Klein is amazing, he is so deeply passionate about what he's teaching and saying you don't really feel like you're learning just absorbing interesting knowledge. He doesn't post lectures so you have to attend lecture but it's fun and the whole class was kinda apart of the discussion. One final super easy, tells you what's going to be on final!

You have a midterm and a final that is it. He has no slides which is alright because it keeps you locked in on the lecture. His exams are also very easy.

stan is a great lecturer and super knowledgable about the subject. i felt like he and our TA were on different pages but it all worked out in the end. the 2 exams were multiple choice and pretty straightforward. i bought the book and found it helpful but you can find someone to share with or use a pdf. i just wish he was a little more tech savvy.

Just lectures, no slides, no mics. Sit near the front and put your phone away so you don't get distracted. Just showed up to class and typed almost everything he said for my own benefit. He also uses an outline so you know what stuff is important. Made a few friends and exchanged notes to see what I was missing. Test are easy if you pay attention.

Klein is a great professor but to me the content got quite confusing due to how philosophical it could get. Class is only graded on midterm + final so you have to do well on both. While the structure of his lectures sounds daunting they never went the full time and went by pretty quick! Just make sure you go since there aren't any slides/recordings

Easily one of the highlights of my time at UCSB. While many courses lack a clear central question, Prof. Klein's class is deeply intentional, using experimental design to explore core ideas. If you engage with the material, it's genuinely perspective-shifting. A rare and thoughtful course, taught by an individual truly attuned to critical thought.
