Dr.Kuther was very helpful and made sure you understood the info. Tests are kind of hard but the quizes every class and online part bring up your grade easily, as long as you read.

She a fun teacher. She made child psych real interesting even if it wasnt' your major. The tests were a little hard but as long as you review and re-read you should do alright. The online portion of class definatly helps you.

Kuther was nice, but if you plan on taking this class be prepared to never be absent, and the tests were hard although she was a fair grader.

Overall Dr. Kuther is a pretty good teacher as long as you go to class and follow directions

You guys are out of your minds, Kuther is a great teacher. She knows her stuff and she expects her students to push themsleves. I took the highest level psy class with her and she can be hard and I got an A. She has had some problems of her own but doesn't everyone. She has lacked during some semesters but overall she is a great teacher.

Not the easiest class I've taken, but got a "B" (my only one...ruined my 4.0) :-P Oh well, probably could have gotten an "A" had I worked harder. Participation and hard work is the key and she certainly is very absorbed in what she does, so very interested in psychology. Tests were rather hard though considering the amount I did study...I wouldn't recommend the class personally; however she isn't as bad as some make her out to be (certainly a genuinely nice person).

Teaches at a true college level which is a turn off for many. However if you are serious about learning psychology and not just breezing through her class half asleep she is a brillant professor who teaches the class in an in depth way, not just covering the basics and moving on. She has my highest recommendation.

available, good class

Well her class definitely wasn't easy and I really think she was biased towards girls. Overall though, she's good, but I was glad when it was over.

Dr. Kuther knows her stuff pretty well. Out of all the seminars, she is the only one to analyze articles instead of doing an experiment, which was a plus for me. You HAVE to take this class by itself, not because it's incredibly hard, but because the workload is overwhelming. Good Luck.

This professor knows her stuff and if you need any help she's always willing. My best advice is to always READ!!

Tara was an awesome teacher. I always sat at the front of class. There were almost always class discussions/ story sharing by both Dr. Kuther and students. If you remember what it was like to be an adolescent and you like relatively simple work, you'll love this class. If you come and participate, there's no way you won't pass.

Dr.Kuther is great! There are times when she may be unclear. She is very willing & helpful when you ask questions. She keeps the atmosphere light and sometimes breaks into groups to analyze readings. The papers are short but the articles can be difficult to understand. If you need help, make sure you have a specific question. My fav. prof. yet!!!!!

Not nearly as bad as some of the reviews on here. She's very intelligent and lets you know what you'll be tested on. As long as you study and go to class you'll do fine.

She was a great teacher, i actually learned alot in her class.She kept things interesting and she presented the matieral clearly. Her test were somewhat hard but other then that she was a good teacher.

Really fun topics that you learn about.

Great professor. Very active academically in the psychology field and presents the material seamlessly. Another professor that gets a bad rep because people come into class and expect A's yet never show up or listen. Have to put effort forward to get a good grade, but if you do you do learn from a very knowledgeable professor.

If you really do the work well, then you will have a strong understanding of the material. Analysis papers are very helpful and articles are intersting. Very helpful teacher-will explain things as many times as necessary. favorite teacher of mine

My favorite teacher! Put in the effort & you will get alot out of class. Puts as much effort into student as student puts into class. Very knowledgeable about development. Very interesting lectures, be prepared to take alot of notes. Online quiz weekly on textbook reading. Tests based on applying concepts, not just defining terms. Very dedicated.

Dr. Kuther happens to be a very well rounded teacher who is extremely easy to follow. I have to say, in my many years of attending college?Dr. Kuther happens to be the best professor I ever had. I highly recommend taking any of her classes. She is a world of knowledge. You will walk away a smarter person!

Dr. Kuther is an amazing teacher. She has a sense of humor and is laid back with makes class fun and enjoyable, but she also teaches you a lot. I also love that she's a working professional in the field and has written a ton of books. She's fair and relevant, if you love psych, take her class.

She is awesome ! Take her class =] She makes lectures interesting. I have not missed a day & is the only class I enjoy going to this semester. Take notes,participate in discussions and you'll do fine. Weekly quizzes based on objectives, tests are straightforward. Very helpful and knowledgeable prof.

we didnt really use the second book. She gave a list of objectives of what's important so I dont know what people are talking about. read show up and take notes and youll be fine

fun topic. Classes were interesting but tests were hard. The project was hard but she made time to talk to her in her office

She is a great teacher! Yes the test may be difficult but she gives weekly quizzes & the question is an objective she gives you, so that helps your grade & the lit review you cannot do wrong on it just follow the outline she gives you and you'll do great. She also makes herself available during her office hours so go see her if your haing problems

I took her for two classes at the same time, you do use the book a lot. Lots of reading, but as long as your willing to study and show up to lectures you'll learn a lot from her. Don't expect to get a good grade if you don't put any effort.

I had her for Adult Years, and it was one of the hardest, but best, classes I've ever had. Her tests were ridiculously difficult, and you will need to study, but she is very willing to help outside of class, and she's extremely trustworthy. Any sort of problems you have with life, class, etc, she'll help with

one of the top classes ive taken at wcsu where i learned ALOT. not easy, but do ur work and u will do just fine! this is how a college course should be taught!

Although attendance isn't mandatory, I suggest you go. She goes over a lot and in detail. There are weekly quizzes. If you go to class and put in effort into learning the material both inside and outside of class, you'll be alright. Hard class though.

Tests are hard, lots of quizzes but only counts your top ones. She helps you if you ask. If you dont want to work you wont like the class

Very upbeat and informative, but won't hesitate to kick you out if you're texting or being disruptive. Weekly quizzes, a handful of exams, and an optional final. Do the work and the reading and you'll be fine, she wants you to pass and gives oppurtunities to redeem yourself through effort and work, especially useful if you bomb an exam.

She holds grudges, so if this class is required for you, here is a list of commandments: Don't arrive late or leave early. Don't plagiarize in any way. Don't text in class. She will kill you. Don't ask stupid questions...don't ask me what they are. Who knows. If she says she'll give extra credit for putting your name on your test, she is lying and will deny it later. Fill out all the study guides and you will rock the exams. P.S. this is not an application class...it is only a facts class.

This is a tough class and if you are not interested in psychology I do not recommend taking it with her. That being said, she taught me more about psych than any other professor I've had. She was interesting and willing to help as long as you sought help during her office hours and not right before class starts.

Read the book and you'll be fine! I've taken her for multiple classes and received an A!

Great professor. makes you work hard for your grade, but is very nice and helpful.

Overall, she is a fair teacher. Her tests are difficult, but she drops the lowest, and there are so many ways to control your grade (online quizzes, in-class assignments, homework assignments). She drops the four lowest of in-class and homework, and 2 lowest quizzes too. Take notes in class, at least skim the chapters, do the work, and you pass.

Great professor. Knows what she is doing and talking about. Class is more of a discussion rather than a lecture. She gives many readings and then you have to submit a writing paper during every class. Truly would take her again.

Dr. Kuther is a great professor. Her class is very interesting, she keeps it conversational so she isn't lecturing the whole class period. You have to read the chapters, it's a college class and she is not going to spoon feed you answers. She will give pop quizzes, which accounts for participation. Tests aren't bad. Definitely recommend her class

Dr. Kuther knows her material really well. You need to do the reading and the assignments or your grade will slip. Great sense of humor and runs an interesting class.

You have to read and work for your grade. Do the papers and study for the test and you will be okay.

Read, go to class, go on blackboard. even with so so tests I did good with extra credit and blackboard

ran out of time and dropped readings but we voted on what to drop. Nice enough and knows her stuff

Not my fav subject but shes ok

412 was the hardest class I ever took but I learned so much. The paper was huge but we did multiple drafts and she made comments that helped. Readings were all journal articles and harder than anything in 325. Dr Kuther is passionate about developmental & 412 is a real capstone class that makes you realize what you've learned at wcsu

She was hard in the beginning but allows you to redeem yourself and work for a better grade.

Kuther was great, she isn't going to just give you an A but its pretty easy to get it. Just do the homework (not much of it) and take the tests which really aren't that hard. Overall easy class.

Dr. Kuther is an awesome professor. I loved taking child psych with her. She is so funny and makes lectures interesting. There are a lot of writing assignments but they're easy and you can write as much or as little as you want (due online). She may come off a little intimidating but once you get to know her you'll find she is the sweetest!

I learned so much in this class.

Dr. Kuther is an amazing professor. Her class was very interesting and packing with knowledge. There is an in-class test for almost every chapter but if you read the material in the textbook and write good notes you should be fine.

Professor Kuther made the all-online format of this class as positive of an experience as possible given the circumstances. I did not feel like I learned less than if the class was on campus, yet the work was not confusing/too much (as some online classes can be).

Dr. Kuther knows her stuff and is a kind person. I feel that I learned a lot from her and from the class. The capstone class was much harder (and more work) than I expected. She makes you work for it but is willing to answer quality questions. She responded to emails quickly. Deff hard but made it thru and you can too! I recommend!

Journal articles every week. Two 5pg papers based on readings. A 6pg research paper. Submitted again revised No tests. Usually interesting.

She's not bad. No tests just papers answering questions about class. I. Think I learned alot

Shes cool

More writing than I expected. Good info

Overall good professor, lectures matched exams but didn't at the same time. Exams kind of difficult unless examine the questions. Good professor though she's great.

As long as you're on top of your stuff, it's smooth sailing. Lots of work on Perusall but it's relatively simple. There's a few pop quizzes but as long as you attend class you're good. There's a literature review paper that you do over the course of the semester, but follow her feedback and it should net you a decent grade!

Discuss an article in each class. Everyone has to lead a discussion. She covers the results. 2 tests. Read and talk and it's easy

Dr. Kuther is a great professor and the class is extremely easy if you just read the articles and participate. Its a discussion based class that goes through 2 research articles a week. You have one assignment where you lead a discussion (It was not hard and she was very lenient with grading). There are 2 open note tests and that's about it.

Lots of work on Perusall, but it's manageable. With class attendance and feedback on the literature review, you can nail this course. unstuck study is a great study tool alongside the materials.

Kuther is one of the best professors here at WCSU. She is incredibly passionate about her work and treats all of her students with the utmost respect. She cares a lot about each and everyone of her students and will do her best to help them succeed. Participate in her course and study the material. I cannot say enough good things about Kuther!
