I loved this class! Professor Klein uses the blackboard, so I worried initially, but it really helped! This way, the pace was manageable, plus he regularly made sure everyone followed. It's been too long since I last learned so well. With his teaching, the info just stuck so well. Fascinating material + GREAT teacher = sponge-like absorbency = A.
Kein is a genius. He really is brilliant and you will be able to see that when you go to his class. He bases his tests off of lecture, so I highly encourage you go. He does not use powerpoint, but he really tries to make the material clear. His midterm had no material from the book, but the final did. The midterm is easy, but the final is harder.
Amazing class, probably my favorite at ucsb so far. very easy, i found it quite obvious what we had to know. learn the as notes and you pretty much get an a in the class. he can seem a little unapproachable, but he is a very sweet guy. id recommend this class to everyone.
I really enjoyed this class, the concepts and his style. He is very patient and wants students to understand. Prof Klein actually enjoys teaching and he wants us to have critical thinking during lectures. I like his humor and the fact that he knows his topic so well. The clinical cases are fascinating. I highly recommend this class
This class is what made me so interested in the Psych major. Going to lecture really helps understand all of his genius concepts and give you some test answers but you can also buy the notes at the AS office which help for studying. The midterm was super easy if you understand the main ideas and study! Go to the review sessions.
Ive been so used to professors using pwrpnt that it was diff. for me to really be able to summarize the important parts of what he was talking about. This is why I relied heavily on the AS notes and the book. btw READ THE BOOK! About 30% of the midterms are based on the books studies. He is overall a good prof. and excellent lecturer.
This class may seem difficult, but that's because he actually requires you to "think" unlike other typical professors. He has Asperger Syndrome and a PhD from Harvard. Leading psychologist in his field. What more could you want from a professor?
Interesting class and material, tests are challenging.
Really fun and interesting class. The first midterm was really easy and the final was a little more difficult. The reader is a very hard read but most of the material is covered in lectures. If you've taken any of his classes before it's pretty much a review of those with a little more emphasis on the self.
I LOVED this professor and this class. Easily my favorite class of the quarter. The material is really interesting and the professor is an expert on it. He is funny, too! His lectures are structured and interesting, so I absorbed all the material from the lecture. I barely had to study for it. Definitely recommend!
I don't know what the person below me is talking about b/c Prof Klein is by far the best teacher I've had. No where near Revlin's level... The class is difficult but an A is totally achievable if you put some effort into the readings. His method of teaching worked well for me, I barely had to review my notes b/c everything he said stuck in my head
Klien's a badass. I love his nasty lil cough (i know you hate when we talk about this). He's extremely knowledgable and deserves more credit! take his class, but do ALL THE READINGS. random questions on the test from reading that you'd never suspect.
He is everything a real professor should be!
Professor Klein is very funny and his classes are entertaining and interesting. The lectures are a bit hard to follow as he doesn't have a power point, and doesn't put much on the board except for the class outline. Must be self driven to succeed in this class.
Great professor. He's a self professed sufferer of Asperger's - funny guy when I don't really think he intends to. Lectures are very clear and he is obviously passionate about what he teaches. Refreshing class to take.
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.
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
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! :)
For 117, I Heart Klein!, and for 148, I still heart Klein!!! He is still my favorite psych professor at UCSB. This guy is hilarious and so fun to listen to. Psy 148 is a cool class, but it gets confusing towards the latter half of the class. Take him at the Ventura center, the classes are much smaller and

klein is very basic. grade is midterm and final, thats it. boring to listen to lectures, but definately manageable material. if you're looking for a class that doesnt require a lot of time, this is it!
HE's very interesting, but not really good at explaining his own experiments.
Klein is a very interesting professor to listen to and going to class is actually fun. I recommend getting the AS notes because he writes them and they are very good. Take any class Klein offers!
He is amazing and one of the best professors I have had at this school. If you are in the psych dept. and don't take him...that is sad. He is very clear cut about what you need to know and is not out to trick you.
