Take Prof. Scheitrum! Her tests coincide very nicely with lectures and readings, so there are no surprises, and her lectures are concise and easy to follow. Class is usually fun, and lots of real-life examples are used to better explain psychology. A+!
She is straight forward and fun. Everything on the test is covered on her review sheets. The classes are fun and oriented to real life situations. I would recommend anyone to take her classes
Great prof. prob the best ive had here so far. very nice and helpful person. Somewhat wierd, but she uses this to help your remember material. Maybe the only downfaults are that she takes attendance regularly and very few grades to pull up a bad grade.A+
This class was difficult. She only gives you three test and if you bomb one of those tests you are up the creek without a paddle. She lets you bring in video tapes for five extra credit points but that doesn't really help. You get no points for attendance
Not to bad, Take notes all classes, Videos for bonus, three tests that are really hard. Attendence not important if you get notes

She's great! Her lectures are fun and easy to relate to, she's very helpful and down to earth, and her craziness makes her points stick in your memory. Best of all, all you have to do is come to class and take the notes she puts up!!! A+
SHE'S AWESOME!!
I would suggest her for any psych course, she is funny and makes class fun and she makes you laugh. There are 4 tests that are fairly easy as long as you take notes and pay attention to what she has to say. Take psych with her! Shes great!
she gives a lot of notes but if you study them you will do okay and she is alright lokking
she's a little ditzy and kooky, but she keeps the material interesting. it's my favorite class, i wish i could go to it every day.
Her class is hard, its alot of notes you have to remember, she gives you notes in class and then you have to do the worksheets also..She gives you extra that is worth 5 pts. and we have study session, but for this class all I got to say is study hard...
I love her!! Ive had her for two different classes and she is the best. She is nice eye candy too!!
She is an awesome psych professor, she puts all the notes on the overhead and she explains things so well in class so that you understand everything, you have to do worksheets outside of class just as a study guide, I would definately recommend taking her
an easy class.... she actually says in the begning.... "If your tired you dont have to go to class".... i never went and got a B ..... def take this class
I love her! she's so good, her notes are the test except for maybe 2 things she takes from the books but the study guide worksheets help you find them! She gives you a change for extra credit every test!!! TAKE HER!
she is so awesome, everything is about sex and that's what i need at 9:30 am, take her and you won't regret it
Great teacher! Very Understanding! GO TO CLASS and DO THE EXTRA CREDIT! U'd be a dumbass not to - easy A if u do!
Excellent professor; she deserves more than her paycheck. Would recommend for any class she's teaching; she is a wonderful instructor who is willing to bend over backwards for students and does whatever she can to help others. Attend classes!
Easy to understand!
She is so great!! If you need to take any psych classes and she is teaching, definitely get her!! She goes way beyond her call of duty!! Not to mention she makes the class fun and easy to understand!
She made me enjoy my first pyschology class and kept me interested in class. She's great and always willing to help!
She is yummy! her husband is a very lucky man. I love her!! Great class. fairly easy but she makes you want to do good for her.
very interesting and always gives great examples of each definition...for once, i actually enjoyed a psych class!
absolute fun class!...she tries to make psych as interesting as could be...very fun and outgoing personality...will help you with any problems!..although tests are hard and you have to study!
she's an excellent professor. she knows how to teach well by giving the class examples that anyone can relate to. she draws out the definitions for you. she's really entertaining and pretty, too.
She is one of the best pych profs I had so far. She gives you plenty of opprotunities for extra credit. She actually cares about each of her students, and most importantly she makes class interesting, and the information very clear to understand Take her!
She is freaking awesome! I love this lady, and she makes psychology easy to understand (if you go to class). The tests arent too bad either.
She is GREAT!!! if you go to class and take good notes you should have no problems getting an A (even without the book). she also offers extra credit. she is very approachable and funny and makes psych interesting and easy to learn. take her!!!

Great teacher! She is into what she teaches therefore does an awesome job at making it intersting. She gives extra credit, 4 test and then final is NOT cumulative.
I had her for psych 101 and psych of personality, go to class and study the notes she gives u and you will get a A, she gives u extra credit before each test and she doesnt care about if u come to class or not, but u will wanna go to class b/c shes fun
She is one of the most helpful teachers ever. Her classes are fun, interesting, and easy. lots of extra credit. take her if at all possible
Probabley one of the best professors i've ever had, she makes class a lot of fun and very interesting. She is extremely clear in what she is talking about, if you go to class and take notes you will do fine on the test. She offers extra credit which is worth a lot of points!I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER!
Best teacher I have ever had! Explains things well and makes class interesting. She is very friendly and makes attempt to get to know students. There are extra credit chances and as long as you get lecture notes, tests are fair!
the woman is smokin...go to class just because she is hot...easy teacher, explains stuff so its wicked easy.. she makes class fun with her examples...take her any class she teaches...trust
def take her as a prof. she is awesome. she makes class fun to go to. the tests are a lil bit hard, but the rest of the class is great
she is the best and you can really understand. she instructs like no other and is very nice and understanding..
she is the best prof ever!!! take her and come to class or at least get notes from someone who goes...if u study the notes and do extra credit you will do fine
Great teacher, really knows her stuff and makes it interesting. On the student's level, so it's easy to follow her.
She is the best prof ever! I love her...as for the class...just study and read the book and pay attention in class...which isnt hard because she makes everything exciting and easy to relate to your life!!! Take one of her classes if you need to take a psych course...you wont be sorry!!!
She is very helpful and nice. She makes the class interesting and fun to be in. Do the textbook worksheets and pay attention in class and you will do just fine. I would take her again.
Gives good notes, explains them well and relates them to life. She will care enough to answer any question about a topic and listens to her students. I highly recommend her for anyone who is looking for a Psychology prof. She'll make class interesting and you won't fall asleep!
Best teacher I have had so far. I recommend taking her. She makes every class fun and she gives study guides for every exam. So if you go to almost every class it's almost impossible to due poorly.

She is an awesome teacher! She makes class fun and interesting and relates to her students. Definetly the best teacher I have ever had.
She is very helpful and gets the points across by acting out the disorders and personalities that you are learning about.
There is never a boring class. And I will never forget going over the ID EGO and SUPER EGO, and her "Be a ssuper person", her super ego is a lisper
Shes very energetic
AMAZING professor - my absolute favorite, she made me want to become a counselor and change my major. the best psych prof, very clear explanations, and HALIRIOUS! definitely take her class if youre interested in psychology - she'll inspire you even more.
Definitly the best prof. I have ever had. I am switching to psy partially because of her class and I plan to take many more of her classes. You should take her too.
such a good class. never liked pysch in HS, but loved her class. definitely recommend taking her class.
amazing! no seriously, she is the best professor ever! loved the class, very entertaining. the tests aren't hard either, but if help is needed there is extra credit options and practice quizzes on webct! great, great, class!
She is themost amazing prof. She has a awesome personality, snd you can tell she loves her job. Her class is no the one you want to miss, its just so fun. The class is not a breeze, but she makes you understand and there is EC and practice wuizzes that help greatly. You wanna take psy try to get her for everything.
wonderful professor. very creative, class was always fun. if you get a chance take one of her classes, you'll love it i guarentee you!
she is hilarious. definitely take her if you get the chance, she makes class fun to be in for 50 minutes 3 times a week. she teaches like no other and gives extra credit too to go along with tests. loved the class.
She so awesome. Theres no book and she makes class sooo much fun. Her tests are easy and she gives extra credit too...this is a must-take class!
extremely easy class. gives really good notes and tests arent hard at all. there is no book, only web readings. she is really funny and bubbly, she is like a breath of fresh air when it comes to professors. she always lets you out at least 5 minutes early, usually more. i HIGHLY recommend her if you get the chance!!
This class is extremely interetsing. I love going to this class. I will admit, there are alot, and I mean ALOT of notes. The tests are not hard at all though. Take this prof.
Extremley bad professor, she is so bubbly its distracting, there is no book but web readings are extremley long.When asked if I could do extra cedit she said no. She was very unhelpful and disrespectful to people.She called a person who pratices witch craft "a budding psychologist".Overall she should be teaching hyper kindergardeners.
very bubbly and airheaded...she never noticed anyone cheating, but there was a lot of that going on, but i only know cause it was off me..i never cheated..
She was an amazingly helpful and interesting professor. You don't need to buy a book for her class which is a HUGE plus. She wrote her own textbook sort of thing and you can read it online. It's actually interesting. There was an incident I was involved in during the semester and she was very accomodating to my needs.
Great Prof. She gives you a study guide, teaches what you need to know. Makes class very interesting with personal experiences and videos. Her tests are hard...you have to know your stuff, but it you do...you'll easily get an A
Shes a good teacher, and tries to make class fun. Her lectures get a little long, but she tries to let class out early. Only three tests, and they are easy. No homework, and a very cheap text book. Easy A if you go to class and pay attention.
Very interesting. Easy to understand and tests are directly from class notes!!
I had her for Ed. Psych and she's honestly just a great professor. She doesn't make you go to class, but if you attend regularly and study the material it's an easy A. Not to mention if you have any questions or concerns she emails you back right away and will help you out with anything. Highly recommended!
Any idiot who attends this class can pass it. If you just take the time to glance over your notes before a test you will do fine. I studied about an hour before each test and never got below a B.
Great prof. Extremly helpful, classes are fun. She brings a great deal of personal experience to the class. Tests are very fair. If you study you'll get an A. Highly recommend her.
Best prof I've ever had!!!! Very organized and clear. No expensive textbooks to buy. Tests straight from notes. Go to class and it should be an easy A - was for me
Explains things VERY well and you know what to expect. I am TERRIBLE at Psych and I pulled off an A in her Ed Psych class! She makes class fun with her stories and examples. Attendance was not mandatory but I went to every class because I did not mind being there. Provides very useful information and tips! Test are fair! TAKE HER!!
Great teacher! Easy to understand and reasonable. No surprises!
Professor Akillas is absolutely amazing. I recommend any class she teaches. Unlike other professors, she doesn't teach from the book, and she makes every class fun and interesting. Tests come straight from the notes and the readings, so this isn't a class you can skip all the time.
She is one of the nicest people you will possibly ever meet in the world. She's really down to earth--that's her teaching style. Her test aren't too bad. Her web notes are EXCELLENT!! They are pretty much word for word from her lectures in class. The mini projects are a breeze...easy points, so just do them! I would recommend her to ANYONE!
Great teacher. Very down to earth and helpful. She makes the class easy, and is very fair with her expectations. She makes the class interesting, and there is not unreasonable amounts of work to do. Definitly take her class!!
She's amazing, I love her teaching technqiues, she keeps you interested and wanting to know more. When she teaches she uses a lot of humor and keeps you laugh. She has creative ways of remembering things. Im lazy but she makes me want to go to class, just to see what crazy thing she has to say that day. Take her! Best professor in KU.
She is the best teacher I've ever had in my life. Anyone will love her, she's funny, outgoing and so friendly. Her class is fun and depending on how much you study it is easy. I got an A and i didn't stress about that class at all.
I love her, she is probably the best professor at KU makes class fun and interesting, will talk about everything and anything! class is awesome unless you have losers who tell stories all the time. other than that this Class is AWESOME!
Prof. Akillas is the greatest professor!!She is so helpful and explains things so well.Her class is amazing and was my favorite.She does crazy hand gestures and voices that really help make the information stick.There are class projects, but they are really easy!If you can take her class; DEFINITELY DO SO!!!!!!
One of the best Prof. I have had at KU. Absolutely love her, if you have the opportunity to take her, definitely do. Shes funny & helpful!
She was really helpful and was always there when I had a question. She always answered my emails promptly and either had the answer I needed or had a way for me to find that answer. She is anamazing prof. and she makes Psychology a ton of fun.
this teacher is sooo FABULOUS. best professor i have ever had <3 her. must take her
she is a very nice teacher. Very understanding. I hated psych before this class and even took it with her husband and dropped it but she made it very understanding a fun. You have 4 exams and 12 online quizzes that you can use your notes for. No book. Very easy. Very nice. Very helpful. You MUST take her if you can!
She is really funny and nice and makes her topic interesting. Study the notes and you should do fine
Pretty funny, but can also be slightly annoying. I was worried going into this class because I thought it was going to be difficult. Not this one! For one thing, you do not need to buy a book. All you need to do is study the online notes, and all the work requested of you. Honestly you really don't have to go to class, but she makes them worth it.
I had her for Edu Psy. The class itself wasn't bad. No book, three tests (final is just the third test), and online blackboard quizes. Also there was a group teaching demo project. But she can be annoying. She's very.. peppy.. especially for a morning class.
Whoever thinks she's annoying does not have a sense of humor. Makes topics interesting with her raw humor. Notes were visual and clear. Has the student's best interest at heart. Very helpful and understanding, and the exams are easy.
Best prof so far at kutztown. She is really funny and teaches you in a way that you will always remember the info. She doesnt require attendance and puts detailed notes on blackboard, but going to class helps alot. Plus after the first few classes you (at least i did) start to look forward to it to see what kind of funny thing she will do that day.
She is the best profesor ive had at my 2 years at Kutzown. She relates everything to what is going on in your life. Even if your not a psych major she is awesome to take. If you read her webnotes that read like a novel you will get As and Bs! Take her!
He is friendly, at times funny, and he gives an amazing lecture. He is easy to take notes from and he has a great review before the tests. My only complaint is that there is so much info he expects you to remember. The final covers the whole semester and the info is just overwhelming. But you do a paper for each test which boosts your grade.
BEST PROF EVER! She is so helpful and relates everything back to a college student's life. She is funny and makes class actually enjoyable to go to. TAKE THIS PROFESSOR
very awesome teacher she is very funny and fun! you will learn a lot in this class, shes v ery into teaching and making sure u understand. There is not textbook required she puts her notes up on blackboard. and attendance is not mandatory. VERY EASY
Miss Akillas is the stuff...Take her if psychology is your major....even if its not. The class is funn and interesting. Even without attendance being mandatory, I'd rather be in the class :) and she's easy to talk to
Not gonna lie, she was really funny and entertaining, but i didn't learn anything. My tests were terrible and i did everything she said to pass. She is very personal about the class but I think that she needs to focus on her teaching and less on being liked. She said **** a lot as well one reason why I went to class all the time.
This prof. is the best ive ever had i only attended class on test days and i got an A. she puts all her notes on blackboard shes the best wouldnt trade he for nobody else
Really a great professor. She's clear, helpful, and really wants you to do well in her class. Attendence not mandatory but it helps to be there for clarification and she tells you some test questions. You will have to study for her tests, it's A LOT of material. Overall, her class is easy and she's a great professor!
Professor Raquel Akillas is very cheerful and charasmatic with a very positive and optimistic outlook on life. She brings this optimism into the classroom, which makes her class not only effective, but also enjoyable and fun. She is very well organized and explains everything well. She is very helpful academically and personally. Great person!!!
Incredibly helpful, clear, great sense of humor. Enjoyable class. Highly recommended.
Child Psychology with her is a breeze. No text, she tests purely on simple notes and articles. Allows for an easy 20 point extra credit through semester. Very sweet woman, though sometimes not the greatest psychology expert.
She's the BEST, I love her...Took 3 classes of hers. I would never trade her. She is now a good friend of mine
Amazing Prof. I took her for this and Gen. Psych. I'm really bummed that her Ed. Psych class was filled for next Semester. I highly recommend her!! She makes the class SO easy by the way she describes everything.
child psych-- she makes it an interesting class but i think that the tests are kind of hard...dont really need a "text book" but its like an article book that isnt too expensive so its all good! good teacher, makes every classes interesting!!
Nice lady, but cuts you absolutely no slack. Im a psych major and i need to get A's and B's in my psych classes.. I ended up with a 79.25% and asked if there was a little extra credit i could do to get the .25%.. she said no... Now i need to retake the whole class because of .25%... nice-
She is amazing!!! I love her!! Her class is a lot of fun, and you learn so much!! TAKE HER!! The tests are easy if you study!! She doesn't try to trick you, and you have online quizzes for every test!! I laughed all the time, and she is always smiling!! TAKE HER!
Prof Akillas was great. she often sounded like baby and i felt like she didnt know what she was talking about but it was a good class overall. tests were easy if you studied, but the GA lori wetzler made the dumbest practice quizes ever. anyway i hope to take akillas again in psych.
I loved her!! Her classes were not mandatory, but since she is so enthusiatic it makes the class enjoyable so most of the time i still attended. No text book! She writes her own and posts it on blackboard! She writes like she is talking to you so it helps you understand. Tests can be a little hard but if you study you will do fine! TAKE HER!!
she is extremely excited about her subject
This teacher is amazing! She understands that most psych classes are memorizing, so she shakes it up a bit. Very, very cool teacher! Not necessarily an easy A but a great proff! take any class with her!
Prof. Akillas was one of the best teachers I've ever had!! Although attendance was optional, I actually WANTED to come to class each time. She's always excited, keeps your attention with interesting stories and is very kind/understanding. This class is an easy A/B, just study for the tests. You come out of this class and actually learn something.
You would have to be an idiot to not get at least a B in this class. Awesome professor, very easy too. Study the web notes and make note cards and your set.
I love professor Akillas. I had her for General psych and Child Psych. If you take those two classes, they are about the same so if you did good in one, then you should do well in the other. She puts everything in simple terms. Awesome prof. TAKE HER!
I actually got a D the first time i took a Psychology course so I took her this time around. OMG DID SHE BREAK IT DOWN NICELY! if you struggle at ALL with psych for the life of you try to get into her class. She doesn't want you to buy the textbook because she writes it in her words that you can print from the internet. I ended up with an A!
As a freshman, this is not a good class to start off with. The mindset of high school may not prepare you entirely for the workload of this course. I took cohesive notes and only had exams for a grade. Beware, if you are not prepared.
I had life span with a different professor and withdrew because he made the class harder than it needed to be. She makes it easy and tries to be funny and engaging. You will actually learn something and want to. I haven't missed class but I still feel the need to study a good amount for exams they're a little specific. Doesn't recquire textbook.
she's very helpful!! One of the sweetest ladies on campus. She wants to make sure all her students succeed and relates the topics we learned to our everyday lives. I would so take her again
She's pretty easy. Just be ready to read, and take quizzes. Also the textbook is not required.
She's a great professor! She always makes lectures interesting and makes it easy to pass. The extra credit helped so much.
My favorite professor here at KU. Wonderful professor who actually cares about her students. She understands that money is tight so you don't have to get the book, and she even says it like that. Gives good examples and little life stories to go along with certain things. Great professor who made class fun. Take if possible!
She was very funny and tried to make the lectures interactional. She would tell personal stories to help us connect to the learning material. I would definitely take her again.
LOVE her! she is the best and if you have a chance to take her for any class, do it! Lots of extra credit, super nice, very funny lectures and generally very supportive and wants to see all her students succeed. I don't think i have had a better professor than her nor that i ever will!
She's great, a little crazy, but it makes the class a lot more interesting. do your work and you'll easily get a good grade. she explains things in her own words and doesn't use power points made by the textbook company which helps a lot because its relatable.
One of the most supportive, understanding, and caring professors I have had! She makes sure you understand all the material, makes all the classes interesting, and puts her students first. If I ever have the option to take her again, I am definitely going to take it!
Pretty awesome, kinda crazy. Not a very difficult class and you wont ever need the book.
Most of her classes are generally the same, or go over the same general ideas. Her quizzes are frustrating. You have to know what she wants you to answer, not whats actually on the internet sometimes. Super easy, but sometimes frustrating because of how she teaches at times. Listening to her go over gender was frustrating, you may get offended.
She is the best! She is one my favorite teachers at KU! She teaches at such a good pace, and she explains the material so well. Not to mention, shes absolutely hilarious, approachable, and super nice. I look forward to her class on MWF! I highly recommend
Prof Akillas is the sweetest, most caring thing in the whole world. Her class is an easy A, if you apply yourself. Attendance is not mandatory and neither is the book. Her lectures are funny and entertaining. 4 tests al semester, each on 3 chapters and the final is the 4th test, which makes it not cumulative. STRONGLY RECOMMEND!!!
extremely hard tests, hard grader, doesnt give you extra help if needed. DO NOT TAKE!!!!!!!!
real Easy going lady, easy notes in class, go to class or you wont pass, test are very hard, twisted problem-solution type questions that usually have 2-3 answers that could work. I had friends who took the same class with other professors and tests were much simpler. only take her if you NEED the class at the given time
Very hard professor.. doesn't cut you slack. Don't take.
She's the nicest professor I've ever encountered and she genuinely cares about how her students perform. I would definitely take another class with her.
I love professor Akillas. All of her classes are set up the same and are pretty easy, only if you come to class to get the notes. She won't post notes. Class involves four tests, four quizzes, and up to 10 points extra credit for each test. Only complaint is that some test questions are not exactly worded like the notes. Only a few though.
Her quizzes are based off of outdated psychology. She never updates her slides, and the quizzes are practically based on opinion. She uses and teaches terms that aren't even in the DSM anymore but I'm not sure if she knows that. I just hate that I'm not actually learning it feels like.
Honestly the best prof at KU. She's so funny and truly cares about her students. Her notes are short and to the point, and she explains everything so well. She's always so energetic and passionate. Probably one of the best profs I'll ever have
She taught Addition: Biopsychosocial Approach at Cedar Crest and she was awesome! I got a lot out of the class and she made it very interesting. Wish she was a permanent professor at the school
okay teacher, dispises cell phones so don't even bring it to class or you'll be kicked out
Great professor !! And amazing person!!!
Amazing professor. She has all of her indepth notes online that correlate with her lectures. She's hilarious and the tests aren't too bad. She gives 4 tests and 12 short quizzes online (with notes accessible). Read the online notes and you will have no problem passing the class. I recommend going, though. She's awesome!!
An outstanding professor! Great lectures and is really clear in explaining the material! Hilarious ways to remember it as well. This class made me realize that I am in the right major. Really understanding! Couldn't of asked for a better professor!
Very good sense of humor which made class interesting. Reasonably easy class if you prepared properly for the multiple choice scantron tests that she uses. Incredibly compassionate and easy to talk to.
she's an amazing professor. The class is super easy as long as you show up. Lots of note taking. She lectures with power points but she is easy to listen to. She has lots of good videos that she shows relating to the topics. Only a few 50 question tests and no homework. there is extra credit if you get the textbook, but you don't need it.
Easy A. Literally just go to class and take the notes. She's nice and chill, if you fail it's your fault. There's so many opportunities for extra credit, but you barely need it.
Everyone loves Professor Akillas end of story. Luckily I'm a psych major and had her twice my freshmen year. I got high B's (I slacked a tiny bit).
Loved her, full note taking the whole time from powerpoints in class. After a section is over she uploads the lecture on d2l, it has some additional information that you also get tested on. Quizzes on d2l, 1 quiz for every section she teaches and 1 exam on 3 sections, the quizzes aren't due until the date of the scheduled exam which is really neat
Topics are covered through class powerpoints although the exact PowerPoints arent posted so attendance is recommended (she does post a word document with the information) and all exams are straight from the PowerPoint. No surprises here, very straight forward. Each topic has a 10 question quiz online with information covered from PowerPoint/Docs
I had the privilege of having Professor Akillas for General Psychology, Adolescent Psychology, and lastly this course Child Psychology. She is an amazing professor! I highly recommend having a class with her. She knows what she is talking about and cares so much about her students. If you don't pass it's because you chose not to show up.
She is a really great teacher and takes pride in her work. She is very lively during her lectures and shows videos that do an awesome job of further explaining what she is talking about. She doesn't take attendance, and if you miss class don't stress it because she posts lecture notes at the end of each topic. Easy A if you attend class though.
Amazing professor and very lively during lectures. She shows relevant videos that further explain what she is talking about. She doesn't take attendance, but if you miss class don't stress because she posts lecture notes on D2L after each topic is done. There's 12 online quizzes and 4 tests and they are easy as long as you study. highly recommend
I took Prof Akillas for FYS-Adulting and it was AMAZING! I learned so much. She is so lively during lectures and makes them so easy to pay attention. Do your assignments, take good notes, and study. She makes it so easy to get an A you just NEED to do the work. I love her and will be taking her again in the future!
The class itself was super easy. As long as you did the work and took notes you should have no problem passing with a good grade. However, Professor Akillas is just plain awful. She tries to make her lectures funny but ends up either being offensive or annoying. She makes it blatantly clear that she has a boomer attitude and does not like Gen Z
Easy prof. Does a lot of in class work and basically no homework aside from 2 easy projects and a reflection essay based on your opinion so its easy. Requires 2 novels as textbooks and you will need them but they are cheap on amazon
Every class is a lecture, but they are interesting and he has good stories. No matter how great my notes were and how much I studied, The test are fairly hard in my opinion. The tests are hard but they're passable, and you make it up with easy home assignments.
She is a truly amazing professor. SO personable and energetic, u can tell she is very passionate. Lectures r informative and entertaining; she even adds short videos. Quizzes just have info from the textbook, u could also do the textbook reviews for extra credit. Tests do have a lot of info, but there is also a bonus question from smthng in class
Took 8 wk online class and loved it. Her lectures are so good. She is relatable, positive and fun. Just loved her explanations. Lectures are amazing. She's quick to respond and quick with grades.
LOVE her. She's great. The tests are hard but if you simply study, read the textbook and do the extra credits you'll past with a good grade.
I took Professor Akillas for PSY 250 her class was very lecture and book-heavy. In her class, you learn about many things such as physical, mental, and learning disabilities but it really doesn't she follows what she teaches in her own class. She was a nice person but not my kind of teacher, I wouldn't choose to take class another class with her.
She is absolutely amazing and makes every opportunity for her students to succeed and offers help when needed. Highly recommend her for anyone interested in psychology or just looking for a fun and informative class to take.
She is pretty nice, had her online for personality. Relatively easy class. Terrible communicator, I had a problem with inclusive access, and she told me to "take all the time I need", "Have until next test to take it", she gave me 0's after 2 weeks well before the next unit, and then told me I was wrong about what she said in her emails.
Very positive helpful Professor. I am happy to have her as my FYS in my Freshmen year. She does not stress me out with work. Her assignments are very straight forward and chill. Taking notes and showing up is the only recommendation. There are quizzes that are open note and book which is even better. I enjoy her class very much.
She is very nice, but I will not be taking her again. She lectures, and you take notes. She doesn't go over everything in class so get ready to read pages of extra notes. Her exams are timed 25 minutes, and half of the class does not finish. Ridiculous. She is not understanding whatsoever, and could care less about anyones personal life. 1/10.
She's a little kooky but she's fun and good at teaching. You can tell she's passionate about children and psychology. She's also cool because she never takes attendance and tells you to stay home if you're sick.
Prof. Akillas is a great professor and she cares about her student's success. Gives 'assignment days' where you have off from class to complete all the work. She doesn't take attendance, but if you don't show up, you won't have the notes for tests (unless you get them from a friend).
If you are looking for an easy class, I strongly recommend this one. Every class is notes for the entire duration, but she makes it interesting. She also posts the notes online. The notes in person are definitely better though. I would love to have her again.
Prof. Akillas is very fun to be around doesn't bore you and easy credits.
She is a great professor and very personable!! The only thing I would critique is that she only grades based on ability of online quizzes. Other than that she is amazing!!
Professor Akillas is a very kind and funny professor whose lectures are very interesting. She makes it easy to understand the content and class is not mandatory, but you will miss the slides which she does not post. The class was easy, but grades are solely based on timed exams and video quizzes.
kinda weird. i skip her class most days because everything we have to do is posted online so there really is no reason to go. do not have the grade for the class yet but i think i passed with a B-B+ so shes pretty easy. her as a person though shes kinda weird but likeable and engages with class
She is one of the best teachers I have had. Lectures were interesting and she would always come into them with energy and be ready to teach. She gave many examples to help understand what she was teaching. Tests can be hard because there are a lot of notes, but if you study the quizzes and tests are not bad.
so sweeet!!! shes so cute and quirky, it really brings her personality all together. able to work on your hw at your own speed. all the notes you take are on the exams. she also gives very simple assignments. easy A or B !!
I absolutely adored her class. She never took attendance, and she offered a 30 point extra credit assignment. As long as you try and do the assignments you will be fine, they are pretty simple. I ended with a 101% and I would love to take her again in the future.
If you need to take abnormal psy 250. I would take it with her. This is a 5 week class over the summer and its layed out with asynchronous on D2L. The quizzes were multiple choice and video quizzes.
Very good professor. Her lectures are clear and very helpful especially for a freshman. She is so sweet and actually cares about her students by asking about their days and what is going on. Tests are all open note and can use your book so if you fail that is on you. Theres extra credit opportunities and there is no way that anyone should fail.
She is so sweet and super laid back. She basically gives you the layout of the entire semester on the first day and gives you so much time to complete a couple videos and three exams that are open note for the entire month. She won't accept late work but you honestly shouldn't even need extra time to complete these assignments because they are easy
I loved having Professor Akillas as my first-year seminar instructor. I took the course "New Adulting" that she teaches as a required first-year seminar class. The class is so easy, and as long as you do the work, attend class most days, and participate in group reading discussions, you will find this class fun and relaxing.
Professor Akillas is awesome. I took her for Psych of Personality. Her class is mainly lecture with a powerpoint which she does not give out and you have to go to class to get the notes. The quizzes are multiple choice they are hard, but if you study you'll be fine. She gives out a syllabus the first day and laid out the rest of the semster.
She is awsome. I took psy 360 intro to clinical psychology I. This was a class were she lectures with powerpoints, and had to read a novel and have groups with a book decision. There were grades for book duscussions which you can't miss. The quizzes were based from book chapters and novel quizzes the quizzes were multiple choice.
This class consists of lectures with online multiple-choice exams and video quizzes for grades. Video quizzes are multiple-choice quizzes on short videos you watch outside of class. Prof Akillas keeps lectures interesting as she is very animated and fun, but she doesn't post lectures online. This class was super interesting and very easy to pass!!!
Professor Akillas is probably the best professor that I've had so far. I've had her three times in my sophomore year, and each class with her was a treat. Most if not all of your grade will come from unit or chapter quizzes, which are easy enough that you need to try to mess them up. Take her classes, she's great.
Prof. Akillas has a quirky teaching style, but her passion for the subject really shines through. While the exams can be challenging, her flexible policies and Unstuck study make the class manageable. An easy A or B if you put in the work.
She is a little kooky but very kind. She has a lot of experience in the field and presents the material in a way that is easy to understand. Very lecture heavy but she makes them fun and interactive. The workload is very much on your own timeline which is nice. Easy to work with if you need accommodations. Incredibly organized D2L. Would retake her
One of if not my favorite professors I've had at KU I'm excited to have her for more classes. Uses great real world examples to help students view the disorders conceptually
My favorite professor at Kutztown. Her lectures are interesting and engaging. She gives opportunities to receive extra credit, and reminds about upcoming assignments regularly.
My favorite psych professor. She always makes classes fun and actually acts out what she's explaining so you can get a better understanding of what she is talking about.
