She knows what she is talking about when it comes to the knowledge of Psychology but she has no idea how to present it. She has you watch videos constantly when the packets really don't have much to do with the tests, her powerpoint notes are useless since she doesn't want you to take notes on them and presents them too fast for you to anyway.

Her exams were not put on blackboard until 10am the morning it was due, and it was due at 10pm on this one certain day, but we are not required to log in on specific days? so if we didnt log in to see it that day, we just missed it

Pretty solid teacher in my book. She makes it very clear what is expected of you and if you do what is asked (which is not unrealistic) you can easily get an A in the class. Her lectures move fast but if you take notes on the book prior to class it isnt a problem. Not the friendliest teacher but Ill take knowledgable over friendly anyday.

Would take again

I'm currently taking my second course with prof. Kufskie. For PSYC151, I took my own notes using the book. We were allowed to use our notes on all exams. Definitely recommend taking the practice exams, a lot of the questions are similar to what's on the actual test. No big projects. If you think the workload is heavy, get yourself a planner.

She's SO difficult to deal with! She says she is accommodating and committed to helping students succeed, yet she repeatedly put me down for struggling academically when I came to her for help or w/concerns AND SHE'S NOT HELPFUL. Worst professor I've ever had hands down, words can't describe how terrible my experience has been with her.

I would not recommend this class unless you enjoy attending a physical class, wasting time, and doing all your learning outside class. She frequently complains more about her life outside of work than she teaches in the classroom. She wastes so much time on videos that we can watch on our own. This is an in-person online course, and it was terrible

She relied heavily on slides and lectures, never clarified what we needed to study, and only rephrased herself if asked to explain a concept. She often talked about personal problems during class then complained about the lack of time, and was not considerate for students, but had double standards for students to be understanding of her.

She doesn't answer your questions clearly. If you ever have a problem, she sends you away to someone else and doesn't help/ try to help you.

Absolutely awful. Avoid her at all costs. Hard to work with and scattered all over the place. Believe every single bad review she has on here, she's truly a pain.

This woman is the most passive-aggressive people I have ever met. I lost my father earlier in the semester and when I emailed her asking if I could have 3 in class sessions off for arrangements and such she refused stating I could only use 2. She is incapable of empathy of any sort I would not take her class if my life depended on it.

She likes to start arguments with students, so beware. You can use notes on tests but they have to be written. She never teaches you all the material you need to know in class, so homework and reading the online textbook are a must in order to follow along. I'd avoid her course like the plague, but that's just me.

This teacher is SO unorganized, and constantly complains about not having enough time to teach in class, yet she spends the first 20 minutes blabbering about her personal life. She also doesn't teach, she shows us slides that she made over a decade ago and reads off a book, she truly doesn't know what she's doing. She believes she CANT be wrong.

by far the worst teacher i have ever had. unorganized. ego up the roof, believes she can't be wrong.. and don't disagree with her bc she will come at you. you basically have to teach yourself in this class. there's a reason why she has the lowest rating in the entire psychology department…

Dr Kufskie likes to make people feel dumb for asking questions, she will humiliate you. Also… don't ask something that she has answered before because will come at you and accuse you of not paying attention in her class. I have more bad experiences with her than good ones. attendance is mandatory, you also need textbook.

professor was the worst to ever have! Does anything to teach the class by talking about her life. She will try and start an argument with students for no reason and will say how we don't pay attention in her class infront of everyone even tho she doesn't teach. by far the worst professor i've ever had wouldn't take again if you can avoid her do it!

She needs a psych evaluation herself. I have never seen such a hateful professor. She lacks the capacity for empathy and cannot teach. I learned everything from the textbook. She clearly has a lot of unresolved issues that she needs to deal with and stop taking it out on her students!

I took this class online and her instructions were not very clear. I would email her to try and get more clarification and she was so sassy with her responses. The emails were also no help. She would just repeat the same thing she original said in the announcements. I was constantly overwhelmed by the amount of textbook material and assignments!

Do Not Take Any Class With Her. The syllabus does not make sense, the calendar for class does not make sense and any attempt for help is met with a rude email. This professor also uses an outside source for class that you have to pay for on top of the class itself. HARSH grader and does not provide any helpful feedback.
