Professor Lanuza is a great teacher who also happens to do this weird tough-guy schtick every class. The material in the class can be pretty boring, but he makes class engaging and dynamic by walking around the room and forcing you to take handwritten notes. Probably the easiest class I've taken at UCSB, midterm and final were basically free

Genuinely the best class I have taken in my four years here. His way of teaching makes it really easy to comprehend and understand the material. He's very funny and as long as you follow his rules, you will get an A. You would be doing yourself a disservice by not taking this class. Anyone who says otherwise is lame. We love you and your scarfs.

Im a 4th year psych major, and this was definitely one of my top 5 favorite classes I've ever taken! I have never learned so much in one class. Professor Lanuza is so knowledgeable about the topics, an engaging lecturer, and so funny. I also ended up loving his no electronics policy. Follow his rules and you will get an A no problem! 100% recommend

I'm in his class right now and he is hilarious. Yes he doesn't allow technology and yes he stops the lecture when someone walks in late so just don't do those things. It's so easy to be on his good side if u just FOLLOW HIS RULES. he is a great lecturer and really knows how to say things that will make sense for us. I love him and love his sass

all of his bad reviews are technically true. he doesn't allow technology and will fail you for using it, he will call you out if you are late to class, he does not care about your personal life, etc.. however, his class is literally designed for you to pass, he tells you exactly what you need to know. day 1 he is Evil, but after that he's chill!

If you can do the bare minimum as a student, take this teacher. He is an ass if you're late to class and he doesn't post lectures online so you need to actually go to most lectures, but he basically gives 100% on all writing assignments and tells you exactly what is on the midterm and final. Super easy class and bought pizza on the last day.
