PSYCH105 . German T C M 14 Years Ago

BY FAR! BY FAR! MY FAVORITE PROFESSOR HERE AT UCSB. She f-in rocks! I love her humor, she tries really hard to make accommodations if you need extra help, tests are the fairest I've ever taken at UCSB (and I'm a senior). DO NOT take 105 with anyone else. I wish she weren't my professor so we could hang out! haha

She seems like a cool lady. She always starts off class with a funny clip. She uses a lot of video examples. There is no reading required everything you need to know is on the slides provided online and she goes through everything you need to know in lecture. She provides study guides so you already know what is on exams. Class got boring at times

This was one of my favorite classes! German had great notes and was a good speaker. The video clips and examples were awesome! :) Even better, no textbook was required. Tests were from lecture only. The topic was really interesting and I was never bored. Loved this class!

this was one of the easiest classes ever taken at UCSB yet it was interesting and easy to attend. German gives you everything you need for the test at lecture and then gives out a review sheet. you can drop an exam. super easy

She is a great teacher and I would definitely recommend taking her! The material is interesting and easy to grasp. You must attend the lectures to succeed in this course. Reading the textbook is optional and unnecessary.

This is a very easy class, and Professor German does everything she can to make the class interesting and she succeeds! Although slides are posted online, their hard to understand without an explanation. Usually studied about an hour or two before the midterms and finished the final in 20 minutes! If you can take her do it!

PSYC105 . German T C M 16 Years Ago

This is the best class I've taken as UCSB by far. The class is really fun and interesting, She gives you lots of videos to look at which helps you remember things much better than pages of notes, and her exams are very fair and shes very approachable. Take this class if you can! I just wish she took more classes.

Prof. German was extremely good. She is very organized and puts up lecture notes long before class which is helpful. She want s students to perform well and is very helpful. Her tests are a little hard, but if you read, attend class, and use lecture notes you should do good. I looked forward to her class every day. Great teacher!

Its no professor Tamsin German. She is amazingly easy and chill and flat out cool. Doesn't over exert herself or the material in class. Lets you out early. Gave a take-home exam. Cancelled numerous classes. Very nice and helpful. Take her if you want an easy chill class that she makes interesting with lectures. I took it in the summer

PSY105 . German T C M 19 Years Ago

He's got the best accent, video clips and powerpoint presentations. He writes the midterm and final mostly on lecture (85% of it to be exact). Gives an outlined study sheet a week before the exam... and really knows his stuff. Class was worth my summer. Highly recommended.

This class was most enjoyable. If you are interested in taking a class that delves deeper into coginitive development, this is the class for you. I was intrigued by the learining material every class. German has a great teaching style and make every class worth attending.

I was kind of disappointed by this class, but maybe it's because I'm almost done with the pysch major and the challenge just wasn't there in an intro class. Overall, the class was interesting, but it's more enjoyable if you're a freshman or sophomore psych major.

He's cool. Go to class, it's not boring, and the test questions come directly from lectures. As long as you don't fall asleep, as long as you pay attention, you WILL get an A on the tests! I promise!

i thought this class should have been more interesting than it was. class is easy enough, but material lags. teacher is good, sometimes confusing, but gets the point across...recommended if you want an easy psych class, not recommended if you want an exciting psych class!

Amazing teacher! It's well organized and interesting. He knows his stuff, and is really helpful with answering questions. Plus, he knows how to engage college students with modernizing the psych experiments (like using South Park characters!).

This man has AWESOME presentations and is incredibly well organized and prepared for class. He even keeps his presentations online so you can come to class ready for extraneous notes. He has a GREAT attitude and is pretty patient and polite with the two dumbasses who asks dumb questions every class

Dr. German is great. This is the second class that I have had with him. He always has powerpoints on the web before class to print out. His lectures are clear and interesting. I really advise that anyone who is interested in child development to take this class.
