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.

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!

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.

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.
