John and Janice are good lecturers and the class material is interesting. The second half of the quarter was a lot less exciting. This class takes up a lot of time because of the 3 midterms. You have to know everything they cover in the book and lecture to get a good grade. I'd recommend the class because the material is useful and lectures are fun

He and Janice are both great teachers. They are very clear and fair in their expectations and grading. They give a lot of reading, and ur expected to kno it all plus the lecture notes (diff from the readings) for the 3 midterms, plus a cumulative final. It's not an easy class, but if u work at it, ull do very well.

Great professor!!! Taught everything really well with his wife. The tests weren't too hard, just make sure you go to the reviews and study all of your lecture notes! I highly recommend this class!

The class is really interesting and useful. The Baldwins are pretty fun and lecture isn't boring. You don't have to go to lecture if you buy the notes at AS student notes. you are tested on lecture notes. review sessions before each test that are really helpful. i never even bought the textbook and i got an A-. i definitely recommend the class

he is a very entertaining teacher. he teaches human sexuality with his wife, another professor, and they are so cute together! human sexuality was an incredibly interesting class (also helpful for sex life) but you really have to know ALL the information to get a good grade

If you're not a freshman enamored with the fact that no one's MAKING you go to classes now, you'll hate this class. If you go most days and take notes, and hit the TA pre-test reviews, this class is entertaining and not hard.

Review sessions are extremely helpful. Don't underestimate how cumulative the exam is, most of it is from previous chapters. Don't bother studying previous exams that won't work for the final. There's so much to memorize and when the test comes you'll find a ridiculous qt that you have no idea where it came from. Overall it's an OK class.

It is a very fun class, but it's also very hard. You have to memorize tons of STIs and birth control methods. The review sessions are extremely useful. They tells you what you need to know for the midterms and final.

The Baldwins are amazing! They made human sexuality so fun! This is my favorite class at UCSB. I suggest that any freshman or sophomore looking for a general education class should take this class. There is a lot of information to remember but if you go to the TA's study sessions then you should do fine.

The baldwins are a great team of professors who are really dedicated to their subject (who wouldnt be) and are very fun lecturers. There is never a reason to miss any of their lectures because they are all very exciting. However, I suggest that they get with the times and use powerpoint rather than slides since the projector always gets jammed

I got a solid A on all three midterms and ended up with a B in the class because of the final, which was way harder than necessary. They were both very entertaining and the class was great. READ THE BOOK and OUTLINE it! The tests are mostly essay questions with a few multiple choice.

I took this class back in 1991. It seems that it has not changed. They show you explicit films for the first few weeks and then tell you how to run your life in a condescending way after the drop date. Abortion, emotional tirades about AIDS and****are emotional/philosophical topics and have NO place in a class about the SCIENCE of sex.

Great class! Teachers are hilarious together. Just go to class and take notes. Reading helps, but the review sessions can save you from most of it! 3 midterms: about 5 multiple choice and answer 4 out of 5 essay questions. Format's weird the first time.

Don't take this class if you're not a freshman and/or know how to put on a condom. Sriously, the class is for prudes. I learned nothing new that I didn't know before. Plus, they are a little creepy...

Because they teach as a couple, the Baldwin's are fun and bounce lecture topics off each-other. However, their knowledge on things not related to sex that they still lecture on (like the Catholic church) is limited. Fun class, but do not take it if you do not want to be fed liberal propaganda.

Awesome class. Just read the book and attend lectures most of the time and you get an easy A. Tests are based off lecture/reading and are pretty easy if you listened or read. They are great speakers and make the class very entertaining

Definitely a fun class. The professors are hilarious. It is kind of a lot of reading but it's interesting material, and the lectures are pretty interesting. Tests are hard if you don't study, but if you take good notes and read you'll be fine.

Both their voices are horribly monotone and got really annoying after awhile. The class felt like it was very pre packaged with not a lot of spontaneity, you can tell they do the EXACT same thing every quarter. Tests were harder than they should be, and you pretty much just have to study EVERYTHING. Reviews were worthless. TAs were jerks.

Good professor, really physical, he jumps around a lot and its funny. His tests are terrible and his graders have nothing to do with the students, they just grade ultra objectively and I am upset I wasted 10 weeks in this class.

1. Do not expect to take this as an easy elective class. 2. Tests are on book and lecture material about 40% book 60% lecture. 3. Study sessions offered are simply past students reading a freaking printed out outline that they don't just print for you and save you 3 hours of copying it down. 4. Take notes (esp. lists), test q's are pretty specific.

Very interesting and informative class. I recommend to all. It's a husband & wife teaching. THree midterms and a final. There are review sessions before each test..make sure you go. Pay attention in lecture and do your reading and it should be an easy A.

John is really nice and the class is great. attend all lectures and read the book. it is a lot but very interesting!

The class is not as easy as the comments are making it out to be. The TA's take their role too seriously and detract the attention from actually retaining information to matching their exact demands on the exam. TA's are aweful while the prof. are simply ok. Subject matter is interesting but lectures can be rather dull. Take at ur own risk.
