PSY108 . 2 Months Ago

Professor Schooler has been my favorite professor here at UCSB so far! He is extremely knowledgeable and would answer any questions students asked with ease and detail. His tests were a bit hard, but reading the textbook and making flashcards helped. Going to his office hours helps a lot too. I would definitely take one of his classes again.

Dr. Schooler unfortunately seemed like the type of tenured professor to only care about his research and not at all about his classes. His lecture style included using confusing verbiage and elaborating off slides that barely provided any information. He also didn't post his lectures anywhere. Final grade was just your highest midterm + final

PSY108 . 3 Months Ago

the grades for this class are based solely on two midterms and a final. this wasnt rly an issue tho because the class is pretty easy. he does give a study guide but it basically says to study everything. the concepts are pretty intuitive so not too hard to learn and Schooler is passionate about the material

Despite what a lot of people say, I really liked him! The test questions were half things from the book and half things in lecture. So as long as you pay attention during those, you should get an A. His lectures were also really entertaining and had a lot of interactive features. He does sometimes speed through material, but not too bad.

PSY108 . 5 Months Ago

the only thing in the grade is 1 midterm worth 60% and a final worth 40% (you take two midterms and he keeps only your highest score).he is very passionate about his teaching & loves answering questions. The ta was also very nice and responsive, both were willing to work around your schedule if you couldn't make it to office hours. loved the class

Schooler is very well-known in the psych field so he def knows his stuff. He clarifies so much in office hours so go ask your questions there! Reading was the only issue I had since it's not the most efficient way to learn but you have to read to get A's on the exams. There was an extremely generous curve given so an A is definitely doable!
