Don't take this class with him. He doesn't know how to teach and help students. The TA was just as useless!

There are no resources to help prepare for exams except for watching back the lectures and reading the textbook. No previous exams/examples given, not curved, very tough. Class hadn't been taught in 5 years- you could tell. Don't take.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/2257761","quality_rating":2.0,"difficulty_rating":5.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:27:32.780296+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTMyMzk1NjUz","source_instructor_id":"rmp:2257761","instructor_name":"Karen Schloss","course_label":"PSYCH406","course_id":"PSYCH 406","course_uid":"course_5c158f91c031d14bdbb23847","review_date":"2019-11-12 02:07:26 +0000 UTC","comment":"I like Karen, but sometimes she gets on a roll and speaks way too fast for anyone to actually keep up. She acknowledged this at the beginning of the semester but does not seem to be consciously aware of when she is doing it.
