This is the most life-changing class I have taken. The material is like nothing you have learned before. I learned how to meditate, focus/concentrate, self-compassion, and really a new perspective on life. I can't recommend it more. Prof Schooler is a great person. He spends a lot of time answering questions in class and after. He is availb in OH

Pretty tough class. Dr. Schooler is an incredible teacher and researcher, but the exams for this course are pretty tough. Two midterms, each worth 25%, and a final worth 50%. He curved the second midterm because the average was extremely low, which was awesome. Highly recommend the class but it can be pretty challenging.

40/60 course. Final was cumulative and study guide was HUGE. Super difficult to know what to study. Gave the option to get one extra credit point for writing a final exam question and another extra point if he ended up using it. So pretty much you write the exam for him. Attendance not mandatory, interesting topics, but not very interesting class.

This was one of my favorite and most interesting upper div courses! Schooler is hilarious and his lectures are always so informational and engaging. Your grade is only based on exams so going to lecture and reading the book is important. He loves when students ask questions, and is overall a great professor!

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
