Klein is such a funny guy, very honest, and really enjoyable to have as a teacher.As for the class itself, I'd say you'll do well if you go to class and BUY THE AS NOTES. Klein lectures well but amidst all of the studies he presents sometimes you get confused; the AS notes really help clear that up. I recommend this class, I think you'll have fun.

his lectures were different, no powerpoint slides. he tried to teach his class as a "narrative", but it's hard to see that unless you BUY THE AS LECTURE NOTES. they will help SO MUCH. just study the notes, and you'll do well.

Professor Klein is funny and he keeps lecture interesting. The exam is mostly from the notes, but make sure you read the book and study the info. in there as well because there will be a few questions on both midterm and final pertaining to the book and if I would have studied the book a little more I would have aced the class. Overall, great clas

I took Klein for social psych and really enjoyed his class. He tries to be funny, and the lectures are fairly enjoyable. I liked him so much i took him again for psy 148(psy of self) and if you take 102 with him ull see that 148 is almost identical. He uses most of the same ex. Then i took 117 & a lot of same ex, easy to do well in these classes!!!

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.

AWESOME. probably one of the best, if not the best, prof. in psych department. he's hilarious, interesting, brilliant but humble. take any of his courses and consider yourself lucky you ever had the oppportunity

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!

A.S. Notes-amazing! Writting by him. BEST professor i have ever had!! Amazing, interesting, funny. No need to go to class if you have A.S. notes..but GO!! Such a great interesting class its worth every second sitting in that seat! I absolutely love this guy!!! Can't wait to have him again!

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!!

He changed my life! He is AMAZING!

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
