Amazing class!! There is a book, but she covers everything you need to know in lecture so not needed. 5 easy online hw; 4 are based off a movies. 2 tests (midterm and final) (final not cumulative). If you go to class and pay attention you will get an A. She provides power points, but there is some missing info, so complete them in class

She is amazing! I come from a family with a long line of military service and I have been looking forward to taking this class for awhile now. She didn't disappoint. GO TO CLASS! The stories she tells are important for the tests and just interesting in general. You will not regret taking it. 5 online assignments, midterm, and final (not cumulative)

Dr. Kraft is seriously amazing. She is respected, has awesome lectures, and great stories. Everything she covers in lecture is fair game for tests, including her stories. This class was super easy. The homework is easy, and doesn't require a lot of work. She gives out extra credit and is an easy grader. I got a 99% in the class.

This is a remarkable instructor with years of experience in the field. You're being lectured by someone who has lived the subject matter. Definitely take her class. Her experience takes the theory out of the book and makes it real. Don't let attendance not required fool you. Absolutely need to be there in order to earn an A.

She's amazing. If you want an A, go to class. She tells stories, and those stories are on her tests. I loved going to class, so it's really not that difficult to show up and get an A.

Awesome lecture, tests are fair, definitely can get an A! Interesting material and very useful when it comes to understanding mental disorders and getting rid of stigmas!

I'm a SOC major so i decided to take this course bc it seemed interesting. So glad I did! EASY A! Go to every lecture, complete the online assignments and two non cumulative tests and your done! She gives E.C. too! Make sure you go to lecture because the tests are based only on lecture! TAKE HER CLASS, YOU WON'T REGRET IT! SHE'S THE BEST!

Professor Kraft was awesome. I loved her stories she shared with the class, they really drove home the main points of what we were learning. Not a lot of homework assignments, homework was easy and only 2 tests the entire semester! Tests were based off lectures, so take good notes. You need the book for the access code in order to complete assign's

Dr. Kraft is a wonderful teacher. There is nothing ambiguous about the courses layout. She genuinely wants everyone to pass, just make sure to go to class! The stories she tells in class are on the exams.

Dr. Kraft is a passionate & knowledgeable teacher. Grade is 2 tests & 5 online assignments (mostly watching movies/videos/reading short articles). Tests are very straight forward, and she tells you exactly what you need to know to pass them. Go to class! Powerpoints are fill-ins. Overall great teacher who wants you to do well, highly recommend!

By far the best class I've taken at SDSU. Kraft is the sweetest and she knows whats she's talking about. The class is extremely easy and she gives like 25 points of extra credit which helps a ton. A few easy homework assignments throughout the semester and two exams. Overall, I would 10/10 recommend this class. This class really opens your eyes!

Dr. Kraft is an amazing person and professor who's passion shines through her work and lectures. She is very understanding, knowledgeable, and compassionate. Her class is very straightforward. Just pay attention, do the assignments, and attend lecture. The lectures are very interesting and open to discussion. There are two exams and five assignment

Doctor Kraft is the most inspirational lecturer. She's knowledgable, understanding, and genuinely wants everyone to understand the material. She does not make anything ambiguous. There are two exams and five movie/article assignments. Attend lecture as her stories are on the exams. Her lectures engage you enough to retain information without force.

If you do anything during your time at SDSU, take this class! Dr. Kraft is absolutely amazing. Shes passionate, knowledgeable, and such a down to earth person. The class is easy if you show up and listen. Theres a couple tests and a few simple movie assignments. TAKE THIS CLASS! You wont regret it

2 non-cumulative tests, and a few online assignments based off of videos. Her tests are based off of class discussions, so make sure you show up! Very sweet and caring woman in general, and genuinely wants you to perform well in the class.

Dr. kraft is one of the best professors ever! I took her for PSY 407 (Health psychology) and she is great! Mini assignments every week until the paper is due (end of semester). 2 non-cumulative tests. Extra credit opportunities. She has amazing stories and I would take her for any class! love her

Amazing teacher and person in general. Highly recommend taking her class. Tests are not made to be confusing as long as you know the general main ideas you will get an A in this class.

Best professor I have had at sdsu. I took her 353 class last semester and 407 class this semester. She really just wants everyone to do well. She has some amazing stories and can always relate them to what is being taught. Definitely would recommend her class to anyone.

Such an inspirational and charismatic person! Loved her! She is the best person to teach abnormal psych because she has the ultimate experience in this area, her stories were amazing. Must go to class to really understand the material and read the book! She tells stories she includes in exams as a way to do participation, and offers extra credit.

Amazing professor. She really cares about her students & how they understand the material. Her lectures consist of her lecturing with allowing students to ask questions which made it more interesting. Exams are definitely fair. Just student and review, complete the health behavior entries every week and you're set! She also offers some extra credit

I loved Dr. Kraft! She showed up to class every morning with a beautiful smile on her face and she seemed excited to lecture. Although she does get distracted during discussions, I feel she does it because she actually cares about what her students have to say. She seems passionate and very knowledgeable. Definitely take her, you won't regret it.

Honestly, I love her so much. She is my favorite professor at SDSU! Her personality and lectures made me want to go to class every day, and going to lecture means you won't need the book because her explanations are so on-point. She makes sure that the test are doable and drops any questions that seemed difficult. Assignments were easy too!

Dr. Kraft is an amazing professor, especially for this course because she is a veteran. Her class is enjoyable and the way she teaches makes you want to attend even though attendance isn't mandatory. I absolutely loved this course, which she wrote by the way. I think everyone should take this course if they are a Psychology major. 10/10

I have never loved a professor more than I love Dr. Kraft. The work she is doing is changing the world and having the chance to learn from her has been so amazing. As far as the class goes, there are about 4 out of class short essays and 2 exams that won't stress you out because you will enjoy the info. Just take this. You won't regret it.

Professor Kraft is amazing! Her lectures are never boring! Definitely show up to lecture because 75% of the exam questions are based only on lecture notes & stories that she tells during class. She doesn't post lecture power points on blackboard, there's weekly quizzes online, and there's only a midterm & a final which are also online. Easy A!

Dr. Kraft is an amazing professor, I took her for an 8am class, It was a pleasure waking up early to go to that class. IF you are on the fence between two classes, choose this one you won't regret it.

hands down best professor at sdsu. take her class. take all of them. not only are her lectures interesting and engaging, but you WILL get an A with minimal effort. rare combo. tests are easy and she offers a bunch of extra credit. just make sure you go to class cause she tells stories that are on the tests

Very knowledgeable in Ab psych. Class is engaging with open class discussion. Exams & quizzes are online. One short paper. Lots of EC. Attendance is not mandatory but you r a fool to missed her amazing lectures & it will be on the tests. If your goal is to learn you should study & show up in class. Those who says easy A, admitted to be a cheater.

2 tests, 5 assignments, 50 points EC. I got a low D on the midterm and a high C on the final. Passed with an A-. Super easy, class is very common sense and i never showed up to class ever.

One of the best professors I've ever had. She's super chill; GREAT personality. Lectures are really interesting. I learned so much. She's such a calming person. I felt the stress leaving my body when I was in her class Her tests are straightforward and her assignments are short. Reasonable professor. I wish I didn't have to leave. TAKE HER!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE this professor she is so amazing!! My 2nd time taking this professor first time was for health psych. Test are not hard, she likes to tell stories that relate to lectures and a few do show up on the test so try to go to class if you can. She gave 2 extra credit opportunities and 2 paper assignment she is not a tough grader at all!

I took her for abnormal and health psych and loved her. Classes were supposed to be MWF, but she gives you an online assignment on Fridays instead of class. She has amazing stories in her lectures from real life experience. The only tests are a midterm and final so that kind of sucks because its a ton of information. Should be getting an A in both.

Dr. Kraft is my favorite professor at SDSU! Her lectures are always exciting and engaging, and she really encourages students to ask questions and engage. Both exams were pretty fair, assignments aren't bad at all and she gives lots of extra credit. Two movie assignments were great at reinforcing material without being boring.

If you get a chance to take her class, do it. She's an amazing professor who provides wonderful stories during lectures, which are super straight forward. Her HW criteria is clear and easy to finish. Her tests are simple and she doesn't try to trick her students - she tells you what she expects and what will generally be included on them. TAKE HER

I never went to any of Kraft's classes except for the first day, the midterm and the final and I still passed with a B+. If that doesn't say anything about the professor then I don't know what will. Study off the student generated study guides for her stories and study the powerpoints Kraft posts and you'll be golden- take it from me ;)

Same person here from her PSY 407 class that never went to class except the first day, midterm, and final. As usual, study off the student generated study guides for Kraft's stories followed by the PPTs on blackboard. Easiest class of my l i f e.

Kraft is an angel. Only a midterm, final, online HW, and some EC. She genuinely cares about her students & has awesome stories, I was never bored in class and was sad when I missed. Her tests are straightforward and she reviews before so you can study what you need to. The info is interesting and she is the best. More teachers should be like her

Honestly one of the best professors Ive had at SDSU. Her lectures are engaging and interesting and the way her class was structured made it enjoyable and doable especially during covid times. It was my favorite class of the semester, wish I could have taken her class in person!

One of the best professors I've had at state! Also one of the easiest classes I've ever taken. 4 quizzes, a paper, and some small assignments that are basically always 100% if you do them. She grades very leniently and really just wants you to succeed. She really cares about her students and health psychology and it shows. Def recommend!!!

Shes the best! With COVID she spilt her tests to 4 quizzes , offers extra credit and she records her lectures for those who cant attend. I attended every class bc I really enjoy her! Her quizzes are straight forward and easy! Very easy going class I would take her again!

This was by far the easiest class I've ever taken. The material was really easy to understand. The tests were based on her lecture slides as as long as you took good notes the tests were fairly simple. If you even want to call them tests, they were more like 4 small quizzes. One paper and you only had to do 2 out of 4 discussion boards. LOVE HER!!!

This course is very simple and organized, 4 major quizzes and 1 final paper that you work on weekly throughout the semester. Dr. Kraft is amazing and ensures students understand the material, she also offers extra credit! Course content is very interesting and easy to understand.

Dr. Kraft is an amazing woman. Not only is her background interesting, but her passion for teaching is incredible. This class has been my favorite in my entire college career. She has so many stories of her personal experiences that relate to the lectures. The homework is very practical for the course. Best professor I've ever had!

She is just amazing. I would take this class again if I could. Exams are based off of lectures, but you'll enjoy attending.

I love Dr. Kraft!! She is an amazing and extremely knowledgeable professor who brings her personal stories into class in really great ways. If you can take this class, it is amazing and will change your perspective on military psych!

Man I do not know where to start, Dr. Kraft is simply one of the best professor I have ever had. I enjoyed her class so much and her stories, she the reason why I want to become a Psychologist now, she inspired me so much. you will not regret taking her class at all!!!!!

cant say enough good things about Dr Kraft & her class (esp PSY353)! i want to specialize in trauma psychology and the way she structures this class is so beneficial in learning more about PTSD and additionally the military population. She brings in her real stories as a military clinical psychologist and really gives you an appreciation for class

I have nothing but positive things to say about Professor Kraft. Not only is she one of the most inspiring, intelligent people I have ever met, but her lectures also made me want to wake up early for an 8 am class just so I could listen to her stories. It is not a difficult class if you listen. I wish I could retake the class it's that great! xo

The most amazing professor you will ever have! I have take 4 classes with her and they all are equally amazing! Do not pass up the chance to take a class with her! She makes learning easy and truly cares about her students and her lectures are full of stories that help you learn! If she taught more courses i'd take them in a heartbeat!

Amazing professor! She is a really good lecturer and speaker. Very well respected and fair. Everything on the exams are in the slides and the review sessions with TAs are really helpful for knowing exactly what will be on the exam.

I never do ratings but I had to give one to Dr Kraft because she is amazing! She is so passionate about the subject and has never had a boring lecture. Easy and interesting assignments as well as tests that are exactly on what she teaches. 100% definitely recommend!!!!!

By far the best professor I have ever taken. Lectures are clear and engaging and tests are straight forward. Assignments don't feel like busy work and you genuinely feel cared for and respected as a student. Truly an amazing person and professor!

easy class, love her empathy and caring for her studentts.

I loved her class and she is able to make hard-to-understand material (like neuropsych) easy to understand. :)

Mrs.kraft is such a good proff.! She makes the fact that you matter to her very adamant. Her lectures are easy to understand and the TA's are very accessible if you have questions.

Awesome, easy, fun, interesting. Don't have to go to lecture but they aren't boring if you do. 3 midterms, no final, 4 easy reflections, and bi-weekly 10-question quizzes you can retake as many times as you want. Take this class!

Such an easy class. All tests and quizzes are online. On quizzes you get several attempts. The lectures all feel like common sense. Its overall very simple and if you want an easy A this is it. The professor is nice and wants everyone to have an A.

There are only 3 exams, no final, 4 reflections (which are easy), and bi-weekly 10-question quizzes you can retake as many times as you want. The information in this class is common sense. The professor is great, and there isnt much to worry about. Take the class if you need it for GE, its so easy

such a sweet lady and she tells great stories in class. no class Fridays just online quiz and as long as you have all the notes you have everything you need for the tests and quizzes. the question are directly off the slide shows. word for word.

One of the best professors I've ever had! She makes class incredibly interesting and engaging by sharing her experiences and examples of the topics we covered. Psych353 overall is very easy, she emphasizes most of the course on PTSD in military/veterans. All quizzes are online and very easy if you attend class and take good notes.

I've taken this professor twice for different courses, she is amazing! Everything is straight forward, there are no exams in PSY495, attend class and show up for your placement. There's a group presentation at the end, but it's just talking abt your placement. I'd highly recommend this course for anyone wanting to gain experience for their field!

No exams, but some HW. Most of the work done is at your internship placement. You only meet 1x a week for this class for attendance and a short lecture. There's a group presentation to recap your internship experience at the end of the semester. This is a great class if you want to gain internship experience in your specific field of psychology!

professor is nice and good at lecturing. be sure to show up if you want to do well--she does not record lectures and tests are lecture based. pretty interesting class to take if you are interested in stress or military culture

took 350 this fall, Dr K is informative and gives good lectures on different topics ranging ptsd to mood disorders etc. as well she was accommodating to me as i'm a deaf student, she uses lockdown browser for exams, gives review sesh from TA's! genuinely liked this class lots that wish there was 350 pt 2! take her or this psy class if able !!

Dr. Kraft is very nice and knowledgeable in this topic. There are four tests that are medium difficulty and each question is worth 5 points which gets risky. There are a few papers but they are very straightforward and easy (she does not grade harshly either). Pay attention to her stories! They're on the tests so take thorough notes in class.

Fantastic professor! I took her over the summer online, and her lectures / slides were clear and amazing. Classwork consisted of 4 exams + 5 papers. The questions are straightforward, and the papers are easy to write. I learned so much and never found myself bored. Her personal stories really make the course shine (and they're on exams too!)

Kraft was the best professor I had at SDSU. Her widespread experience is inspirational and I love how much she cares about her students and wants them to succeed. It is a shame that not all professors are like Kraft! 20/10 experience in PSY 353 & PSY407

4 quizzes online, 2 film assignments, and one weekly assignment. The assignments are simple and always less than a page of writing. The quizzes are based on lectures so showing up is important. Class is super interesting and she has great stories. One of my favorite classes!

Dr. Kraft is definitely one of my favorite professors at SDSU. She makes class very interesting with all her stories she tells. Grade is based on 4 online quizzes, weekly assignments, and 2 papers. Quizzes are very straightforward. I suggest attending class as some of the stories she tells are on the quizzes. Easy A if you put in the effort.

The way she communicates things doesn't feel like she's regurgitating something she read in a book, she talks through experiences/anecdotes. Just attend (or not), take notes, do ur assignments, and take short tests. Easy class because she makes learning easy. I have ADHD and barely needed to study much as I got it right away.

Dr. Kraft is one of the most knowledgeable psych professors I've taken so far. She has countless personal stories about almost every disorder that is gone over in the class. 4 exams none get dropped, 2 short essays and weekly one page responses. You can tell she really wants students to get a good grasp of the topics she goes over. Great professor.

Dr. Kraft is amazing! The class is easy to follow with just the lectures- they're crucial to go to since her stories show up on tests. She's very entertaining. There are some small assignments and 2 essays, but they are engaging.

Kraft is awesome; she has so many experiences to pull from (attend lectures because her personal anecdotes will be on the test and aren't on the posted slides). Folks in this class tend to ask a lot of questions which is slightly annoying as it's 500 person class and can get off task. Other than that, easy and interesting class.

Dr. Kraft's class was amazing. Her lectures are so interesting and never a dull moment. She cares about her students learning, understanding concepts and passing her course. Her exams were straight forward, and her assignments were based on lectures and notes. I would take her class again!

I think her reviews speak numbers. She is the most inspirational professor on campus and an overall bada$$. I suggest everyone, no matter what major you are, should take her.

Class structure of 4 exams and a few short (1.5 pg) written assignments. Would've had an A but I missed one assignment due date bc they were due at 8pm instead of 11:59pm. Watch out for those due dates. Exams are online (no recording) and I never attended class. GG!

She knows what she's talking about. Shares her experiences, and these will be on the exams. We did our tests online on a lockdown browser, but we don't have class the days of the exam. We had 2 papers that were based on 2 movies and weekly writing assignments. She is one of the best professors I've had at state! I highly recommend taking her class.

dr. kraft is one of the best professors i've taken. she lectures amazingly & provides some of her stories into the topic that makes the lecture more intriguing. she is very inspiring and i plan on taking her again on other courses she teaches. all quizzes/exams are online, but by using lockdown browser. you definitely need to pay attention in class

She's always so invested in the lectures she was giving. She gives clear answers when asked a question. Her passion for the topic shows in every lecture. Everyone in that lecture hall was paying attention and asking questions, thats how you know she is a great teacher.I have not experienced that in any other of my college courses. Take her courses!

Fun and straightforward assignments. Two short papers which are both on movies and she grades them well. Has so many stories from her experiences in the military. Great course to take.

Dr. Kraft is one of the best professors in the psyc department! 4 quizzes, 2 papers, and packback assignments. First two quizzes were online w/ respondus no camera but made it to in person because average was high. TA's did quiz review sessions. Her personal stories are on the quiz so it's important to pay attention and come to class!

When I think of an ideal professor, this is who comes to mind. She is entertaining, educating, and eloquent. She works hard to answer questions, and help you develop a strong understanding of the material. She does her best to support her students and make sure they are being supported.

Class consists of 4 quizzes (multiple choice) and 5 papers (1.5 pages each). Dr. Kraft is a great lecturer and provides many case studies as well as personal experiences to aid with content. She is also super nice and great at answering questions. Lectures are also easy to follow and all slides are posted on canvas.

Professor Kraft is one of the best professors I have ever had! Her lectures are so interesting and applicable. Gives real-life examples from her clinical work & I feel like I actually understand course material. Her exams are clear & directly related to course material.The only reason I got a B is because I did not study enough. Highly recommend!
