Great teacher and a fun class to attend. I highly recommend Dr. Kutner!
Great, easy, course! He shares a lot of clinical stories, which is interesting and helpful. He also has a dirty humor, which is different and lightens up harsh topics of abnormal psychology. I highly recommend this course.
Great, easy course! He shares a lot of clinical stories, which is interesting and helpful. He also has a dirty humor, which is different and lightens up harsh topics of abnormal psychology. I highly recommend this course.
Dr. Kutner is great! I took him for a couple courses and I really liked him. He has 3 exams and he gives study guides that are very helpful. He lets you choose between a presentation and a paper! He is funny and has a lot of interesting stories! He is very chill and nice! I recommend Dr. Kutner to anyone and everyone! Great guy!!!
Dr. Kutner satisfied my expectations of this course. He's very well prepared, clear, and enjoyable. I liked the way he taught this course, having students grade other students presentations instead. If you're not a presenter, don't worry you can write a paper (have fun with that). Notes are provided, so students are able to listen and absorb info.
He is awesome his tests are based off his tidy guides and his stories and teaching style keeps things interesting... yea his sense of humor is a little dirty but he keeps things like sexual dysfunction light =) i am taking him again next semester
Great teacher. He is very prompt at returning emails and answering any questions you have. He also keeps class entertaining.
is was definitely one of my favorite classes this semester and in psychology overall. all you have to do is email him and he send you the powerpoint lectures notes. pretty much, there are 4 exams and a presentation or paper. he gives out a study guide a week before the exam and everything on the study guide is on the exam. Take him :)
He gets to the point with his lectures and conversations. You need to have a sense of humor to be in his class. Provides study guides and lecture notes.
Class is easy. Easy paper/presentation. Presentations are graded by students. Overall, not my favorite class. I'm not big on the way he presented his notes. Reads paragraphs of information straight from the slides. Funny guy, though.
Dr. Kutner is great. He is very nice and chill. He is great at promptly getting back to you. He shares interesting experiences he has in the field. He is hilarious!! He made me laugh every class. His class is great for both 408 and 441, I highly recommend Dr. Kutner!!
He rocks! Super nice.
Dr. Kutner is a good teacher and very funny as long as you like a dry sense of humor, which is my favorite! Don't take this class if you do not have good attendance habits. Three tests that you can ace as long as you do the study guide ahead of time. all and all good class!
Class was enjoyable, covers topics everyone usually wants to hear and/or talk about. The teacher is pretty easy, gives study guides prior to class as well. Everything is powerpoints so studying is easy. Just 3 tests and a paper!
Very easy, interesting class. Teacher is funny and very laid back. Exams are just like the study guide, so no surprises. Overall, definitely would recommend the course.
Dr. Kutner is a really nice guy and the class is easy as long and you have a good understanding of the study guide he give before each test. I recommend taking at least one of his classes. I can almost guarantee that you'll take another one.
My favorite class at UNLV. He's very laid back and funny. Only 3 tests. Presentation or you can choose to write a paper good luck on that.
He is a really nice guy who is willing to help students out. He gives you a study guide before the exam and makes all the power points available to you. As long as you pay attention in class and do well on the study guide you will do well in the class.
I really enjoyed this professor. He gave some interesting stories about people he has looked at being a clinical psychologist. Overall, I liked the class.
I wish I would have had Dr. Kutner for all my Psy classes. Very interesting class and makes all the power points available. Also has a study guide for each exam which also helps.
Great class and the professor has a lot of background experience and is funny
This class was simultaneously the easiest, and the most boring, I have ever had. With a subject like history of psych though, I'm not sure you can blame him.
This was a enjoyable class, I would definitely recommend Dr. K! If you show up and pay attention, there is no reason to not be successful. There was a paper or presentation required, push yourself and do the presentation, I had an absolute blast completing and presenting it!
this class was fairly easy if you show up to lecture there is no reason you wont get all good grades on the tests. the tests are very straight forward. the study guide is almost exact to the test so look over the study guide. i really enjoyed this class it was fun and interesting
Easy class, 2 tests, you choose a paper or presentation, and then the final. Do the 3 study guides, and you'll get an A. Can't be absent more then 3 times. The class is suppose to be 3 hrs, but he always let us out an hour and a half in.
Really easy going and informative.
Loved this class! Definitely keeps your interest.
Interesting subject. He has a lot of experience with famous Psychology cases!
Tis class was easy because he gives study guides prior to the tests. I don't like that attendance is mandatory but overall he is a good professor.
Dr. Kutner is knowledgeable and easy going. Passing the class is easy if you SHOW UP and take his study guides seriously. I would take him again and I do recommend!
Dr. Kutner has a lot of experience and he is very helpful. There's three exams and he provides a clear study guide for each one. You also have to do either a presentation or write a paper. Loved this class and learned a lot.
Definitely awesome class! Dr. Kutner is an excellent professor. Sometimes it can be little bit boring in class but Dr. Kutner make sure that you listen to him. There is a study guide that really helps you in the test. Attendance is a must!
Dr. Kutner is incredibly knowledgeable in the field of psychology. The class was quite interesting, really broadened my understanding of abnormal psychology. Attendance is mandatory, he gives you a choice between a paper or presentation, and the study guides are SUPER helpful for the exams. Overall, a great class!
Dr. Kutner is a great professor. He is very approachable and helps you to understand concepts thoroughly. He also likes to play videos in class to help students get a grasp of abnormal behavior within the context of the course. The study guides are incredibly helpful. Great class.
Dr. Kutner is an amazing professor, and if you are in the field of mental health & psychology, he will totally make it worthwhile. He knows his stuff, and makes college tuition worth paying for. UNLV needs to hire more professors like him! He's got a dry sense of humor, which is hilarious, too!
Awesome professor, awesome class. 3 exams (final is not cumulative)and your choice of either a 1500 work paper or a 15-20 minute presentation. Presentation are graded by the students. Dr. Kutner makes class very interesting, so attending class isn't a drag. He also provides a study guide for each exam, which are extremely helpful. TAKE HIM !!
Dr. Kutner is a wonderful teacher. His class is very interesting and easy to get through. Consists of some lectures and class usually lets out early. Very easy class to pass. I highly recommend taking him!!
Very easy class.Class always ended early. You either choose to do a research paper or presentation from a random topic and pretty easy. The study guides he hands out are VERY similar to the actual tests. And he's a cool and funny professor and makes the class interesting. Going to class is mandatory, but shouldn't be. Great class! Take him!
This class is an easy A/B. The grading was straightforward. I found the presentation(not the subject matter) of the course a bit dry and bland. There were times when I dreaded going a little bit because it was that dull. This could and should be an online class. Still, it was a good class and I would take it again. Dr. Kutner's a good person.
Very interesting and beneficial class! Thank Professor.
This class is everything positive that everyone has noted. The only down fall is how long the class is; however, that is out of the professors control.
Great instructor show up. Do the presentation.
Loved the class. Made me look into this as a future profession.
The information presented and the textbook are not easy, they are challenging. But Dr. Kutner organizes his lectures clearly and also provides relevant videos that are very helpful in understanding the course. He has great experience in the field, a great sense of humor and his classes are a real pleasure.
Content is challenging, but doesn't need to be. Explains basic criteria well. Can't understand what you mean when asking difficult questions. Has good personal experience to share. Tests on sometimes strange details from the book. Tests are from the book publisher, so they don't make perfect sense. He offers an extra credit short essay on it.
Attend the lectures, complete the study guides, and you will do well. The chapters are long and the reading requirements are demanding, but he does a great job of bringing it all together in his lectures. He is organized and charismatic. He also adds humor and tells stories of his former patients to make things interesting. Take his class!
Definitely one of my favorite classes and one of my favorite professors. Lectures can seem long if you take the 3hour class but they are never boring. He knows a lot and can explain things in 10 different ways until everyone understands. Fun class, DO TAKE.
The professor is straight forward with what you need to learn, provides all the material and information you need to learn to pass the class with an A easily. Two exams worth 40% each, provided with study guides directly with what's on exams, and you get to choose one easy presentation-the classmates grade you on it, or a 5 page paper OVERALL GREAT
I would highly recommend this professor! Study his powerpoints + read the book chapters + complete study guide= Easy A. A presentation (ppt) or essay paper on a randomly selected topic is required. Awesome class, I learned a lot and Kutner rocked!
This was such a good and interesting class. Your grade is based on the midterm, the final, and either a powerpoint presentation or a paper. I suggest the presentation. It is easy to get an A because he gives you very specific study guides for each test. I highly recommend this teacher!
i would highly recommend taking Dr. Kutner as your Psy 341 prof.. his class is an easy A.. he gives out study guides for midterm and finals and those are the ones on the exams. he'll post answers to the study guide online as well. u just need to attend his class, listen to his lectures and do either powerpoint presentation or paper.
This is a fun course! I looked at it more like a once per week conversation on psychology, not lecture. His study guides are direct questions he uses in exams so if you put a little time into it, you'll definitely get an A. The presentations are the best part! Even if you're super nervous and have a hard time speaking publicly, DO IT :)
This professor is great. For Abnormal Psych you HAVE TO READ THE BOOK! His exams are verbatim from the review. Also, I highly recommend to present in class on the topic you are given rather than write a paper. The class grades you and it is an easy A. Dr Kutner is very funny with a dry sense of humor. He reminds me of a laid back Adam Sandler.
If you miss more than 3 classes, you fail. There's a sign in sheet. Lecture and note style class. You must complete a final project with is your choice of a 1500 word paper or a 15 min presentation. The topic is not up to you, it's assigned. Midterm and final, both with very helpful study guides! Easy class, learned some stuff, HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Great class and awesome professor. Even though the class is long, it doesn't seem like it because his lectures are interesting and he usually finished like 30 minutes early. He is also pretty funny. The midterm and final are easy if you do the study guide. Also, it's easier if you do the presentation because the class grades it.
This professor is great. Exams are easy if you DO THE STUDY GUIDE. Choose the presentation over the paper because the class grades you. The class is 3 hrs but he makes it interesting with his dry sense of humor. I highly recommend taking him.
I've taken Dr Kutner twice and really like him. He's predictable. No matter which class you take, he lectures, expects you to attend class, assigns a paper/presentation (you pick which one you want to do) at the beginning of the semester that isn't due until the end of the semester, and he provides study guides prior to each exam.
Easy class. But attendance is mandatory which sucks. Class is kind of boring but he lets us out late. DO THE STUDY GUIDE. Not sure what type of grader he is- haven't received grade for my paper yet. Hopefully he's not a hard grader as he warned us. Only two tests and one paper OR presentation. He's very knowledgable, and shares cool stories.
Dr. Kutner is pretty boring & reads mostly from the slides but his study guides are very helpful for the tests. Grade consists of 2 tests and one paper OR presentation (your pick)Show up, do the study guide & you will do well. Nice guy.
Great great professor! Just do study guides, and memorize them! Do presentation or paper and you be fine.
super cool guy, dry humor and laid back.
Awesome professor - a little like listening to Ben Stein (Clear Eyes commercial from the 80s) but has a good sense of humor. You'll learn a lot from him and get a good laugh at the same time. 2 exams (he gives a study guide) and a paper OR a presentation (class graded!). I wrote a paper and scored an A+ ... I definitely recommend his class.
I really liked this class because not only did I actually learn a lot of interesting things, but if you do the study guide he gives and put effort to the presentation or paper, you should pretty much get an A! He's a cool guy and has a lot of psych experience. If you don't take him, you're missing out!
Very interesting! Enjoyed this class a lot! His voice is a little monotone but he's able to get the concepts clear.
You need to go to class! Either a paper (graded by him) or a presentation (graded by the class) which is 20% of your grade and you do it on a random topic assigned on the first day. Finally the midterm and final are each worth 40% of your grade, 100 questions, multiple choice, and they are very hard so study the study guide he gives you.
He's a pretty easy grader. His lectures are pretty dry but he makes a few jokes here and there. His exams are straight out of the lecture material which he provides a study guide for. He gives you the option of doing a presentation or a paper. The material covered in class is really interesting his voice is just so monotone.
The class is pretty straight forward; two tests, and an option of paper or class ppt. He is very mono-tone, but has a quiet sense of humor. He gives examples from his life experiences with patients that he's had. He is VERY understandable (as he helped me reschedule my midterm due to my daughters birth). DEFINITELY TAKE HIM OR YOUR MISSING OUT!!!!!
He was a good professor. I took the 3 hours class, and he kept it relatively interesting, with anecdotes, and videos. He also has an interesting past that he shares a bit of during class. you can tell he is interested in psych, but seems more interested in doing, not teaching. That is a plus in my book, because I would rather learn from a 'doer.'
First of all, attendance is a must! You have the choice of either a paper or presentation. He is a bit of a tough on the paper, and the class grades your presentation. So if you're a good presenter, do it. Otherwise, stick to a paper. There are only two exams, but the study guide is essentially the exact same thing; so do the study guides!
Dr. Kutner works full time in the field and is extremely knowledgeable about the material being taught. He always has interesting stories to share with the class, allowing students to get a real-world feel for the practice of psychology. I would highly recommend taking a class from him. Grading is straightforward and fair!
PowerPoint slides are posted online and the exam reviews are almost identical to the exams. Easy A if you do the review. Choice of doing a paper or presentation, do the presentation. Attendance is taken for credit but the lectures aren't necessary for passing the class.
Dr. Robert Kutner is a good professor. Our class consisted of lectures, a mid-term, presentation or paper, and a final exam. Make sure to utilize the resources he provides. Kutner is knowledgeable and shares some of his clinical experiences with his students. Good sense of humor, but I thought it was inappropriate at times. Laid-back :p
Taking this course was certainly interesting. Dr. Kutner is a knowledgeable professor. Attendance and reading are vital in order to pass this course. Anyone can get an A, however, one must be willing to work for it. 1 midterm, 1 presentationresearch paper and 1 final. Dr. Kutner will provide extra credit. Would certainly take again.
Dr. Kutner is a great professor. Provides many real world anecdotes to supplement lectures with his experience in the field. Course goals are clear and straight forward. 1 midterm, 1 final, and a choice of either a presentation or paper. Tests easy enough if you prep up for them with the provided study guide. Put in the work and it's an easy A.
Two exams; all material comes from book. Attendance required. If you're interested in abnormal psych, Dr. Kutner is extremely helpful. You need to pay attention and it'll be easy going. One of my favorite classes.
Coool beans.
Tests and lectures come straight from the book; Have to make an effort and you'll do fine. Attendance is required. Definitely one of my favorite professors to take.
Need an easy class for a psychology credit this is the class for you. There is 3 test and one presentation. As long as you do the study guide you should pass with flying colors
Need an easy class for a psychology credit this is the class for you. There is 3 test and one presentation. As long as you do the study guide you should pass with flying colors.
I enjoyed the class
awesome and fun!
A bit dull, but that may be because of the class time. He didn't give many assignments, so getting good exams grades was important.
Attendance is part of your grade so show up. Lectures are based off a basically 1 to 2 chapters a class and are powerpoint presented (which are available on dropbox). There are about 3 exams and study guides are provided plus a week off prior to the exam for studying. If you show up, do the study guides, and do your final paper or presentation..A?
Dr. Kutner is very clear, fair, sharp, and very approachable. This is my second class with him, and recommend his class
Professor Kutner is a very busy person from what I noticed in lecture, however he makes time to help you if you need! There were 2 exams (midterm and final) both he gave study guides for and your choice of a presentation (on a specific disordercondition) or an essay.... but again your choice! Finally I would definitely recommend you take him !!!
This is my 3rd class with Dr. Kutner and I would take more of his classes if I wasn't graduating. He's fair and gets to the point. Lectures can be long but he slips jokes in to keep it interesting. Expect to attend class and do the required work. It's really not a lot to ask. Would recommend to anyone.
Dr. Kutner is a great professor, he is understanding and will work with you. His test are a bit hard, but if you study the review you should do fine. I've taken him 3 times, and next semester I will be taking him again.
Easy A if you are interested in abnormal psychology. Here's an advice though, get ready to read a lot of chapters because they will be on the test. Laid back professor and he isn't so hard on grading the tests or the final paper and presentation. Be ready to do some work and read the assigned chapters and you're fine!
Dr. Kutner was an easy A if you attended lecture, and did the presentation and essay. The exams (only 2) were also very easy. Still, I do wish Dr. Kutner would have brought more enthusiasm to lectures and be more prepared for lecture (video links wouldn't work). Abnormal Psy is so interesting but Dr. Kutner's teaching style took away from that.
Class is easy. Read the chapters, review notes, and do what you have to do, you will pass. He is very helpful! I would take him again!
He is a great guy, hes funny. Dont talk in class while hes talking or he will call you out on it. Tests are a little hard if you do not read the book. Study guides are 100 questions! but 1/3 of it goes on the test, 1/3 is from lecture and 1/3 is from the book so make sure you actually read the book. Class isnt enough since there is so much
Very cool professor, Teaches insightful information. If you are in need of a CRJ credit this is the perfect class. Great professor and fun class.
The class is awesome and Kutner is pretty good too. He has clear expectations, no surprises, ever. Lectures are easy to follow and the book stays right on point with the class. It is a lot of information to cover but the studyguides he gives are exactly what you need. There's one presentation and paper which are on the same topic. Great class!
This teacher is very knowledgable however he gives 2 100 question tests that are very hard, He does give a good study guide with most of the answers on it so if you do the work, you will pass. He basically only reads word for word the powerpoint presentations that he created. Not much else. You have to type one paper and give a 15 min talk onit
Good professor, works with the students when things happen. For example the whole class didn't do so well on the mid term, but he curved it, which helped out tremendously.
Pay attention during class, show up to class, read the chapters. Do this and receive an A. Tests are not difficult and are very straight forward.
He is a great instructor. He has a great personality and makes the lectures fun yet informative. Test is based off of a 100 question study guide. As long as you know those answers you will pass with an A.
This is the 2nd class I've taken w/ Dr. Kutner (PSY 469 + PSY 341). I definitely would take him again if he offered other courses. He knows his stuff! Lectures are long and may get boring, but he throws in jokes here and there to keep you awake. Assignments were a presentation, a 4-5 page essay, midterm, and final.
Amazing! He should be recognized as one of the best at UNLV.
There was a final and midterm (100 questions each) but he gives the questions to them. there was also a paper and presentation. he grades easily but the lectures are super boring because he is monotone. he was kinda rude but gave us a curve on our exams. need the book to answer study guide questions. attendance was somewhat mandatory
Dr. Kutner is an excellent teacher. He has a lot of experience in the field too. His class is straightforward, but you have do the work to get a good grade. He can be quite funny at times too. I would definitely recommend taking him.
Class lectures were boring. Regurgitated material from textbook onto PowerPoint. Does provide study guide for exams but sometimes answers are not in textbook or on slides. Takes attendance every class for participation percentage for grade. No way to tell how your doing in class but to ask cause he doesn't provide feedback on grades.
Very funny and sarcastic. Taking again next semester!
I like him. hes very straight forward
Solid professor. The course material is interesting, his study guides reflect the material on the exam, and he has some interesting stories to share. Only thing I didn't care for were the PowerPoint presentations, otherwise he's definitely worth taking.
Dr. Robert Kutner is one of the best professors I have taken. His classes are one per week so they are "abnormally" long but the lectures themselves are interesting plus Dr. Kutner has a great sense of humor. Assignments are a presentation, an essay, midterm and a final and as long as you read and do his study guide, you'll be fine! TAKE DR. KUTNER
I love Dr. Kutner. I cannot stress that enough. His PSY 469 class consists of one presentation, one paper, and two tests. He gives a study guide on what the test is on. He's actually pretty funny as well. He's honestly one of my favorite professor, I think in the top two favorites. He's amazing, just take his class!!
Dr. Kutner's class is pretty straightforward. You have to work and put the effort in. He knows his stuff for sure, he'll give you lots of stories and he's funny. He has clear grading criteria and as long as you come to class, pay attention and do your study guides, you should be fine!
The Worst! when the class average for the midterm from both his tues&thurs classes are below a 56% there is a problem with the prof. No straight answer on whether or not he was going to curve. he kept toying with us. I needed this class to graduate, ended up stressing so much I got an ulcer. spent more time memorizing for final than learning.
If you're interested in forensic psychologist, then you definitely take his class. Dr. Kutner is not your traditional research guy, he actually has some real world experience in his field and you'll hear many of his personal anecdotes during lecture.
Class is easy peasy sometimes interesting but I'm taking the 2hr class so I get tired after a while. He's very straight forward no tricky exams . If you do the study guide, you pass the exams (2). You have the option of a 4pg paper or a 15min presentation. Pretty simple, chill guy, is monotone, but he's pretty funny. I like the class overall.
Dr. Kutner provides the syllabus, both study guides and all the lecture slides for the semester online. This class ONLY has one 4-5 pg paper (yes, it's double spaced), along with a presentation on the same topic. There are only two exams (one midterm and final). Class was interesting and I loved it! Dr. Kutner is unique and a great professor!
This professor tells you exactly what's expected in the syllabus! If you pay attention in class, read the book, and do your study guides then you'll get an A! He also has a dry sense of humor that makes class a lot of fun. Great professor!!
He is a good professor. Does not assign homework throughout the semester. Just 1 paper, a presentation on your paper, which you get to chose when you want to present, a midterm and a final. He give a study guide for both tests, they are 100 questions, but he also grades on a curve, which is awesome. He shares interesting stories and experiences.
Great professor, with a sarcastic sense of humor! Has knowledge of topic and stories to keep the topics interesting. Clear grading criteria in the syllabus. I would highly recommend!
He is funny and unique. One presentation he gives you the topic which is nice. About 4-5 page paper it is easy. Then two exams he gives a study guide and it's easy. He really helps just ask. The class is great and different. Easy and direct.
Was a very clear grader and very easy going. I would take him again. Only downside was the presentation we had to do (only because I hate speaking) but he let the class grade you. Also provides study guides for the mid-term and final. Very helpful! You will not regret taking him.
Good teacher. Enjoyable class. He knows the material, he's funny, and he is very specific in what is expected in the course. It's all listed in the syllabus. A lot of people did not attend a lot of the classes during the semester, but I found the lectures very helpful.
Good class, lectures are straightforward.
For the class your whole grade consists of a presentation, midterm and final. Class was easy and Kutner is a funny guy, has dry humor. His voice is a little monotonous which can be hard to listen to, but his jokes make up for it. Great professor.
There's only so much academic information that can be learned from a textbook. Dr. Kutner can relate the material to his real life experiences. A midterm, final and class project is all you'll have to worry about. you'll be well prepared to take the exams. And do the presentation!
Dr. Kutner is very knowledgeable and has lots of experience. Grades were based on two exams and presentations. The textbook is very useful for the study guides which are similar to the exams. I would definitely take him if you are able to!
Pretty solid lecturer, use your time wisely in his class though! Knows what he's talking about, his experience in the field is inspirational and will share that with the class!
He is very funny and works as a psychologist in a treatment facility so he has great real-life examples and stories. Only grades are 100Q midterm, 100Q final, and either a paper or class presentation. Classmates grade you on presentation (he lets you bring treats to bribe them). 100 Q studyguide for both midterm and final (same Q's and order).
He is pretty monotonic, which can make a 3hr lecture hard to pay attention to. He has interesting stories, But the class is based on two exams, each cover one half of the book and are 40% of your grade. The last 20% comes for doing a paper/presentation. He gives study guides for the exams. He is a very smart man, can just be boring at times.
Dr. Kutner is very knowledgable of the material and makes the class into a fun learning environment. He has a good sense of humor; you won't be bored in that class. For his abnormal Psychology class you will have the chance to pick to either do a presentation or a paper. Pick the presentation, is very fun and you will be graded by your peers.
Easy class. Makes his expectations clear. Easy A. Presentation or paper and two exams. Gives you study guides!
This is my second class with Dr. Kutner, and I was just as pleased as I was before. Dr. Kutner really knows what he is talking about, and I probably learn more in his class than most. He grades based off of one presentation/paper and two tests. Study guide for both tests, and very straightforward! Highly recommend.
Attendance required to know what is happening and your grade. Your grade is mostly based off of a midterm, final and a paper/presentation (your choice on which one you pick). If you pick presentation you are graded by your peers and its a pretty easy A. For midterm and finals he provides a study guide and all answers in book or online.
Your grade is based off of a midterm, final and a paper/presentation (you decide whether to present or paper before knowing your topic that you at random). If you pick presentation you are graded by your class mates and its a pretty chill. For midterm and finals he provides a study guide and all answers in book or online.
Dr. Kutner is a wonderful professor. I thoroughly enjoyed his class and found his lectures to be informative and entertaining. There is a book for this class, but you could definitely get by on just the lectures alone. You are only graded on three things- two exams and a project/paper. Highly recommend.
I have to say that Dr. Kutner can be a bit monotone throughout the whole class lecture, however, he manages to keep the class entertained with fun video clips during the lecture. This class is graded based off on a midterm and final, both being 100 questions and the option of either a paper or presentation.
Easy class, reads off slides. Ensure you study slides and attendance is part of grade.
Great professor with great content. Although it is a once per week class, it can be boring in the middle, but Dr. Kutner keeps the class entertained with dry humor. Study the powerpoints, do the study guide and you should be fine in this course
Grade is midterm and final, with an additional project grade that you can pick, choices are presentation graded by your peers or an APA format essay graded by the instructor. Attendance not graded but important to know what is happening with your grade. Study guide is super helpful for two exams
Dr. Kutner is a clinical psychologist (and adjunct professor) so he brings great insight into the classroom. He tries to help you succeed as much as possible!
Truly awful professor IF you actually want to learn something. If you want an easy A, show up for class, study posted Powerpoints, and DO THE STUDY GUIDE. He took an interesting subject, and made it dry. Monotone, off-the-Powerpoint lectures. Make sure you choose the presentation over the essay. Easy A, but I actually wanted to learn something :/
Dr. Robert Kutner is by far the easiest, most lenient professor Ive taken at UNLV. He is an easy grader, with a midterm exam, a paper or presentation (your pick), and a final exam. He does provide you with a study guide with lots of helpful questions for both exams. He does count attendance points.
What he wants from you is clear. Tests are easy if you study and pay attention in class. Lots of opportunity to ask questions and clear stuff up.
Dr. Kutner is clear about what he wants. This is my second semester taking him and i highly recommend taking him. Everything is straight forward, the syllabus has all the info you need and he provides study guides for exams. He also will give feedback if requested. Very caring!
Theres a project you can choose a debate, paper, or PowerPoint based on a certain subject you pick by chance. No Hw or quizzes just the mid term and final and a project.
For this semester, it was half in person and half online. The first part was great with Prof. Kutner's thorough lectures and personal experience from his work. After COVID, it was just doing the other 2/3 assignments in the class for the course using the book. It was a great class and I wish it could've been in person. Just focus on 3 main grades!
This Professor doesnt add anything to the lessons besides just reading the PowerPoints and watching full length YouTube videos. The only good thing is that you only have 3 assignments the whole semester: midterm, presentation or paper, and final. Attendance counts, but honestly, the class is boring and it is hard to want to keep attending with him
I really enjoyed his class this semester! He has experience in working in the field so it was pretty interesting. You have the option to do a paper or presentation and just one midterm and final. Really straightforward if you show up to class. Highly recommend!!
Very easy class, attendance is not mandatory. There is an option between oral presentation or an essay paper, one midterm and one final. The study guide is basically your test questions. Extra credit at the end of each exam.
He is one of the best professors at UNLV because he cares about students success. Follow his guidelines and you will do fine.
great professor overall. i learned a lot from this class, it was very interesting and i would take it again.
Your grade is based on a midterm and finale, both 100 questions and a written response that counts as extra credit. You can also choose from a 1500 word paper to 15 minute presentation that will also count towards your grade. The exams are identical to the study guides and professor Kutner responds fairly quick. Overall, it is a easy class.
Dr. Kutner is an amazing professor and very knowledgeable about the topics covered in class. He is a tough grader and only has a midterm, term paper, and a final. He gives out a study guide a week before each exam for you to study. Whatever is on the study guides are the same questions (just different formats) on the exams.
Dr. Kutner is a really awesome professor! This is one of the most lecture-heavy courses that I have taken and he monotone. Regardless, he is a very straightforward teacher. He gives out study guides a week before the midterm and final, and allows students to take the week off prior to study. There is also an option for a presentation or a paper!
