This was a manageable class but it didn't quite live up to my expectations. On the one hand, the professor is really smart, the T.A is helpful, and the work is pretty straightforward (the only work you have are the assigned readings and a 1-page reaction paper you have to write in regards to the readings that are graded on completion). However, the concepts can get challenging, the readings are long and dry, the professor doesn't use powerpoints (which makes the lectures hard to follow), and he is also not opposed to putting people on the spot during lecture. The exams are relatively challenging, but the professor does curve the class liberally.

Really enjoyed professor Kellman's lectures! They were completely discussion based and focused on the readings that he assigned every week. For some of the weeks, there was a lot of reading to do and less on other weeks. Kellman was very interesting and had quirky humor.

There were response papers that were super easy and a midterm and final.

There's not powerpoints or anything. He would sit there and talk the whole class time, and you take notes of everything he says.
Tons of readings.
Exams are hard.
Would not recommend taking

Professor Kellman is very intelligent and engaging, but he does make his students think for themselves. It's all discussion based - basically you just read articles and discuss them in class. For this reason, the exams were hard, because there was SO much material and it was hard to pick out the important stuff and know what would be on the test. I personally really enjoyed the class even though it was challenging. A great introduction to cog sci that goes over tons of the important ideas from the entire field.

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.

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 *************
