Incredible

Go for her class. She'll raise your GPA.

Susan Kamphaus was an incredibly good teacher and i would recommend her to anyone

Totally Hot! Never bored with her to look at in class. She has great eyes and is very attentive to her students. Too bad she is all business! Great Professor!

Great Teacher!

Very good teacher. Kept the class interested. Just watch out for the semester project.

She is an awesome teacher! You learn alot in a fun way. She is very down to earth and helpfull. I wish she taught every class i need to take. And if you love food you will enjoy her class even more!

I disagree I worked very hard on my assignments, she grades very harshly. I (along w/ others)think she singled me out from day 1. I missed class to testify in a homicide trial & wasn't allowed to make up assignments. She is a fun person but arrogant and egocentric. I won't take her again

She's a great teacher but don't take this class if you don't intend to work. If you read and pay attention you should be fine, the key is doing all the small assignments. There is a huge group presentation at the end, like her intro to psych class... this does require way more work than many classes

She was a pretty good teacher. She did kind of seem partial to some of the students, while just being so-so with some of the others. Good stories,great food, hard tests, especially in Dev. psych. all essays! I took her for both classes, I'd recommend her.

She's very hard--if you want an easy A, find someone else--but you will learn a LOT in her class. She's a very good instructor, and applies a lot of the lessons to everyday problems or situations. I seriously considered changing my major to psych because of her classes. I thought she was great.

good teacher fun interesting classes work was hard though but definitely made you use your brain. Made psychology interesting! i'd recommend her but careful with the end of semester projects Be Prepared!

I would like to first say the S.K. was/is one of my favorite teachers. She was smart, witty and taught the material beyond the course description. She is a college professor who challenges her students! Those who are leaving rude remarks are entitled but remember you chose to be challenged by going to college.(I bet that candy is not there anymore)

Ms Kamphaus is a wonderful teacher. She is very hard though. If you just want a blow off class this is NOT it. She challenges your mind. You MUST know your stuff in this class. Know your MLA also. She has so much to offer if you will listen.

She is a cutie!! Her tests are really hard but she seems to want us to do well. She loves Starbucks!

Wow! Could kick myself for not being better prepared....she tried to warn us. Loved coming to class, loved the autonomy, loved the look, hated the quizzes. I've let people know about her and to take her in the Spring. I'll miss looking at her.

This is for all you crybabies out there that thought you were going to come in take a sociology or psychology course and just breaze through because it is required. Well buck up its tuff. Susan Kamphaus is a wonderful prof. and person. She teaches the material clearly and from her heart. It is totally unfair to blame her for your laziness.

I think the only reason why people wouldn't be happy with Kamphaus is only because they weren't prepared for class or didn't seek help. Maybe its just because she isn't a pushover. Or maybe yet it is because you can't take this class w/o inputing hard work. She is a great teacher despite the difficult tests. It all depends on how prepared U R!

Thank you for the challenge. I'm going to enroll in another course of hers.

she is so funny and cool to talk to. It is a hard class you have to study but we arent in elementary school we are all in college so get ready she is awesome i have learned so much about the mind and body now.

Susan is Awesome. Kamphaus allows people to come to her in their time of peril. At least if they think that's what's going on. Yes, she does expect a lot but its so worth it. I hear students everyday say that its hard but they would never drop because they learn so much from her. She gives personal experience and has a funny sense of humor.

she is such a great teacher!!! She believes in giving her very best and expects the same in return. You are here to learn and that is just what you do. Listen to her! She knows what she is talking about!!!!

I recommend this class to all of my friends. She is very organized so you know exactly what to expect. Most of the quizzes are open book which is really helpful. The project at the end is huge but you get over a week of class time to work on it. My group did great! I'm taking her again.

Kamphaus is awesome! She's a wonderful teacher and can become a true friend. All her classes are great!!! She's tough, but the classes are so much fun...end of semester parties baby!!!

I took her on line psy class and was happy with it and her. In my past experience on line classes are more demanding and deadly if you behind in one. Hers was very organized...you knew when assignments were due. You can not work ahead but you know the exact date everything is due so that is okay. I wish she'd teach different sections on line.

Awesome teacher and an awesome person. She makes learning fun but she is no easy A. Come prepared to work! Quizzes are straight from the book and tests are somewhat difficult. The writing assignments are pretty easy just make sure you know MLA! End of the semester project is a fun time! Lot of points available in the class.

Very Awesome teacher!

She is so helpful to me. I had a rough start with enrollment but Kamphaus made me feel quite comfortable and encouraged. She sets up a very structured class so I know exactly what is going on each day throughout the semester. I talked my boyfriend into taking her class. She is awesome!

Great Instructor!! She knows her stuff. Hard class,but she is very clear on what she expects. If you want the challenge and to actually learn something take her class. If you are looking for ways not work for your grade this class is not for you. Know your MLA format. Her class was always interesting.

Kamphaus is by far the best professor I have had at TCC. She teaches what you need to know, and provides real-world applications. It is not a blow-off gen ed, so if that's your goal, avoid it. If you actually want to learn and be challenged, come prepared to listen to a funny yet sincere woman. I've taken 2 of her classes, and they are awesome.

Susan seems to think she is a Comp teacher when in fact her class is psychology. You better know your MLA..GET the STUDY GUIDE that goes with the book if you want an A!! Know your MLA like the back of your hand!! Spends almost no time in lecture..so get prepared for double reading chapters.

Ms Kamphaus is a great instructor! She is upfront and to the point, which is great, you always know what to expect and what is expected of you. If you are not mature and can not handle the COLLEGE CLASS then don't stay in it. You will have to study hard, but it is worth it. You will learn alot.

Be prepared to read a lot! Homework is easy! Make sure and buy the study guide many questions are in there! Tests are HARD! I found it harder because they were VERY shortly timed. You have 25 minutes to answer as many questions. If you go over the time you get a 0! Make sure and read chapters throughly and the study guide will help.BUY STUDY GUIDE!

This is a great on-line class if you are looking for structure. There is specific times work is available and certain times it is due...if you miss it you miss it! Great for me as I have a tendency to put things off. Professor ALWAYS answered my email, often the same day. She was good to return my calls. I'll take another from her!

I HATED S.K. for intro to psyc..timed quizes, strict MLA papers, tons of group work..it was a nightmare..LOVED her for dev. psyc!! Tests are hard..all essay...but she goes over the most of the material in class..you have to read your book..not an easy A..but do-able. (made A in intro and dev. psyc)

I just finished the 2nd 8 wk online class and it was good. It is VERY stuctured with exact due dates and times which can be a pain but it kept me on track Which I need. There were 4 As in my class I made a B. She gives great feedback and always answers her email. The homework is a bear but you get enough time to do it and it helps the grade.

My intro class was small which I worried about at first. Hey, she rocks and is funny. Yeah, you have to follow directions, read the book and the quizzes are timed. But almost all of them are open book which is good. She is fair. I made a C but could have made a B if I would have pulled my head out. My sister's taking her in the fall.

I just finished her dev class and I loved her enthusiasm. I had her for intro and she was pretty strict with assignmts and due dates but all in all fair. She's completely different in dev psyc Alot more laid back and still funny. Her stories helped me relate the material and there is alot of reading. Exams are hard but other class hmwk helps.

i took the online class and really liked it. she answered my emails almost immediately. she was really encouraging when i needed it. stuff is due at an exact time but if you follow the schedule it is a breeze. i'd definitely take her again!

She has a wonderful personality, very bubbly. Night classes are not just educational they are FUN. However you are required to start and finish a paper on the test days. SHE IS GREAT!

Kamphaus created a fun and inviting atmosphere. The subject matter was rather dull, but she made it personal for each and every one of us. Throughout the semester, she got just as frustrated with us as we did with her. But overall, she did a fantastic job of making such a boring class interesting and effective!!

i actually like the structure of the class. the deadlines are set in stone! but i had a schedule and knew when stuff was due. it is an 8-wk class which goes by fast!!!! I'd take another online class with her. i am--developmental psy

Wow! I don't get where are the negative comments are coming from? Unless it is from some of my classmates who were looking for an A with doing NOTHING in class!! I went to see her twice in her office and talked to her numerous times on the phone. She helped me through a crisis with the giant project at the end. I found her very helpful.

Took her Intro to Psych and Developmental Psych courses at West Campus. She was friendly and thorough. She was strict with her deadlines but I didn't find her to be a difficult grader. Made an A in Intro and C in Developmental, but the C was my fault because I was working the night shift and going directly to her 8 AM class with no sleep.

I took her 4 wk summer class in July too. She did answer her email within 24 hours and sometimes i sent her 3 emails in a day and she answered all of them. I had a baby in the middle of the 4 week class and she worked with me through the short stay in the hospital. There was a lot of work though!! But it wasn't hard just time consuming. Liked her

I took Professor Kamphaus 4wk fast track online. Excessive amounts of homework, quizzes, etc....then the end of the semester project is proving to be quite hard. However; she was very helpful in allowing me do over's due to life circumstances. She always answered my emails within a 24 hr period and always had such kind and motivating words!!!

I enrolled for the last 8wk session in the spg because i had to drop a class. There is a hmwk assignment for each of the chaps but we didn't cover all the chapters in the book. The quizzes are open book but they are timed. I never ran out of time. There is a project at the end but you have a week to work on it w/o any other work. I liked the class

I took her 8 week class online and loved it. I knew what I needed to do and followed the schedule. I'm confused about all the "too much" work comments and I want to know what classes these folks have been taking. All the classes I've enrolled in required alot of work from me!! How else does one learn? You won't be disappointed.

I took her 8wk online class.I liked this class. She goes by the syllabus which I like so you know what to expect. Be honest and ask questions and you will do fine. Be prepared to do your work this class does not hand you an "A". She ALWAYS returns my emails within 24 hours. Make sure you keep up with the dates and times that assignments are due.

I love her! This class is very hard, but it would be no matter the teacher. She makes things relate-able and is always ready to email back and see you in her office if you have any questions. She does everything she can to make sure you do well.

For all of you who said that there was too much homework...time to grow up, you're in college now. For those who said that she's inaccessible...are you on another planet? For those who plan to further their ed. after TCC...it's a great prep class! You will see much more work and much less caring Profs at the University level.

I loved the class. It is scheduled--she follows it. There were a couple of errors with deadlines but she sent out a notice to everyone and corrected it. There is a worksheet and a quiz for each chapter. I feel very prepared to take dev. pay. I made a B in her class.

Fun teacher, made class easy. A lot of reading from the book and quizzes every week, but ultimately learned very much. Highly recommend.

8 wk course. Plan on studying about 20-30 hours a week from reading, h/w, and tests. She mentioned teaching 7 other classes and was slow to post grades except for the tests which are completely confusing. I worked hard enough in this class for an A but I got a B!!! Unless you test very well, I do not recommend. Sadly disappointed.

I took the Strategies Class, and she was very fun, and made the class interesting. Can you be lazy and make an A, no! But she is trying to get people ready to further their education which I appreciated. If you try and make an honest effort you will do fine!

I took the strategies class. Good professor did make the material a little more interesting, because original material was boring. Although like others said it is not an easy "A". Overall a good professor

I loved this class! You must be on time and be prepared each day. She gives a lot of homework but doesn't seem to take much time. She DOES reply to emails and calls. The syllabus is strict and punctual. She was funny and very caring. There are three tests (one is the final and is take home essay). One group project which is time consuming but fun.

I LOVED MS. KAMPHAUS! Her class is structured like a college class; come prepared and on time. The class consists of three tests (one being a take home final), homework and a group project. Her online class is harder; she even says so in her lecture classroom. I would take her again for any class!

Good luck getting her to respond in a timely manner. But otherwise, easy class. You don't need the book; all of her quizzes and assignments are drawn straight from the teacher's edition or wherever, so you can find all the answers on Quizlet. The only annoying thing is she doesn't let you take the quizzes early.

Gives quite a bit of homework but all of it pertains to what will be on tests. I enjoyed her in class and she always kept it interesting. I would definitely take one of her courses again because she is very flexible, yet makes you work hard for your grade.

Great professor. Makes you work for the grade you want. Super funny. Try and participate in all lectures. (Engaging with her helps you learn better). We had a LearnSmart activity and Online Assignment for every chapter. Test is every 4 chapters. Follow your syllabus. Print everything.

Professor Kamphaus is an amazing teacher. She truly cares about her students and does everything she can to help you succeed. That being said, you have to work for your grade. She lets you know what she wants and expects you to perform. Interactive lectures help you learn the material without even realizing it. Take her, if you can!

Professor Kamphaus is phenomenal at making sure you understand every little detail before moving on. Her tests are long and very particular, but as long as you study as you go you'll be just fine. Honestly, do the homework assigned and you will pass!

I really enjoyed Prof. Kamphaus's Intro to Psych class. She has three tests, a little homework just for reinforcement and busy work, a group project that isn't terrible- I hate group work. I showed up to class, put minimal work into it and received an A. Great professor!

I took this class as a 16wk online course and it wasn't bad. You have to read the entire textbook and the exams are kinda hard but the class itself really wasn't that hard. She takes a long time to grade but as long as you actually do the work, you'll get full credit. There are 3 papers and a final you get a week each to work on.

Not only is professor Kamphaus a great person, but she is a great professor. I took her Intro to Psych class fall 2016 (on campus) and now Human Dev. spring 2017 ( online). She expects you to learn the material and be able to express what you've learned. I am not a psych major, but I have enjoyed her classes. I would recommend her again and again.

once of the my favorite class thus far, and my favorite professor. She is tough but it is such a fun class. Do your homework, show up to class, and study for exams. you will do great!

I found the work to be hard and the tests challenging but she made me enjoy the material.

I really enjoyed Professor Kamphauss class! At first I wasnt sure how to feel about her, but she grew on me. She even brought cute reindeer donuts with a cute baby donut as a nose for the last day of class! She really cares and she wants you to succeed!

Each unit (about every week and a half) you have a homework assignment of about 25-50 questions. Also a quiz of 25 questions each unit. she doesnt respond quick to email though. Lots of reading if you want to pass the quiz although I didnt read much and found the questions easily and did good on quizzes.

I took PSYC 2023 online and you HAVE to read and participate. The class is not hard, it was actually very informative. However, if you get behind you won't catch up. There are several homework assignments and open book quizzes. You will also have several discussion boards. Overall I learned a lot of great information!

Her online Intro to Psych class was easy as long as you did your part. The LC assignments were a cakewalk, the tests followed very closely. She responded to me quickly the one time I had to contact her. Be very thorough on your written homework assignments: they count for a lot!

A decent online class. You actually need to know something, but you can get an A without reading the book. She has quizzes weekly, question sets, learning curve assignments and discussion boards, and also research observation assignments.

Professor Kamphaus is one of my favorite professors I've had at TCC. I had her PSYC1113 class for the fall semester of 2022, I'm a concurrent enrollment student so I was also taking many other high school courses along with my college classes. This course is reading-heavy, but as long as you read and do the work, you will pass with at least a B.

Professor Kamphaus was an absolute amazing professor to have. She really cared about each and everyone of her students and prepared us well for exams and our major project at the end of the semester. I would definitely recommend her!

I got so much out of this course, I loved her lectures more than anything because she was very engaging and always had a story to tell to help you visualize the concepts, I highly recommend taking this professor because she is kind, entertaining, and very helpful.
