Reviews of professor Kostadin Kushlev

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
research methods is tough in general but prof kushlev gave fair tests and had clear lectures. the semester long research project is done with the TAs so use them for help. lots of points possible so not too hard to do well, usually lowest test score gets dropped

Amazing class -- I learned so much about social psychology that I think will be very applicable in my life. This is a class that psych students and non-psych students should take. Highly recommend!

Despite some tough questions on exams, Prof. Kushlev really does care and want students to do well. His class has grade boosters so that even though his exams can be challenging you still end up with a fair grade. You will have to study for his class but not a crazy amount. He also gives up to 3 full points of extra credit added to final grade!

Prof Kushlev is a nice person but the class is honestly poorly organized. 5 quizzes (we had 4 because the last two were combined) are worth 75% of your grade, and they are all multiple choice. Few questions on each quiz (20-30) and questions worded kind of confusingly. However, there were "bonus points", and over half the class ended up with an A.

By far my favorite class at Georgetown! Prof. Kushlev is a great professor and cares a lot about helping his students succeed. Lectures are engaging and informative, and the class is designed to be easy as long as you do the work that is assigned. The structure + grading system of the class is also very clear and organized. Would highly recommend!

Prof Kushlev is very caring and accessible, but his lectures are a bit repetitive. Social psych has interesting topics, but material can feel like a repeat of gen psych. Grade is 3 midterms + final (cumulative), group project, and completion work (reading quizzes, perusall). Tests are fair, but can have the occasional curveball from textbook.

So incredibly boring. I knew that I had to drop. Within the first two classes, people already did not take the course seriously (students brought their laptops despite the no technology rule and checked emails/studied for other classes the whole time). Everything he discusses was taught in my high school psych but was dumbed down.

While Prof. Kushlev is a nice person, his social psychology class lacks nuance and often tact when talking about issues that affect oppressed groups. I would recommend Prof. Moghaddam's Group and Intergroup psychology instead, as it is much more complex. This class is quiz and exam heavy though, so you can do well, but it's not life-changing.
