Klein is what all too few UCSB professors are not: A good lecturer. Class is interesting, but sit toward the front he is low tech, no PP or website. His humor is cool. The difficulty of the course is typical for a ucsb psych class- study and you will receive an A

Great professor. Made Psychology very interesting! He was funny, clear, and no homework except for studying, and reading the textbook, which wasn't necessary. I never read and did well on both the midterm and final. A-

He was a good professor and the class was interesting, but the test's killed me. I studied a lot for the midterm and the final and felt like I knew the stuff really well and still ended up with a C+

Haha - This prof was great.only opened the book for glossary page.went to class a lot (not mandatory)but only took notes 1/2 the time.purchased AS NOTES...VERY HELPFUL!!most test questions were from lecture, some book which the T.A. made (our T.A. sucked); however if you study you'll do fine.my only complaint was T.A.

Really good professor. Whatever he goes over in class is what is going to be on the test, so make sure you go to class. He has no power points so pay attention. Go to class and you will do good.

Really interesting guy, outlines the class before starting lecture every day, writes the AS notes so BUY THEM BUY THEM BUY THEM. You don't really ever have to go to lecture but you should if there's nothing else to do. The book isn't really that important-- there will be about 5-10 out of 60 q's from the book, but you can guess. Recommended overall

Go to class and try to stay awake. I don't know if it was because of his back problems, but this class was miserable. Ruined psych for me... since this class I've lost most of my interest in Psychology and its poor attempt at trying to examine the self.

Super nice teacher, very funny and he knows what hes talking about. He is very helpful in trying to make you understand the material. You should go to lecture b/c all of the test ques. will be from the notes. You dont have to read the book only has 15 ques. The tests are hard if you dont study, go to test reviews.

This class is related to 102, 138 and 117. I like it A LOT. About 1/3 questions from reader, and 2/3 from lecture. DO THE READINGS! Stan is the man! You'll think this class is really cool. 1 midterm, 1 final. It's all good. Nothing tricky, just study the info. If you are an intelligent psych major who "gets it" most of the time, you'll do great! :)

Interesting material and stories. Stan has a lot of experience in the field. Buy the AS notes and read the book. Class isn't as easy as it sounds, but it is definetly do-able.

Definitely keep up with the book and reading, but you will learn a lot from lecture. The class is cool because it deals with topics you don't really hear much about. Dr. Klein is really the man. I should have studied more but I still got a B+.

Awesome class. One of the best Psych classes of the upper division 100~109 series. Proffesor's got great humor, he draws well, lectures are always high in clarity. Exams are fair. Just go to lecture and take supplementary notes upon subscribing to A.S. Notes. Professor himself writes these and it's EXTREMELY HELPFUL!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!

The best teacher and class I have taken in my life--seriously! The man is a genius. Do yourself a favor and show up to class. I got a B but getting an A is very possible...just dont get too hammered while studying for the final

LOVED this class! I know a lot of people are posting that they barely attended class... but go! His lectures are great and he's so funny, you'd be missing out on the quality of his personality if you didn't go!

Awesome class, get the AS notes for sure. Not a hard class if you go to class and read the book and AS notes. I managed an A, and I didn't even take notes.

Go to class or buy the AS notes. I went to about 5 classes all quarter, read all the AS notes, and the summeries of the chapters and managed a B. Hes hilarious, so time flies. Take as many classes with Prof. Klein as you can!!

Klein is awesome! I actually looked forward to going to this class, and the midterms and final were easy. He has no slides which is really helpful cause you can actually focus on what he is saying. This class is highly recommended

Klein is the coolest! Totally straight forward, totally clear and helpful. If you study, you'll do well. If you go to the review session, you'll do really well. If you show up to class and don't get an A, you must have been sleeping.
