great lectures. This class should be a requirment for everyone. easy B if you just study the stuff an hour of 2 the night before the midterm.
Lectures are worthless and midterms basically consist of the readings. I went to class a total of 6 times. The short answer questions were based on the readings, so basically if you read the text, you dont need to go to lecture.
Great teacher, much friendlier than his wife so if you have a problem speak with him, very understanding
they're weird. really weird. and half the time you wish you had a video camera because you don't believe two people like this not only exist, but they found each other, fell in love and got married. tests were hard, teachers bizarre, I say take the class.
Definately take atleast 152a. Keep up with your reading and you'll get atleast a b+. Interesting material so its not a boring read. Baldwins are AWESOME.
Great class. You learn a lot of interesting stuff. Read and go to study sessions and the tests should be pretty easy.
The is a FANTASTIC. My favorite by far in college. The exams are hard, but relative. I read the book, never missed class and got an A. Questions can be a bit specific though.
Prof Baldwin is good. Its just that i think the class is harder than it really needs to be. Not an easy A.
the baldwins are very fun, and truly interested in teaching. lectures were really funny and informative. test were kind of hard.
The Baldwins are the cutest things ever! Their sex class is great, well taught, and it is very easy! Only class I actually get 100% on tests!
The Baldwins are great, they make sex class lots of fun and offer an excellent presentation of the material, they also really care about thier students and what is going on in their lives and are always available for questions, etc.
So the thing about 152A is that you do actually need to read the book, or at least i did, and got an A. They are super nice once you're in 152B but before that generally it's hard to get into the in crowd. Very understanding, kind and helpful people.
Everyone at UCSB should take this class.. the Baldwins were awesome professors, they were so helpful.. a lot of memorization but totally worth it
I disagree with the previous! The Baldwins don't teach, they entertain. Lecture is maybe 1% of what is on the tests. Everyone knows this. Get an 'A' or whatever, but that won't change the fact that nice people don't always make good professors!
Yup, this course is terrible. But the tests have little to no connection to the lectures. Only the 1st test is from lectures. The Baldwins are nice but, terrible professors. Knowing the material is not what helps, just memory and regurgitation!!
One of the best courses I've taken at UCSB, awesome husband and wife teaching team, great, fun information and videos, involves lots of memorization, tests pretty hard, just study the material over and over again! It's worth it.
The Baldwins are awesome teachers. I learned so much valuable info in Human Sexuality that can be used forever. Definitely take that class, or at least audit it during your time here. The class isn't super hard (as long as you study and go to reviews)
Really not hard at all, just don't be an idiot. Read the book sometimes, go to lecture and you should be just fine...
This class is sooo hard for an elective course. WHO GRADES THE TESTS!!!!! The TAs WILL make you rip your hair out because they grade the tests so harhsly. I do not recommend this class unless you want to devote lots and lots of studying time to an electiv
LOVES teaching and shows it. Very enthusiastic about the subject area. He's so great that I followed him and took his classes for a whole year! Also teaches Soc 142, 152A/B/C and 165E.
i think what everyone has said is good. These were my fav classes, the bladwins are the best proff's at this school!
John Baldwin is the best teacher I ever had at UCSB. His tests are hard but when you do well in his class it reflects that you KNOW your subject. Got an A and then became a T.A.
