If you ever have the opportunity to take Krystan's class, by all means, DO! This was one of the funnest classes that I have ever taken.
NOT VERY EASY AT ALL. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH PROFESSOR ROUSH IS THAT SHE DOES NOT GIVE MAKE-UP TESTS AND I FOUND GRADING SCALE ERRORS ON SYLLABUS. STAY AWAY.
Kris is very inconsistent. She would ask the class to do something & then not follow through on it. She often seemed unprepared for class. She also showed a lot of videos which got boring. She never lectured on anything that was on the tests. I just felt she could have been more clear overall.
Doctor Roush is very entertaining and always keeps me interested...which I need!
i like this class a lot, i wanna learn everything about psych. as possible
She is an awesome teacher!! She does tend to have an attitude tho. It basically just makes us crack up laughing though. Literally, If you show up everyday there is NO way you can fail. The day before the test she takes the actual test and quizes us with the test using the EXACT questions. If you pay attenion you can get almost all of the test right then. She is very clear and if you arent following you raise your hand and she wont go on until you understand it.
Kristen is a great teacher, very funny, good sense of humor. Although she is good, her tests sway alittle from what the notes are in class. You have to read ALL the material in order to do well in her class. Many students had a hard time understanding the tests. If you are smart you can pass her class.Overall though she is a good teacher.
Kris was a great teacher, open minded and really smart. She is very pleasent and makes the class a lot of fun, she has a great sense of humor. Her class is really great, you do need to study and pay attention, but it is well worth it to take her class. I recommend her very highly. She's GREAT!
Dr. Roush is a wonderful professor!!! She communicates well. She uses real life senerios to get the clas involved w/ the lecture. She is a creative person who does fabulous woodwork in her spare time. She is a gift to CNM.

Kris Roush offered a fairly interesting class, it was not too difficult to get an A..
Dr. Roush is an excellent teacher. She really knows what she is teaching, and on top of that she has an excellent sence of humor. Her class is intresting. I enjoyed taking her Psychology class, it was alot of fun. I would defiantly take her for any other class she offered.
Easy class.
Kris is an awesome teacher with a great sense of humor. She made this class fun! All the material she went over in class was exactly what was on the tests. I would highly reccomend her for PSY 105. I never used my book (shouldn't have even bought it) and easily passed the class.
I use this website to find almost all of my professors, and I must say Kristin Roush is just great. She gives you a handout of what all the test will be covering...how can you not pass this class!!!TAKE THIS CLASS!!!
Awesome! Loves Psychology and obviously loves teaching. My favorite teacher so far
I thoroughly enjoyed this class. Kris is hilarious! Probably could have done without the textbook, unless you plan on missing a lot of classes/lectures. I highly recommend Kris as a teacher. She obviously loves teaching. Thanks Kris!
You actually learn from Dr. Roush. She explains everything in real life experiences and you are able to relate a lot of stuff to your oen life. You don't need the textbook if you go to EVERY class. If you really want to learn, take her.
She's a great teacher. Her test are a bit odd. Its not about memorizing the definition of the word but being able to apply it. I had her for summer so every other meeting we had a test.
Kris is just wonderful! She lectures the whole time but she keeps your interest in psychology alive.Everything she goes over will be on the quizzes and you do need to attend class.She gives two major Hmwrk assignments and she is specific on her deadlines and you are required to meet them ;-)Take Kristin's class she is just phenomenal!
Dr. Roush is a great teacher! Loves her job and loves her students. Bends over backwards for students and makes the lesson so fun to learn. Just a great person. I learn so much in her class, and it will help me in my Education classes. Thank you Dr. Roush! M.P
GREAT GREAT GREAT TEACHER!!! SUPER COOL!!
Kris is a fantastic professor. I changed my major because of her class. She explains things crystal clear. Take notes in class, and have a good time. I know I did. We had a blast and learned so much. TAKE HER CLASS!! :)
Dr. Roush is an excellent teacher, has helped make me a better student, and is an assest to CNM. Thankyou!
Very effective and thorough teaching methods. Good sense of dry humor and overall a very pleasant experience.
She is a very cool professor. She is very funny but yet she still gets the work done. Her class is not hard as long as you show up and listen. (and that is not hard to do with her.)
i plan on taking more classes this teacher offers because i think she is very qualified in the subjects she teachs and is willing to help a student acheive good grades if they are willing to do the work
Kris applying her teaching to everyday live. Which helps us old folks remember
SHE ROCKS!!!! TAKE HER CLASS... BEST TEACHER EVER!!!!!!
she is amazing!!!
She is a great teacher with a great sense of humor!
Fun teacher! Had a great time, gives the best lectures I've ever heard, period. No end of jokes and entertaining stories that relate completely to the subject material. Cold and clammy classroom environment: however, i blame this on the students, most of whom were a little... ~~~-ish. First class I've ever had that shifted my paradigm!
Great teacher! She makes psychology fun and I love how she incorporates her own psychological experiences with her lectures!!
she was the best teacher i have ever had here at CNM. if i could have her for all my classes that would be great..... she was helpful, and easy to talk to ... she was extremely clear on what she was teaching ,and what she wanted ... i really couldn't of asked for more in a teacher...
I can safely say that I Love this lady. She was the greatest teacher and has some of the funniest stories and joke. Take this class, please.
Ms. Roush is a great teacher who is not only helpful but is smoking hot to boot!!
Kristin's teaching method was simple and yet profound. Her notes were thorough and completely helpful for her tests. She made Psychology fun and exciting. I would recommend her to anyone pursuing psychology.
Kris is awesome! Her class was not only useful, but wicked fun! She really makes the subject interesting. I highly recommend!!
Amazing quality!
Ms. Roush was an awesome psych teacher! I took her class fall '09, late review, and I really liked it. I was fully engaged in each class discussion, she relates psych concepts to the real world. Her discussions stem from terms out of the text in a convenient study guide. She is a really cool teacher and she got me psyched about psych!
Loved this class!
This teacher is wonderful. English is my second language and she work hard with me on that. I got an A on this class. She is nice and fun. I recommend her a lot.
Im taking her class and i think she is great, i love her class i think its easy but at same time im learning!
She's awesome and so down to earth. She's not uptight and knows how to joke with her students. She also makes it so easy to understand the material.
This was the best class I took all term. Kris was an awesome instructor and made the class very fun adn easy to learn in. I would definitely take this class with her again.
Kristin is the most AWESOME teacher, she knows her profession pretty good, she made this class fun, interesting, concise. her lecture are exactly on the test she'll give you all the answers on the hand outs,never used the book. she is super HOT!Highly recomended
This class is very fun and easy. She does not assign homework, there is one project (which seems if you do it you get full credit) and 8 tests. She gives you study guides for the tests and they are very detailed. She teaches only from experience and knows here material. This is a VERY EASY class with a GREAT teacher.
I think she is super helpful
Extremely awesome teacher. Definitely one of my all time favorites. Teaches psych in a way that makes everyone like it.
Kris is a very talented professor! I LOVE her class and am very engaged the entire time. She is easy going and knows her stuff. Her tests are clear and easy to understand and her attitude is spectacular! It's a pleasure being in her class and she is a true gift to CNM!
Kris is an outstanding professor - she teaches from her wealth of experience and makes the material easy to grasp (even fun) without watering it down. Coursework is extremely easy: short multiple-choice tests most weeks; very few written assignments. I would wish for a greater academic challenge from her, but would still take the class again.
Great!! Very entertaining
Wow, I wish all of my professors could be like Kris. She is fantastic, knowledgeable and passionate, and has a really clear, helpful teaching style.
Very nice, helpful, and easy going. Likes to make jokes and is not too strict. She lectures on everything that is going to be on the tests.
GREAT TEACHER I also wish all my profsors were like Kris she is awesome i still know what her class is all about i learned a lot my first psych class and she made it a blast very funny and passionate definately knows her material. Take her i extremely recommend her, i will definately take her class again. Thank you Kris
she is hilarious! she will keep you laughing the entire period all while teaching her lesson. the best hire the school has made!!!
Kris is the best ever! She is hilarious and the nicest lady in the world. She goes over the chapters selected in great detail. You have a test after every chapter you cover, but if you attend class or read the book you'll be ok.
She is a great teacher! If you have to take this class take it with her! Go to class and take good notes and you don't have to worry about anything. She doesn't give a lot of homework, but there are three papers. Good teacher she loves psy and makes class fun
Greatinstructor very helpfull and her class is very intresting you learn while enjoying the lecture.
Her lectures and her humor are as much a part of the teaching as the text book is. Simply showing up for the test will not work. You've got to attend class to get a lot of testable material contained in the her lectures. She is a great instructor and knows her stuff. I highly recommend her.
She is a great instructor. She keeps you laughing the entire class. Go to class take good notes and you will do fine. She has test after ever chapter. If you have to take this class take it with kris she is great!
Kris is the best. This was my first year back and I could not have gotten a better instructor. She is funny she will keep you laughing all day. She gives great examples and her lectures are the key to learning the material. Go to class take notes and you will get a good grade.
I LOVED Kris! She was an awesome teacher! Studying & extra credit will get u through the class. It is important to go to class because she clarifies her topics and gives real life examples! GREAT TEACHER!!
Great teacher. I highly recommend her. Very sweet! Be ready to take a test every other week.
Mrs. Roush is awesome! Expectations are crystal clear from the start. Definitely not a class you can slack off in. I would recommend taking Psych courses with her because it will pay off. Textbook use is/can be non-existent. Tests are strictly off her lectures; which means you will want to have good attendance. Extra credit opportunities help
Mrs.Roush is a very good teacher and i wish more teachers cared as much as she does
This was an awesome class. Dr. Roush is an excellent instructor and made the class fun and interesting. Kris also has a great sense of humor and that made her class even more enjoyable. Out of the 5 classes I took this semester, this was my favorite class and always looked forward to attending. CNM needs more instructors like Kris. Thanks Kris.
She is the best instructor. She is funny and will help you grasp the material. She tells storys that help make the connections and her lectures ae the KEY to the class. Listen, take notes and you will pass. She is one of the best. Wish she would teach more classes.
Best teacher ever!! Gives you a packet at beginning of class for entire term, know the terms and you will pass. Tests based off lectures so don't miss class! Tells hilarious stories to help remember the information. Very clear and concise on all of her expectations. Take her and you won'tregret it!!
She is the best teacher at CNM I have taken. Gives you a packet for the term and the terms that are on the tests are all there. She is amazing and very clear explaning her thing. She definently loves her job. She is also very caring, and gives extra credit. Go to class and you will do great.
She is AWSOME she loves what she does which is teaching psychology. Her class is based on lectures and vocab so take good notes and you'll do fine it's not that hard and she makes her class really enjoyable. She doesn't leave HW which is AWSOME
She is fantastic. All you have to do is show up to class, listen, and take notes and you will do fine in her class. She gives out a packet of testable info by chapter at the start of the semester. that is the only stuff on each test. GOOD LUCk! She also said that it would be her dream if she got the hotness icon on this site so this for you Kris
She is a great teacher, she makes the class very interesting and she can make everyone laugh. Everyone should have a least one class with her.
She's AWESOME!!!:D
Her clarity in class is very helpful to the point that if you go to class everyday, the textbook is hardly used.
Great Teacher.!
Kris', class was awesome not only was she informative she was fun to listen to.
One of the best professor ever.
Dr. Kris is witty, sharp, intelligent, and inspired in her work. I got so much wisdom from her teaching. If you have the chance, take her class.
Love love loved her class
This teacher was one of the best Psych teachers. She used personal experiences in her very humorous informative lectures. Lectures are very helpful. She hands out a review for quizzes. It's a good class overall.I love it.
she was awesome! had a great time in her class. lectures were easy to follow and just show up to class and you will pass
Dr. Roush: you are awesome !
She is by far my favorite teacher from my college experience so far. I took her summer PSY 1105 8 Week class for the 2013 Summer semester and enjoyed every class. She is very understanding and was a pleasure to have as a teacher. She's very clear on what is needed/necessary for the class and gave a packet review for all of the tests. A+ rating.
Kris is absolutely AMAZING!! She is by far the BEST teacher I have ever had. She is clear on meaning and uses real life experiences to make you understand each topic. She is funny and isnt afraid to tell you her true feeling. If you have the opportunity, TAKE HER!!!!!!!!!
This was by far my favorite class in my fall 2013 semester! Shes's funny and makes lectures very interesting. She provides a handout with everything on each test and goes over them in her lectures. I'd recommend her as a teacher to anyone. Even if you don't have an interest in psych, you'll enjoy her class.
By far Kris is one of my favorite instructors. She is straight forward, funny and down to earth. She doesn't require a text book, or can use an older version, and she gives a packet on the first day of class which she goes over and there are no surprises as far as the test go. All tests are multiple choice. :)
One of the best Psych professor. Great sense of humor, She will give a hand out of everything that will be learned in class. Very important to show up to the lectures. The book was not use very much. Quizzes are multiple choice. She has great stories that relate to the class. I highly recommend taking her class.
Awesome teacher, very interesting curriculum. She changed my life. I'd recommend her for anyone who wants to feel thankful for a class.
She is the best psychology teacher. Very fun and even if you are not interested in psychology she will change how you think about it. She is really funny and you learn a lot in her class. No homework only 1 assignment all semester and rest is tests on every chapter we cover that's 25 questions. Never touched the textbook and her lectures are great.
Kris is by far the best instructor I have ever had. I feel sorry for anyone who has learned psychology from any other professor. It is impossible to fail this class. As long as you show up to class and listen, you should be able to ace the tests. Besides you will want to show up to class anyway because KRIS IS HOT!!!!!!! :) <3
Shes awesome and very helpful! She tought me that we use psychology in our every day lives. A+++++ P.s...... Keep your phone put away even if you use it as a mirror! :)
Great teacher :)! Her class is really easy and you dont need the textbook! Just pay attention and take notes and its an easy A!
Just take this class... I can't explain it. This class was the best thing that I've been apart of at CNM. NO BOOK! Nothing but an amazing time. Keep that phone away. Please take this class.
she is funny and nice
Kris is an excellent professor. Being a freshman, i didn't know what to expect from this class but Kris really has a way with her teaching. She jokes during lectures and never bores you. Absolutely recommended 10/10
Amazing and funny teacher! She actually makes the subject interesting! One of the best classes I've taken so far!
Kris is the best psychology teacher I've had, I'm still in High School taking college classes and her classes was very interesting! She has tons of stories that help you really remember what the terms are, and relates back to your life. She'll give you extra credit if you bring her lattes! Don't use your phone, you won't really need it anyways ;-)
Kris is by far, the best professor I have encountered in my last 4 years of college! She is very clear in what she requires of you and very well organized and structured. She gets your attention and keeps you intrigued the whole period. If she's offered in any class you have to take (or don't have to) pick her!
I loved this class she is best professor and she is also very funny. Her class is very fun and interesting. I would take her again!
I loved the class. She is a very engaging professor that teaches interesting material without the boring stuff. She relates to her students. The class is cost effective because there is no textbook required. If you study and turn things in on time, your sure to pass. What else is there to add?!
Kris is an amazing professor, she is not boring and she loves her profession and she loves teaching it, really, she gets so excited in class when covering lectures. She is fun, motivated and down to earth. You'll lover her!
Kris is an amazing professor, she is not boring and is enjoyable. She loves her profession as a Psychologist and loves teaching it. She is fun, motivated and down to earth. You'll enjoy her class and you'll enjoy her.
Kristin is by far one of the best professors I've had her class was easy and fun i enjoyed every second of it and can't wait to take more of her upper level classes. THIS CLASS IS A MUST TAKE FOR EVERYONE!!!!!!!!
Overall, you can not find a better teacher! She is an amazing person, and an amazing teacher. Her class was the highlight of my week.
Kris has a great sense of humor and she's understandable. I also enjoyed attending the Intro to Mindfullness workshop in Spring 2014. Thanks Kris!
Kris is a great instructor! Kept the class interested and interactive. I would definately recommend her to other students (that show up on time).
Great attitude and teaching method! Very applicable stories and definitions!
Great attitude and teaching method! Very applicable definitions and interesting stories!
I had fun in the class. Kris was very helpful and patient. And shes pretty hot!!
She is the best teacher i have ever had and I would recommend her to anybody. The review tests were helpful in helping me study and better prepare for the test. Also, she is very hot.
She is a wonderful teacher! Show up to class take lots of notes and you will do fine. I did not even buy/use the book at all. She is great at explaining everything and always gives examples. FUN CLASS!!!
she is very fun her quizzes can be a little hard if you don't study, but her lectures are fun because she tells you little anecdotes so you can understand it easily. take her!
I absolutely loved this class it was one of my favorites this semester. I would recommend this course this course to anyone especially if it's just a prerequisite since it's really simple work I rarely ever studied for it since the lectures were usually enough. Oh and she enjoys her night classes so I would recommend to take it at night :)
I absolutely loved her! She can make anyone love Psychology.
Professor Roush often says how much she loves what she teaches and it definitely shows! She's so great at explaining the material and captivating her students. Pay attention to the lectures and study a little bit and you'll pass with a good grade! Awesome class and professor!!! Definitely recommend!
Best Psychology teacher ever. First time I took her I was late to class my first day, I can't recall exactly what she said but I remember after learning more about psychology I realized she used it on my the first time I meet her. She knows what she knows and she uses examples within her examples. Very bright lady! TAKE HER CLASSES!
She's a great instructor; very helpful and insightful. The course was not difficult, but she weighs attendence heavily. I received a B in the class because I missed 2 days. I had A's on all of the assignmentsexams except for one. Would recommend, though.
Shes great in All of her classes. She is very caring. If you dont take her you'll regret it
Dr. Roush is an outstanding instructor. Kris gives the best lectures and has a great sense of humor. She is one instructor that is there for us students. She wants her students to succeed and will go out of her way to help. She has a wealth of knowledge to pass on. She is passionate about her field and the best ever. Taking her is a must.
Great class with great information; it's taught very well. The professor is very engaging--lectures aren't long and group discussions are usual. She's also very personable, she gets really gets to know the students. I would recommend this professor and this class to whomever decides to take it.
Kris made lectures fun to learn and related topics to personal life so remembering them was easier. At the beginning of the course she hands out a study guide of all the chapters and all the material that will be on the test so you know exactly what to study!
Best teacher ever! She gives you everything you need to know. Just expects you to study it. Also she is HOTTT
she was an amazing teacher, listen when she says "understand, don't just memories." I would recommend everyone should take this class if you can. great knowledge and helpful. one of her lectures even taught me a new way to study that works really well.
Wonderful professor!
Amazing teacher
Loved Dr. Roush and her lectures. I had taken psych before, however she really made the material come to life more than ever before. Attending lectures was always enjoyable and I never found any of the material to be daunting. Definitely one of the best teachers at CNM!
Exams very easy, work in groups, outlines pages in text. Very boring, felt I learned almost nothing. She doesn't put in much work in the class, mostly videos, guest speakers. Grading system is ridiculous, penalized severely for missing class, points taken off for each class missed, even if 1 is missed, don't take if you actually care about learning
she is super nice. we would go to starbucks and talk about class and about life.
I absolutely love Professor Roush! I have taken two of her classes at CNM. She is an instructor who makes students want to come to class because her lectures are always interesting, entertaining and informative. She attempts to empower students by imparting applicable knowledge/experience, this is especially true in her Death and Dying section.
Best teacher ever. She makes everything digestible and her lectures actually entertain while you teach. Unlike other PSY professors I've had to take. Too bad intro is the only class she teaches.
She's an incredible teacher. She provides her own study guides and rarely used the book. Though it always is helpful to read anyway. She makes sure everyone understands before moving on to the next subject.
I loved this class because of Kristin Roush. If I had to take another psychology class I'd take her class again.
If I had to take another psychology class I'd take her class again.
Dr. Rouch made me feel excited to come to class. Her lectures are amazing, they are very informative. I would definitely take this professor again. She did offer a one time extra credit. She has her own handout for each chapter, and the handout basically has what will be on the quiz. No open notes on quizzes. She is awesome!
Kris is an awesome teacher, she definitely always made the class laugh but also got down to business when it was needed. I would definitely recommend taking her, know I will again. Just take notes from her lectures, know the actually meaning of the vocabulary, and take advantage of her office hours.
I absolutely love Kris! She's easy to get along with and loves to joke, which makes class fun. I took her for Intro to Psych as well and loved her then. Definitely recommend her!
Kris is such an amazing and fun instructor!
Kris is probably the worst psychology teacher I've ever had. I barely learned anything about Death or Dying and she didn't ever lecture. It was always videos and guest speakers which may be cool for some people, but then for tests she would expect you to know where to find the information in the book. I expected much more from this class.
Professor Roush was the best instructor that I've ever had. She definitely loves what she does and she shows it with the way she teaches. She is also very flexible with you by giving you ways to bring your grade up if its not too high. If you could take any of her classes, in would highly recommend it.
Professor Roush seems to be phoning it in at this point. I have seen more videos and had enough guest speakers to know to make my class seem like it was conference for CEU rather then an actual college course. She is super unforgiving when it comes to the way she grades her assignments. Even if you feel you met the criteria that does not matter.
I expected so much more out of Death & Dying. The course was basically alternating videos and guest speakers each week along with journals, open book tests, and a funeral project. Kris seemed very disconnected with our class and it was overall very boring. I'd recommend this class for an easy A. Don't expect to really learn anything. Disappointing.
Terrific fun class, take notes from book, fill in study guides, easy class. Good lectures, goes over study guides with class before each test. Study guides cover test material. Test on each chapter, easy if you did the guide. One page reaction papers. Do not skip class or be late. I will take her again for any class. Answers emails quickly.
Her experience in psychology gives her a lot of examples to go by that help with the lecture and remembering info for the test. Her stories are interesting and she is hilarious. She is very clear on grading criteria and easy with it too. Not difficult at all and nice instructor.
Kris is one of the reasons I changed my major to psychology. Her lectures are great and she includes examples for everything she goes over which makes the material easy to understand. When covering a topic she makes sure it is understood before moving on and answers any questions. She is a great professor. 10/10 would take a class she taught again.
Kris is a wonderful professor that I wish I could take another class from her but she is retiring this semester :( She had amazing lectures and only strengthened my belief I'm in the right major.
Kris Roush is an awesome instructor!!! I would recommend her to everyone I know!! Her lectures are AMAZING!!! She helps us remember word terms by applying these words to real life situations that relate to us all. She is a unique teacher it's hard to find teachers like her. CNM you need to keep her forever! Don't let her go! LOL
Amazing teacher only took class because I needed it for vet tech. Ended up really enjoying the class. I would decently take another phycology class if she taught it.
Class requirements are clearly defined in a syllabus and calendar. We are told exactly what to expect. She wants us to learn, wants us to succeed. Funny, obviously well educated, great lectures, mellow. Very enjoyable as a teacher and also the class. She makes you want to learn.
Heavily lectured based but lectures are interesting and funny; on the plus side you dont need any outside materials to pass the class. Class is based around quizzes/tests so you have to do light studying to pass. My only complaints are that shes strict on little things (attendance/talking/earphones) and she doesnt put any updates/grades online.
Kris explains everything in a semantic way. That way you truly understand the material before your test. She keeps the mood light by cracking occasional jokes. I loved this class more than any other class I have ever taken.
