Comment:
Dr. Killen has been by far my favorite psych prof at Drexel. She's very kind, thorough, and no BS. If you need help just ask, she's all about giving her students the time they need to complete assignments. She has an interesting testing model but it works in your favor as long as you try. Read the material she provides cause they do appear on tests

Actually took her for PSY125-Child Psychopathology She had health issues and allowed us to take the first exam at home and then we convinced her to let us do at home exams for the last two. If we had had the tests in class, I would have done horrid. There wouldn't have been enough time. Ask for take home, can't hurt. Other assignemtns aren't hard

attendance isn't mandatory but she doesn't post a powerpoint/notes so go to lecture. gives u extra work if class is cancelled (three times more than we would ever do in class). u take the test three times (individual/group/class) and it's always open note but she'll give like a 20 page essay to read for the test. she does curve grades at the end.

Great Professor she is available if you need her help with anything. Her lectures and stories are pretty funny. There is a lot of write but the topics are interest and cool one of them for example was to write two case studies on someone famous in media or history.

The best! Has a sense of humor and knows how to keep students interested. Also has great teaching and testing methods to not only practically guarantee a good grade, but also that you learn a lot. Favorite class I've taken at Drexel so far, mostly because of her.

Extremely easy grading method. During exams students are permitted to work together and use their textbook to answer questions. Although easy, Dr. Killen respects her students and actually cares about their success.

Best psychology teacher I've ever had. She has great stories and she's a great teacher. Her testing method is awesome, you use your class notes and the textbook and then you take it as a group and then as a class. It may sound easy but you actually learn a lot. She's awesome!! A little cooky but it makes the class more fun

She is wonderful! SO helpful with course material as well understanding and caring if personal issues arise. She's not an "easy A", she just wants her students to reach their potential. One of the best teachers I've ever had

Excellent professor. She's actually interested in helping her students learn. It might not seem 'hard' but you actually learn in her classes. She's fun, helpful and encouraging, and teaches! You can't say that about some other professors who are more interested in being perceived as tough than actually helping their students learn the material!

I have to agree! An easy A, but she's so unorganized and off the wall. Just smile & nod, you'll get by fine with her.
