The class is challenging, but meanwhile, very rewarding if you do all the required readings. The lecture is mainly discussion-based and extra credit is given. Also, TAs did very good job in summarizing materials. Overall, recommend the class! Also, sell the required course reader for $50, but the price is negotiable. Email me at ************* if you are interested.

I enrolled into Psychology 85 in the Spring of 2011 and was a little intimidated by Kellman at first. The man is truly a very intellectual being. For every class, there are readings assigned. The readings are a lot of pages and quite complex to understand, but Kellman and Everett (TA) have done an excellent job in summarizing it during class and getting to the key points.

At times you will feel lost, and you may think you are destined to fail in this class as I have. However after reaching Kellman about my concerns, he personally told me that his intentional goals was not to harm your transcript... so I continued to do my best, show up to office hours, spend diligent time reading the material, and participate. On a scale of 1-10, the difficulty of his exams are a 7-8. Thankfully, he allows you to gain points back on the midterm and the curve is set extremely high. Tests usually consisted of multiple choice and essay format. Oh yes, there are reaction papers due for every class: a one page single-spaced summary of the readings. If you do them, you get credit. Simple as that. I strongly encourage those who take his class to do them because they really boost your grade and help you understand the material.

Overall, this class made me worry and sweat, but the material was very interesting. I got an A in the class, but I worked hard for it. I would not have thought about taking this class with any other professor. From what I've heard amongst my peers, many people got As. Apparently the curve was set EXTREMELY high. wink wink.

I am selling the course reader that is required for this course at 65$, which is much cheaper than the reader store (95$). The textbook is also for sale. Please e-mail me if you are interested at *************
