PSYCH 464
Quality 4/5Difficulty 2/5
Professor Kirsch is one of my favorite professors on campus. Kirsch really wants her students to succeed-she always reaches out to students to see if they need help. Her lectures are boring, but they are beneficial for the exams and review quizzes, so go to them.

She is very understanding, and wants what is best for her students. Read the book before lecture, and take good quality notes, and you will get an A

PSYCH 464
Quality 4/5Difficulty 2/5
Professor Kirsch is very sweet and accommodating to students. She cares very much about her students well being, and is always reaching out to the class. However, the material was a little dry and her lectures are quite monotone and boring to sit through. If you study for the tests with her worksheets they are fairly easy.

PSYCH 464
Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
Professor Kirsch is hands down the best Professor I've had at UW Madison so far. She's so supportive and kind in her teaching style and it genuinely motivates me as a student to want to put in the work for her class. Show up to class, take good notes following her lecture outlines, ask questions and you'll do great.
