Such a great professor. Attendance isn't mandatory but you should go since there is not textbook for this course. Class is fun so you should go anyways :) There are 3 test and she post a study guide for each one along with lecture notes.

VERY Easy class, no textbook. However powerpoints are not very organized or clear, but if you understand material tests are easy. Only midterm and final for grade, if you do bad on first midterm, second midterm grade erasers first one.

This class isn't hard, no textbook, however the powerpoints are not very organized and if you do not go to class, trying to study for the tests off of them is not helpful. Entertaining videos and interesting information, could be better at organizing the concepts. The tests are wordy and a little harder then some expect. Easy class overall

Very intresting lectures, gives videos to keep concentration, all notes online, really fun course, my best psyc course at UCSB so far - only thing is I was sure she was called Tamsin! Report this rating

She was alright, nothing special. Her lectures vary from extremely boring to extremely entertaining. It seems to be a hit or miss. There are no book readings which is nice. However, if you don't go to lecture, just studying off of her lecture slides and review sheets is almost impossible. Her tests are also annoyingly wordy

Her lectures are incredibly entertaining, clear and humorous. She has a quick wit and a dry sense of humor and uses clips from recent shows and films to make points clearer. A really great teacher and i would recommend any class she teaches. Favorite psych professor at UCSB.

BEST CLASS EVER!!!! She is an amazing teacher. Clearly teaches the material, tests are fair, doesn't use a book, uses online forums for guidance, and is very helpful during office hours. Lectures online but I recommend going to class. She uses funny examples and clips to make the class fun and clear!

Great professor. Clearly teaches and tells what she expects from her students. Lecture slides were online, book was optional. Grading was fair and midterms were fairly easy.

Easiest class! No reading, lecture slides online, and she is super clear. I literally ACED both midterms! over 100% with the bonus questions. even though you won't need to, i recommend going to office hours cause she is a freaking genius!

Easiest class ever! Lectures online. Tests are only based off of lecture because there is no book. Even though you don't have to go to class, the lectures are interesting and fun. Highly recommended even if your not a psy major

By far one of my most favorite classes. Material is very interesting, teachers is funny, and lectures are actually very fun to attend. Learned alot. Would defintely recommend taking even just for fun

Best class ever! She is very clear in her lecture and the slides are interesting. The video clips are awesome and entertaining. I loved this class and got an A+. Take this if you can for a good grade and a chance to learn some interesting facts.

Easily one of the best professors at this school. Tests are extremely fair. I actually looked forward to lectures because of the interesting/funny video clips she would play in each class. She also plays in a rock band and is a Dexter fan. Pretty cool. Take this class. you'll be happy you did.

Love German! The lectures are wonderful because her use of many examples. Her tests are very fair. I highly recommend her class and think she is wonderful!

No textbook! Just lecture slides (which are online). She shows videos every single class which are SUPER helpful and entertaining. Very organized and very clear. Great professor and great class and pretty easy too! HIghly recommend it

no reading, no studying, attended every lecture, and i got a B, in other words, one of the easiest classes i have taken. my favorite psychology professor without question, and also one of the best lecturers.

Best class I had so fat at UCSB, the professor is awesome and is very clear in lectures. She knows exactly what she's talking about and she goes slow and made sure everyone understood the material. She is also very helpful and patience in her office hours! The tests comes directly from the lectures, make sure you use the study guide she provides!

She's a really sweet lady and the material is really interesting. There's no book required and tests are pretty fair. I'd def take her again

One of the best professors I've had. You don't need to go to lecture but I enjoyed the class so much that I actually looked forward to going. She shows lots of videos that are very helpful for remembering the material. And she has an awesome English accent, what more is there to ask for?

German is awesome. She is very clear and I always looked forward to going to class. She uses power point slides and attendance isn't mandatory put she plays clips in class to help you understand the concepts better. Definitely one of my favorite teachers at UCSB.

Material is fairly easy, no book, everything is based off lectures/power points. Although attendance isn't mandatory to do well, the video clips do help a lot (and they're entertaining). She is always available and willing to help and has lots of extra office hrs near test dates. Tests are easy as long as you go to class and look at study guide.

Probably my favorite professor at UCSB. I actually looked FORWARD to going to class. Material is not the easiest, but I rated it as easy because Professor German made sure we had a lot of help. Her videos helped to visualize material, her study guides covered all test subjects, and the online forums were a big help. She's really funny and cool too!

Awesome professor, shows funny and relevant videos and is very clear in her explanations.

Professor Tasmin was so awesome! Her lectures were very clear, interesting, and usually really fun. She shows lots of video clips, (little kids are really entertaining to watch) I loved going to class. Her exams are very fair, study and you will do really well. Practice midterm and bonus questions. Take the class if you are a psych. major, def.
