Reviews of professor Michael Kersten

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Kersten was a very easy-going professor. He didn't have a lot of assignments for use to do, so that made it easy for me to work in my other classes. He still had a couple of big tests, but he also gave an optional final, if you want to improve a grade. The final assignment wasn't too difficult, but it still required a reflection on the concepts.

Dr. Kersten is laid back and funny, and this class is EASY. The 3 assignments are short, and he is a forgiving grader. There are 3 multiple choice tests and an optional final to replace your lowest test grade. Everything you need to know is on the slides, and he basically gives out answers at the review session. I got 100% on 2 of the tests.

Professor Kersten always provided lecture videos, and everything on the test was in the videos. There are around 10 papers, but its really just answering questions, not really writing a paper. The final is optional, you can take it to drop another exam. Overall, Kersten is a really solid teacher.

I took his Psych 101 at MJC. He is nice and not a harsh grader but his teaching style is super boring, he just lectures on slides for 2 hours each class. It's up to you to find a way to remember the content. There's only 6 assignments and 3 tests. There's so few assignments, if you do bad on anything it can flunk your grade. Okay, wouldn't retake.
