Another teacher many will hate as they want a free ride through college with no effort. He teacher at a high level, but the end result is you learn alot more. His tests are difficult, but he is very good at covering the subject matter and gives all the notes in powerpoint. I had a few classes with him and each one I walked away happy with at the end as I learned so much that I still remember years later. Highly recommended for psych majors and serious students.

Khoo is a decent prof...the only big problem is that the tests and quizzes are really hard. The average grade for our class on them has been around 50. If you read the book and memorize everything, you'll be okay. Realistically, come to class, study hard and read the book and maybe you'll get a C. He can be funny sometimes and doesn't have the best english. He is definitely willing to help, but can be a bit vague and unclear at times as well. overall, average prof and make sure you READ THE BOOK A LOT!!!!

Very knowledgeable about the subject. He tries to make the class sound easy by saying that the tests are only multiple choice, but you have to study for these multiple choice. You must study class notes and the book to do well in his class. The best thing about his class is that 84-100 = A. 80-83=A- and so forth, so you can get an 85 and get an A

Your grade is based off of your individual research project and one or two other assignments but the point of the semester is to perfect your writing of APA papers on research and he gives you WEEKS to do them and fix them. He is so easy going and relaxed and truly just wants people to do well

If you need an easy A take this course. If you plan on learning, take someone else. Half the lectures he went on tangents about vaccines, I'm sorry, not everyone believes in vaccines so why preach about it. We pay money for education and not opinionated rants. The work is reasonable, the content not so much.

Papers weren't graded based on the grading system, points were taken off for no reason. During class he'd just read directly off the slides and most of the time was spent on off topic discussions.

he mentioned numerous times that he hates statistics and prefers not to teach it and still harshly graded everything and took points off with no explanation. He just reads off his own slides which give little information and talks constantly about the covid vaccine. Yet another one of westconns amazing professors

My only issue with Khoo is that he doesn't spend our class time wisely. All he did was read directly off the slides, and then go on long tangents on topics unrelated to Psychology. He definitely needs more direction and organization. Perhaps the 1 hour 40 mins is too long for him.... Otherwise, he's great.

I love Professor Khoo. He is a hit/miss for most people, however you really need to show you are trying and get on his good side. He enjoys when students reach out and talk to him. He is very funny. One of the hardest classes I ever took, however if you SHOW you are trying, send e-mails schedule visits etc, he appreciates that the most. Just try.

Lots of homework

When he lectures and reads through slides and goes off on random tangents. But he gives pretty straight forwards assignments and his tests are medium difficulty as long as you pay attention. He likes to see you try and he is pretty funny/random

Dr. Khoo knows what hes talking about but unless youre a psychology major with no choices left I wouldnt take his class. He expects students to self teach from the textbook and give very little elaboration. He boasts his students average at a C. But, he cares about helping his students if they are struggling, and will try to help them succeed.
