Reviews of professor Kendra Doychak

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Challenging class. Be ready to think... and work. She's super understanding though. Went through a tough time during my semester and she was supportive every step of the way.

I took her class where she was joint teaching with another PhD student (PSY 700). The online class was very participation heavy, and it was necessary to actually participate in the online discussions on time. There were two long-ish (10-12) papers required, but it's grad school so that is to be expected. Midterm and (non cumulative) final are easy

Do not take her for your first semester in the FP or FMHC program. Overwhelmingly long papers to be read every week.

2 discusson board questions and 4 responses a week, 10-12 page case analysis paper due at the end of the semester, midterm, and final exam. The readings were long but interesting. She graded things pretty fast. No issues with this class. Just do the work and put the effort in and you'll get a good grade.

5 easy journal assignments, simple case conceptualization, and a role play analysis which will feel comfortable by the time it is due. Throughout the semester you work on using different skills learned, so you are prepared for the last assignment. Loved her course and looked forward to attending it each week.

Two to three 10-40 page articles with coinciding detail-oriented discussion posts due each week. Tough grader who doesn't round. Wouldn't recommend taking for your first semester.
