Weekly quizes and tests are the only requirement for this class. Lecture and slide heavy but does a great job presenting the material.

Keiflin's topic can be hard to keep up with, so make sure you are very interested in behavioral psychology research and the history. He really wants his students to engage with him and his lectures, so ask many questions! Very straightforward questions on tests, just take good notes, check with him when concepts don't make sense.

Class was super interesting and I enjoyed the material but the lectures were super boring partly because it was a WF 9:30AM class. The midterm rocked a lot of people but the final was super reasonable. Wouldn't say it's an easy A but if you keep up with the material, you'll do just fine. 40% midterm 40% final 20% quizzes based on lecture material

Professor Keiflin was so awesome, I had to come and write a review. He genuinely cares about his students and how they understand the material. The lecture may be boring and very conceptual, where it is hard to understand, but if you consistently attend lectures and genuine try to understand the content, you will be just fine.

best prof ever!! He teaches in a way that makes things understandable and as long as you understand the lectures you are set for the tests/quizzes. He has the book provided which isn't necessary for exams but reinforces learning.

Okay, the lectures were SO boring. Can't blame him tho; The material just wasn't for me. I don't know how you can make conditioning into a ten-week class. Got repetitive. Regardless, he's a good professor and his exams are pretty straightforward. Weekly quizzes 20%, midterm 37.5%, final 37.5%, participation (forum posts) 5%. Definitely easy.

Keiflin is undoubtedly THE BEST professor ever! His exams are not tricky or ambiguous which I really appreciate, so if you study you will do great. He provides online videos to watch before the lecture which are so helpful to solidify the material. His lectures are great and engaging with many great examples to explain the material.

Nice and clear professor. Material is not as boring as I thought it would be. As with any psych class, you obviously need to study to do well on the tests. Don't need to read the book AT ALL, He only tests on what is covered in lecture so just study that. No time limit open-note quizzes open for a week online with unlimited attempts (ez points).

The man is fine. His smooth french drawl never failed to lull me to sleep. What's ironic is that i took motivation (psy122) but for the life of me i could not find the motivation to stay awake. I swear i'm not even a simp. His voice is just deliciously sleep-inducing. Deepest sleep i had in years. Will be missed

really nice guy, explained the article really well. class consisted of a paper summary of an article, quizzes on weekly articles, and a group presentation. easy class, also clarified some stuff that was useful for other upper div psych classes

The material can be a bit confusing but the lectures are fairly clear and if you go over them a couple of times you should be good. Grade is based on a midterm, final, and weekly quizzes. Some of the quiz questions show back up on the exams. Very chill class!

Grade was based on one midterm (40%), one final (40%), and weekly quizzes (40%). The concepts for this course are complex but I found the exams and quizzes to be straight out the lecture which is nice. I would recommend taking him instead of other professors but def study the material and you should get an A. Quiz question repeated for exams! Easy!
