Quality 5/5Difficulty 4/5
Although there is no textbook, there are lots of articles to read for class. Lectures are very organized and well presented. She keeps you interested and has a sense of humor. Attendance is graded, which allows for easy points towards your grade. Exams are difficult but fair. The paper assignments are very straight forward and simple.

Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
Kristin is one of my favorite professors! Her lectures are always clearly organized and she presents the information from a more holistic approach compared to other psychology professors I've had. Her lectures are based on research studies and exam questions were based on those results/findings. I would definitely take another class with her!

She was super nice and really knew what she was talking about. No textbook, just need to read some primary source articles (which is what psychology is primarily anyway). Attendance is taken, but she is good about giving you points if you're sick or make up for it.
