Very clear lecture! One midterm (40%) and one final (60%). Almost all questions are on lecture material. Some questions on book--but only on bold terms. Know the different experiments, the theory they support, and who conducted them. Overall great class!!
Great class, awesome professor. Prof Klein is very eccentric, but also hilarious. He's very clear about what he expects, and does a great job lecturing. Multiple-choice midterm and final, both very easy. I recommend this class/professor to anyone
One of the best teachers I've ever had. Buy the AS notes and you don't even need to go to lecture, but I still recommend going. He's funny and entertaining, knows what he's talking about and makes lecture enjoyable
Klein is a funny guy. Lecture attendance is mandatory since he doesnt follow the book, but still expects you to read the chapters assigned. Klein made Human Memory enjoyable although I had no interest in it. Tests were multiple choice and straight forward. Sometimes he made fun of students, I'd still recommend him.
One of the best professors I have ever had. I actually enjoyed going to every lecture
His lectures are funny and interesting, but the tests were more difficult than I anticipated. I knew all the material and still got a B in the class... the only B I've ever received in college. I guess it depends on your learning and test taking style, but if you blow a test, you blow the class.
Klein is such a badass, one of my favorite professors so far. Really interesting course, a lot of overlap from introductory psych and comm courses. He is just awesome. Great course, just midterm and final. Get the AS lecture notes for sure.
Very interesting content, Klein is for sure one of the best lecturers at UCSB. He will definitley stick with you if you take one of his classes, he is very captivating and the way he responds to smart ass questions is a thing of beauty.
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!!!
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
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
