Very difficult to understand! Lectures directly out of the book, only You have no idea what she is saying!
This professor is so willing to go out of her way to assist a student that one has to wonder what kind of student gave such a negative rating...did they ever talk to the instructor? Dr. Kee is excited about what she teaches, her accent is sometimes distracting, however she makes up for it with her enthusiasm, availability and willingness to help.
Dr. Kee is only hard if you do not come prepared. I agree that she is the most giving, enthuastic, and passionate instructor that I have had.
If you're looking for an easy A, Dr. Kee is not for you. She knows her psychology and she makes sure that you do too. She's very enthusiastic about her work- especially when she talks about "sexy data". She has a ridiculously busy schedule, however she still manages to stay available for extra help. And, she always has really good snacks!
What a great and caring instructor! This woman knows her stuff and wants to help you learn it. The high standards of her teaching methods combined with her passion for the subject matter and her compassion for the student make her one of the best professors in her field.
a good instructor who knows her stuff and makes class intersting, you will have to put in the study time to pass this class, but she does make the subject matter intersting
What at a knowledgeable and fun teacher. This teacher is caring and compassionate. If and when a student needs help, she is always there to help. She sometimes comes on Saturdays to give extra help when projects are due. Dr Kee-Rose is the best of the best!
A great and informative teacher. She always knows what she is talking about is very concerned about her students. This is the fifth class I have taken with her and I have enjoyed every single class.
No Comments
I was very excited to take this class becuase it seemed like something very interesting. It ended up that it was the worst class that I have ever taken in my college career. Kimmy Kee is the worst teacher I have ever had. She is impossible to understand, rushes through material, and is condescending and rude to those who don't understand.
Kudos to this professor. She will stretch your mind and make you work hard, but if you buck up to the challenge it will be the most rewarding experience in you quest for knowledge.
Hard to follow lectures, but is helpful if you go to office hours.
I have had Dr. Kee for Motivation, research, & Abnormal at CSUCI and she is the one of if not the most inspirational, helpful, uncouraging professors I have ever had. She has challenged me to better work, higher aspirations and has always been there for any help or clarification that I had required. Whoever thinks she is abusive is troubled!
This class was challenging because the material was boring. If it wasn't for Dr. Kee's enthusiasm the class would of sucked!. Dr. Kee did a wonderful job and she is willing to work with students through difficult times. Dr. Kee, no matter what any one else says, your awesome!!!
you have to work in this class, but Dr. Kee is a good teacher who works hard for her students and is willing to provide extra help if you want it.
Dr Kee is one of the only teachers that will go out of their way to help students. people who give her bad remarks are usually the students who do not show much effort in the class. as long as you show up to class and try hard she will do whatever it takes to help you out. great teacher and look forward to having her next semester.
Dr, Kee is one of the most amazing teachers i have ever come in contact with. She loves what she does and it shows! She is enthusiastic about every thing she teaches, and whole heartedly cares for her students. Dr. Kee makes you work hard, but always has words of encouragment to help along the way! you must work hard, U will learn & U will have fun
If she likes you, you'll have no problem doing well in her class. If she doesn't, you will. My first suggestion is to avoid taking any of her classes because she's a bad teacher. But if you must take her class, just get on her good side and you'll be fine.
Fantastic teacher - she is great!
As if taking this difficult class was bad enough, having an extremely rude professor made it even worse. Very difficult to understand. Does not follow her syllabus at all. Will not listen to you if you talk to her. I would never take a class with her ever again.
This professor is very passionate about teaching. She's AWESOME.
Kimmy Kee taught me in several courses. She's a great professor and the best of the best.
I like Dr Kee a lot. She is very passionate about what she does which makes the class bearable. Have perfect attendance, make sure she knows you want to go to grad school (even if you don't really), and get on her good side. If not, she will be a **** to you and make the class un-enjoyable for you.
You'll have nothing to worry about if you get on her good side, but if you aren't then it will be a bad semester =(. She is rude, not easy to understand, makes you feel dumb for asking questions, and gets frustrated when you don't understand. The group project was frustrating to do since she wouldn't clarify the guidelines. Won't take her for 301!
dont ask questions and you'll be fine. she likes participation as long as it is answering her questions, if you ask one she will make you feel very very stupid! easy grader but leaves every thing until the last month. dont take her clas unless you do well under stress
I dread going to her class. She makes you feel so stupid in front of the whole class, especially when she compares you to her 10 year old son. Her accent is rather thick and remains rude during office hours.
Dr. Kee is very passionate about the classes she teaches. As a student wanting to go to grad school she was very supportive and helpful. She goes out of her way to hold study sessions on Sundays before exams. Pushes her students to achieve so this is not a class for those who are slackers.
yes, she is sometimes hard to understand, but only when she gets excited and starts talking quickly. to get an A- go to class! she hates it when ppl are absent. she gives you study guides so you know exactly what to expect, and comes on sunday for study sessions. also- she actually knows what she's talking about.
Great instructor, infectiously enthusiastic about her topic and makes it interesting for those who want to learn.
I was fearful before taking her class because of all the comments. I found that she isn't that bad, but she isn't that great either. I thought the assignments and deadlines were more oraganized then I thought they would be. The ONE biggest thing that bothered me was her need to schedule things outside of class time. It was frustrating.
She's nice, but can turn on you rather quickly. She tried to get me to take her independent study class, but everyone who did that said, she got really mean after they joined. Well, I got into one of the top grad schools in the country without her aid.
Dr. Kee makes Stats as easy as she possibly can. She practically spoon feeds her students. She spends a huge amount of time and energy helping her students with their projects. She is very underappreciated by most students. Those leaving bad comments cannot get out of the way of their own ego. Grow up!
Great teacher! So passionate about psychology! She gives great study guides which tell you exactly how many questions of each chapter and what they will be. Always in her office helping students.
Dr. Kee knows her Psy and makes you enthusiastic about learning in her class. Exams are easy because of the study guide. Need to be prepared for class. Do all the homeworks/assignments and you will do great in her class!
You'll get a guaranteed A+ in this class if you go everyday, participate in your group study, and go to all the conferences. Easy class that helps you get involved with research and looks great for grad school applications.
She is a very expensive/emotional/passion teacher about this subject. She gives you all the tools you would need to pass her class. I got an A+, but it was using her study methods. Attend class and participate, she will help you in any way she can to pass her classes
This class was extremely hard and had a lot of work. But she made it easy and did everything she could to help us. Stay on top of your project and it will be an easy A. She hard on her students but she gives you all the resources you need to pass her class.
Dr. Kee is hard. She pushes you to the point of insanity! You work so hard but she is right there with you. She will put you to the test! I have a love hate relationship with her. If you show her that you are working hard, she will love you. I lived in the lab. Anyways, she is extremely smart and knows what she is doing.
Dr.Kee loves her research and she does like to push her students to the point of insanity. I don't recommend taking two of her classes at the same time. It is not that they are impossible, but they are a lot of work. She really wants her students to succeed. Her English is not always good, but she is mainly understandable. She is funny at times!
I went in to this Research Mth and Stats with an open mind. I am a very good student and give an honestjudgement. Dr. Kee's condescending attitude(when you're asking questions) makes a student lose passion. She does know her stuff, yes. But one should not feel stupid for asking for asking questions. Prepare for curtness and rudeness.
I have taken Dr. Kee for two classes now. Others are correct in saying she knows her material but she expects students to pick up on it immediately. You can ask questions but if she thinks it's a "stupid" question - other profs say there is no stupid question Kee is NOT other profs - she will make it known. Very condescending and rude.
I had Dr. Kee for Clinical/Abnormal, 301, & for 2 years of 490 independent research. She gives students everything they need to succeed including study guides that mimic the exams. She may have some difficulty expressing herself but she's not from this country. Ppl often take what she says differently than what she's trying to say. You will learn!
It always seems like questions are okay but when you ask she clearly becomes agitated at the person asking the question and if something goes wrong she will blame you. If you attempt to answer a question and class she will make you feel dumb and again become agitated. Her teaching style makes you want to be quite and not ask anything.
Dr. Kee is the greatest lady alive! I love her and have learned SO much from her. She is not easy, but she is such a good teacher that you KNOW the material and can excel at assignments. She is an amazing professor and a fabulous human being. Hilarious!
Dr. Kee is a great professor. Lots of comments here are about asking questions in class. I will say that she doesn't always have time in lecture to address basic algebra Qs in an upper div stats class but she will make time to explain everything if you go to her office hours. Offers tons of extracredit - no reason not to get an A if you work hard.
Dr. Kee definitely knows her stuff, she's very smart and makes it known. With that being said, I wouldn't take a class with her again, she can make you feel, for a lack of better words, stupid when you ask questions. She seems to be very temperamental and not helpful if you don't understand the material. I don't recommend her if you like to ask ?'s
Kimmy Kee is Epic. Shes definitely not nice, but then again with her background she doesnt have to be. She expects you do know basic math when you get into her class and if you ask basic questions she will laugh, but then again you should already know that stuff.. She gives good feedback on exams,homework and quizzes, no reason you shouldnt pass...
Dr. Kee is a good professor I noticed is she has very little to no patience when you have questions so meet with tutor. Also dont mention your NOT going to school to get ur PHD she wont look at you the same bad. The poster prep was probably when things got crazy because she has clear cut deadlines that if you dont follow you will be affected by.
Doctor Kee loves Psychology, but her teaching style is inarticulate at best and asking any questions gets you a condescending and unclear answer. The lectures are long and not more irrelevant than helpful. Read the book and pray.
I hope to never take another class with her. Her lectures are long, dry, unclear, and redundant. She grades harshly. As others have said, she'll make you feel stupid if you ask her a question. She honestly makes me nervous. Her class was horribly tough and I really didn't learn anything even though I received a decent grade (don't know how).
I took Dr. Kee for Psy301 and took Dr. StanoffTalarico for Psy300. First of all, don't take 2 different professors for Research Methods. I honestly thought I wasn't going to do well in Dr. Kee's class but it wasn't that bad. Dr. Kee doesn't make things easy but if you do the work and stay on top of things, you should be fine. I'd take her again.
Expects you to be on your A game at all times. Attend & participate and you will leave truly understanding the foundations of research & statistics. Meet with her during office hours, seek guidance from her, and work hard. If you plan on making psych your life she will be a huge asset on your journey. If youre looking for an easy A, look elsewhere.
If you are going to take Research methods and want to truly learn it then Dr. Kee is the only option. She is hands down the best teacher for Res. Methods. Even the other faculty know this. Go to class do the work, AND if you aren't an A student, get some help in the library. If you show that you are trying, and care about the class she will help u.
Dr. Kee knows her stuff and she can be good at teaching you the material. However, she can also be a little rude when you participate in class and say the wrong answer. Lectures are long and she talks a lot. Instructions are sometimes not clear & she gets upset when you don't understand, may put you on the spot. I don't like her style of teaching.
Beware. Dr. Kee may be passionate but she is incredibly rude and stuck up. If you have questions she will get absolutely upset and make you feel stupid. Memorizes student's names and WILL call on people in class no matter what and put people in the spot light (calls you out if you answer wrong). Only positive note is: Extra Credit.
She is very knowledgeable in what she talks about and sometimes even adds humor in her lectures. However, she was unclear a lot of the times, and she puts students down if they don't know 100% the right answer. Lets just say this class gave me a great deal of stress and it wasn't the material/subject, I've gotten A's in my previous stats classes.
This is hands down 1 of the best & most inspirational ppl I've ever met in my life. She was HILARIOUS 4 every single class, knew how to teach someone w massive ADD like me &hold my attention, was overly caring &wanted everyone to get an A. She made difficult material fun. If you want a teacher who will change your life and inspire u take Dr Kee
Teaches mainly from the text. Inability to make lessons or key points practical or easy to understand.
Kimmy Kee is the worst professor I have ever had. She is so rude to her students. She calls on students to participate when she sees that they are not understanding or paying attention and when they give their best answer she ridicules them in front of the entire class. God forbid you have a question, she will rip you a new one. DO NOT TAKE HER.
I seriously loved Dr Kee. She makes you participate a lot in class so make sure youre listening bc she will call you at random. You have a midterm (2parts) and final (3pts). She gives you study guides and tells you whats going to be on exam, study and youll pass. she has 4 hw assignments, easy. Def get the yellow textbook, black text isnt needed
I loved Dr. Kee! Yes, she requires you to participate. But if anything that should motivate you to listen and study so then you know the material. She doesn't do it to pick on you , but to push you to do well and think!
I really enjoyed Dr. Kees research methods class. She is so passionate about data and wants her students to succeed in statistics. She pushes her students hard, but its only because she cares about her students more than most professors. She is very straight forward about what is on her tests. If you pay attention, there is no reason to not pass.
The material in the class is what was to be expected, however, her class gives me so much anxiety because I feared being the person she would call on that day and if I didn't have the correct answer I would be the target of her ridicule (there is typically one student per class that experiences this).
Say what you want about Dr. Kee, but I have never had a professor care more about me until she came along. She can be tough, but it's from a good place. She is extremely knowledgable and if she sees that you are putting in the effort, she'll go the extra mile to help you out. Don't expect an easy A. This is research. Put in the work, you'll be fine
Dr. Kee is probably the worst professor I've ever had in my entire life. She talks the whole time in 3 hour lectures and is all over the place in that time. She gets mad at you for not knowing the material if she calls on you, even if the whole class is confused she gets "disappointed" that we aren't understanding. DO NOT take this professor.
I took Dr. Kees 300 and 301 courses, two of my toughest courses in psychology at csuci. Dr. Kee was always available when I needed help, but you will be fine as long as you pay attention. As a graduate student, I recommend that you take both of these two courses seriously. I encountered the same material in my doctoral stats class.
Dr. Kee is a great professor! If you are interested in furthering your education and going into graduate school she is the best professor to take 300 and 301! She also really cares for her students and advises them very well ! Highly recommend to pay attention in class! One of the best professors within the Psychology department at CSUCI.
I had Dr. Kee for 300, 301 and 490 a few years ago. The 300/301 coursework will challenge you if you do not come to class prepared, but Dr. Kee will prepare you for grad school with all the tools you need. She was available for extra help and was always enthusiastic during her lectures.
I think she is awesome and I like her sense of humor, I think she is the best professor for psy300 & psy301
She is always ready to help students to pursue grad school. For those who wants good education and to go to grad school or for the workforce, her class is a very strong preparation.
PSY 300 is not an easy class but Dr. Kee makes the material accessible. Ive never met a teacher who is as willing to help you reach your dreams as Dr. Kee. She has tons of connections and is very knowledgeable about different grad schools and their programs. She is also extremely knowledgeable and passionate about research. Shes one of CIs best
PSY 301 is a pretty difficult course, but Dr. Kee does her best to help you through the material and provide support for your 301 project. The class itself is pretty lecture-heavy, and your understanding of the content will be based in how well you take notes on her lectures. Choose a good group at the start of the semester and you'll do well.
I just wanna say she is awesomeeeee
This professor is amazing. She is very helpful and knowledgeable
Kee was one of the worst experiences with a professor at Channel Islands. For online, get used to "Oh class, I'm so disappointed". She drops many assignments on top of each other. Made the research paper, test and presentation which if you're not preparing weeks ahead of time then you're shooting yourself in the foot before running a marathon.
Dr. Kee is a great mentor and resource if you're willing to also put in the work.
As an online summer course, I understood that this class was going to be fast-paced, however, I signed up for such a disorganized course with a professor that lacks empathy for her students. I recommend taking this course with someone who is patient and puts effort into helping out students rather than mock them for not understanding the concept.
Don't take her class if you only want to pass & don't enjoy research and statistics. She respects serious students more, especially if they have a genuine career interest in psychology. She doesn't respect students that do not actively participate or who are slow. Work on meeting her expectations and you will be fine. If not, don't take 301 w/ her
I took psy301 in the summer. I had some personal issues and not able to meet some assignment datelines. I talked to Dr Kee and she was very understanding. She allowed me more time to complete the assignments eventhough I was very behind. I am thankful for what she has done and how she has helped me. I plan to do my Independent research with her.
I am a first generation student. I have taken psy 300 & psy 301 with Dr Kee. I appreciate that she really cares for her student in class and outside of class. If you complete all the class assignment you will do well in her class.
For psy 300 I like Dr Kee-Rose's teaching style and online lecturelets. Her lecture materials are very organized. And I highly recommend students to take this class. You will learn a lot from this class and you will not get lost in statistics. It will help you build foundation for psy 301. Kudos to the professor.
This is the most structured and well organized class I have taken online. I can understand the statistical concepts because the professor explains them very clearly. We frequently received reminder emails regarding assignment due dates. They were very helpful to me. I highly recommend students to take psy300 and 301 with this professor.
I'm taking this course online with Dr. Kee through extended uni. Her lectures are very clear and very organised it makes it easy for me to understand and I'm not someone who likes statistics. This class has inspired me to apply what I've learned in my daily life. Dr. Kee has great passion teaching statistics.
During my first semester at CSUCI, I took PSY 411 with Dr. Kimmy Kee-Rose, and I recommend it highly. She is very much involved in current research. We also had the opportunity to hear from incredible guest speakers working in the field! If you put in the effort, you'll learn a lot about careers in psych and truly enjoy the learning experience.
