cuz most of them are fake. She writes those ratings herself.
If you're looking forward to having a professor that is on a bad mood and gets annoyed easily, then Dina should be good for you
impolite and goes off on a tangent during lecture hours.
She is a professor who will show up late to class then lecture anybody who has walked in late for being late.
extremely rude & inconsiderate...
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.
