Reviews of professor J. Klemfuss

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
This class ruined my gpa. I have never gotten such a bad grade in any class like ever. I reached out for help multiple times expressing that I was not happy with my grade but am doing everything I am supposed to but was mislead on what to expect for the exams which were weighted very heavy. Study guides and even exam reviews were absolutely useless

In the beginning I enjoyed her lectures as they were interesting. I tried my best to keep up with the readings and the assignment that were connected to the book. The tests and the study guide were not that similar which did not help. Although lectures were interesting and so was the material the exams were nothing like the study guide.

Very test heavy, 81% of grade, 2 midterms, 1 final, all MCQ. For lectures, she just reads off the slides. She gives a study guide for each exam, but half of the test questions don't even reflect it. Some test questions and answer choices can be weirdly worded. Definitely do not recommend, even if you have don't have a choice. Save your gpa.

All she did was read off the slides, and the slide aren't even on the exams. The exams test us on specific random details from the textbook and stuff we never learn. You need to memorize every single detail in the book to do well. The professor and TAs were just tricking us with the useless study guide and misleading information in review sessions.

Professor Klemfuss is accessible outside of the class and helpful during office hours; however, I found the course unnecessarily difficult due to miscommunications between the TAs and the professor, which led to confusion regarding exam content. Her exams are textbook heavy, including vocab briefly mentioned, and her lectures weren't very helpful.

Not sure why theres so many terrible reviews, Dr. Klemfuss is a great professor and she's very kind. Exams were based on both lectures and textbook chapters (which were kind of long) but they weren't much more difficult than other psci exams and she always added a few extra points to test scores. Online homework was easy & the class was interesting

I don't know why she has such bad reviews; I thought she was good. PollEv participation is required, but her lectures are engaging and straightforward. The textbook is pricey, but the assignments with it are helpful. There is extra credit, no essay, and 1 out of 4 exams is dropped. The exams are multiple-choice, mainly on lecture, and not too hard.

I expected an easy, fun class based on the previous reviews, but it was so stressful. The study guide was long and vague! It did not even help with the exams because a lot of questions were randomly picked from the textbook. I wish she has given us a straightforward study guide, so I can be prepared for what is going to be on the exam.
