Loved his lectures. Pretty engaging and easy to follow. His quizzes are straight from his lectures so there's no surprises/trick questions. Grade consisted of 8 quizzes (10 points each) - online 15 minutes due every sunday. Timing can seem a little stressful but youll be fine honestly.

She's such a sweet person! The class was mainly lectures and article readings s it was easy to keep up with. Every lecture has a dog video and she really knows what she's talking about.

Really nice guy, straightforward grading and lectures were engaging.

2 is best i can give

She made my WORST experience at UCSB. Thanks to her that I finally know how bad a prof can be. Really not accessible, unfriendly, not empathetic at all, and like a robot.

TOO MUCH WRITING ASSIGNMENTS FOR A PSYCH CLASS!!!! SHE AND THE TA RARELY REPLY TO EMAIL ON TIME. AND NOT REALLY HELPFUL

I mean this is seriously the worst grade I ever had not trying to show off. And this prof does not even round up the grades which is really confusing. She seems like really nice to give extra 1% which actually doesnt help at all.

Almost never reply to email and really rude

Tough grader and please don't take this course EVER

Easy and interesting material, but tests are full of tricky questions. Not super accommodating to students.

You will never want to take her class

Zoe is the worst Psychology teacher I have encountered in my three years at UCSB; apart from Erin Horowitz. Her tests are riddled with tricky wording and pedant details. She is immensely un-empathetic toward students and is clearly here for research. I don't know why these people are rating her positively, because she is truly a TERRIBLE teacher.

Ratner's one of the best professors I've had at UCSB so far. He's super chill and has extremely clear grading criteria. He makes statistics almost entertaining and is very clear about the content that will be on the exams. I recommend doing textbook practice problems with lecture slides open next to you, and you'll easily get an A no doubt

This class was deceivingly hard simply because Liberman's test questions can be complex and confusing. You gotta thoroughly know the exact studies and their implications that are mentioned in the lectures. There's no textbook, but a few interesting papers that you'll go through. She's really nice, but the tests are difficult and closed-note.

Honestly the best upper-div psychology professor I have had thus far. He is VERY accommodating (especially during this pandemic). His lectures are so clear, concise, and easy to understand. His examples also make it very easy to understand the concepts. His quizzes are very easy and based on lectures + readings. SOLID PROFESSOR!

Professor Ratner was so kind and compassionate, especially about handling things during the pandemic. Class consisted of watching his 2 lectures a week, reading 1-3 readings, and then taking a weekly quiz in which he dropped the lowest score. The quizzes were timed but open note, which was very fair. Definitely the best class I've taken in a while!

I loved taking PSY152 with Professor Ratner! He is definitely one of the most compassionate professors I've had at UCSB. He is really understanding given the pandemic and he made the resources needed to succeed in the class available throughout the quarter. Overall, one of my favorite courses I've taken thus far in college!

Ratner is an amazing lecturer and professor who is very generous to his students during this pandemic. He drops the lowest quiz score and didnt require purchasing any textbook, which is a huge plus. We definitely need more professors like Ratner. If youre interested in the Social Psychology field, you definitely should take him!

The Prof made a great transition to online class. This class is fascinating, w lots of interesting videos in lectures and concepts that were explained very well. This class was so interesting for any1 interested in psychology. She seems like a really good person too, someone Id be friends with! Favorite class Ive ever taken at UCSB

She's followed by Obama on Twitter but I bet that if Obama met her in real life he would unfollow her. Professor Liberman is not empathetic nor understanding that students may be going through struggles during a pandemic. She's not accessible and she clearly writes in her syllabus that you can not email her and if you do she will not respond.

She really gave us a midterm on election day despite knowing the stress everyone is going through...........

She was not very helpful during office hours. She can be kinda cold and kinda seemed to annoyed to have office hours.

This class had very interesting material that was applicable to current society. Professor Ratner was really kind and accommodating due to COVID-19. Lectures are easy to understand, articles are short and doable, and quizzes are really straightforward. As long as you watch lectures and take notes, you'll be set!

I'm not sure why her rating is so low, I personally enjoyed her class the concepts were very interesting. Honestly just go to class and put in the effort to study and you'll get an A. Grades were mainly based on one midterm and one final. It also had some online surveys and clickers for a small part of the grade.
