Klein is my favorite professor at UCSB. He's a genius, incredibly funny, and his classes aren't too hard. Lectures are easy to follow. Too bad he's teaching psych 1 next quarter because I want to take him for a 3rd class.

Klein is so brilliant that going to class is fun. He doesn't use a powerpoint bc he talks to his students like ppl. He is very clear what will be on the exam and what will not be on it. Textbook is easy reading, just do it before the 2 exams and you'll be fine. He is a master at the subject matter and uses studies to back up all of his facts.

Amazing professor. You'll have to study and work for a good grade, but a mediocre grade is attainable if you just show up to class (he's such a great lecturer that at least some of the material will stick--even if you don't study). Make sure to read the terms and big themes in the textbook. 30% of the questions on the exam will come from the book.

Loved the class, loved the professor. Klein is amazing! He's funny, answers questions well, and is completely fair with his tests. Was a little worried when I saw that he has no slides, but I loved his lecturing style! He even gives away a few test questions if few people turn up.

Klein intelligent. You can tell he understands his field very well. He uses the chalkboard, presents information clearly. No Power-points. He will tell you what he expects you to know for tests so make sure you listenattend lectures. He tends to try to explain things as if he aspires to be a philosopher. Logical, humorous and brilliant minded.

He's a great teacher! I don't know why people are so critical of him. He doesn't use lecture slides so that you actually have to listen to what he's saying, and that means attending class. He's really smart and some things can go over your head the first time, but he explains it again if you ask! Great professor, great class.

His textbook is impossible to understand. His lectures are kind of all over the place and he doesn't use lecture slides so attendance is mandatory. His tests and written like his book so also very hard to understand. He doesn't do anything online so good luck trying to reach him outside of class...He's funny though..

I was scared when I heard he doesn't use powerpoint but he is extremely clear during lecture and his AS notes are a good supplement (but don't rely on them, they don't include everything). His tests are straightforward with no surprises but READ THE BOOK, it's dry and sometimes confusing so go to his office hours when you need clarification.

I also had him for 102 and he is a great professor! It shows how knowledgable he is on this material when he plans his lecture right on the spot. I think by not using powerpoint, he engages the class more because people have to actually listen to what he says. He uses helpful examples for experiments and tells us the main findings in each one.

Awesome dude, created legitimate interest in the course and was really passionate about the subject. Be sure to study lectures though, since most of the class was weighed on them and be aware that his test are pretty tough.

Really enjoyed Klein's lectures. When I first heard he doesn't use Powerpoint I was put off, but after one lecture I was totally cool with it. You can actually focus on what he is saying rather than worrying about writing down everything on a slide. Lectures are very interesting. I would definitely recommend taking a class with him.

Amazing professor!

He is alright. Rambles on about random things. Does not write everything on the board that you need to know for test. AS notes are not as helpful as you think. good luck

Great lecturer: funny and engaging. Clearly outlines what he expects from students. Easy and fair grader; tests are straightforward. Always go to lecture and read the book, it helps supplement what he says! Plus he actually tests you on it.

It's sad that this is the last time he is teaching Social Psych because he is a really interesting professor. Lectures are mandatory because he doesn't have lecture slides. He will even give away some answers to the exams just to spite those who skip class. Overall, really funny guy and made the material easy to absorb!

Great professor

LOVED Klein! I was worried when he said he only used a chalkboard BUT he is a wonderful/interesting lecturer and is engaging anyway. Very insightful, funny, and self-deprecating. Material is interesting and fairly easy to grasp if you go to class and listen! Tests are challenging but fair- listen, read the ASnotes & skim the book!!

The professor is funny, blunt, and teaches social psychology very well. Go to all his lectures and do the readings. A majority of the questions on the midterm and final are from lectures and a few from the book!

Klein is basically a god amongst men. Go to his lectures and pay attention and you'll do fine on the tests. His lectures will keep you entertained most of the time, and he likes to crack the occasional joke. Definitely recommend taking any class with him.

This class is only hard if you don't go to lecture and don't listen. Everything makes sense and is really interesting, and his tests are really fair! He even supplies AS Notes that you can buy. I really liked this class, was one of my favorites!!

This teacher was not only horrible,and avoided fully answering questions in class, but his notes never applied to the test. Several of my other classmates thought his tests were overly confusing. He only writes on a chalk board and hates computers he openly stated that he will take weeks to get back to emails. Avoid having this teacher!!

Stan was the man. Really funny and interesting lectures. Highly recommend taking this class. The midterm (40% of grade) and final (60%) were both highly based off the lectures and pretty simple. Know the bold terms from book like others have said and thats it. Fun and easy class!

Great class, he is really funny and entertaining. If you go to class and read the vocab words from the book you should be able to get an A. The AS notes also helped a lot.

He is a great professor. A very educated man who knows what he is talking about. You have to make sure you study though. Focus on the bold words in the book and go over your notes. I would recommend going to the class you end up learning a lot.
