Dr. Szumlinski is a great professor! She is clearly very passionate about the subject, and wants to feed the passions of students interested in Neuropharmacology. Her class is challenging, as it is solely graded on the midterm and final and lectures are filled with a lot of information, but she has very clear expectations. Study, and you'll do well

had to drop a class last second to take both 115/134 she offered in Spring, BEST DECISION! Very knowledgable and very approachable during OH and her personality is great fun! You expect pharmacology to be dry but not with her. Definitely one of the gem professors in the Psych department, you see her name on GOLD you Click! umk?!

I LOVE Dr. K and her positive energy! She's very approachable. Had her for 115&134 she's the best! Great lecturer, highly recommend attending! Tells you what to expect on exams. It's ALOT of new material though so you won't do well if you cram study (:/). Do the objectives! I have learned so much, thank you so much Dr. K!

What they say is true. One of the best psych professors, very funny. Attendance isn't really mandatory but is encouraged. Reading the textbook helps but quizzes and midterm are very lecture-heavy. The class material is not super difficult but it is A LOT of content.

Dr. K is the best professor at UCSB. Psychopharm is a tough subject but the way she teaches it is very thorough. The lectures were longer but she helped me understand what wouldve been incredibly hard for me to learn. In reality, youre saving time by watching the long lect cause ur not spending hours trying to study and wrap your head around it.

Professor Szumlinski (Dr. K) is the BEST! She is my all time favorite professor at UCSB. The online lectures for 134 are a little longer but thats because she does a fantastic job explaining the complex concepts. Her tests are very fair. She has objectives for each lecture, fill those out and understand them and you will do well!
