Reviews of professor J. Klemfuss

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She gives really entertaining/ engaging lectures and is accommodating of students' needs. Weekly homework, participation, exams, and extra credit make up the grade. You definitely have to study for the exams since they cover a lot of material but it's doable.

Dr. Klemfuss' passion for developmental psych is reflected in her enthusiasm and expertise during lecture. The textbook was pricey, but worth the read. The online practice quizzes closely resemble the in-class exams. The class is structured clearly: 4 exams (lowest dropped), weekly HW / practices quizzes via online textbook, & PollEv participation.

I stopped paying attention in class and simply used the time to read the textbook. Confusing exams, boring lectures, awkward teaching style. Do not rely on TAs or study guides. Requires MacMillan subscription (100$) for textbook and homework. Do not take if you want a good professor and experience, but you can get a good grade if you need to.

I think some of my peers may not have been prepared to switch over to in-person scantron exams as we exited the pandemic. The class is certainly difficult but Dr. Klemfuss is an extremely supportive and caring professor. I would take another course with her in the future, understanding that I may have to put in some extra effort that quarter.

Overall, pretty straightforward class. There are 4 exams, and 1 is dropped. The textbook assignments+ the study guides are quite helpful when studying for the exams. There are also multiple extra credit opportunities.

Interesting class, but the course itself needs a lot of restructuring. Our grade was based on exams (81%), participation, and some textbook assignments. The textbook she required was quite pricy and did not feel worth it to me. I studied HARD for all the exams, read the book, and attended every single lecture and did not get an A on a single exam.
