This is a very easy class, and Professor German does everything she can to make the class interesting and she succeeds! Although slides are posted online, their hard to understand without an explanation. Usually studied about an hour or two before the midterms and finished the final in 20 minutes! If you can take her do it!

Great class, great prof, im sad its over!

Great class, great professor. She uses heaps of video clips so it's easy to pay attention, the material's interesting, she's funny, the tests are easy, and there's no mandatory reading. Take this class!

This is the best class I've taken as UCSB by far. The class is really fun and interesting, She gives you lots of videos to look at which helps you remember things much better than pages of notes, and her exams are very fair and shes very approachable. Take this class if you can! I just wish she took more classes.

It could be said she was 'willfully ignorant' by people who wanted to compare their own drug-taking experience with the scientific pharmacology. My friends and I loved her. There's a lot of detail but read the lecture notes she posts online and go to lecture and you'll do great.

Prof. German was extremely good. She is very organized and puts up lecture notes long before class which is helpful. She want s students to perform well and is very helpful. Her tests are a little hard, but if you read, attend class, and use lecture notes you should do good. I looked forward to her class every day. Great teacher!

Its no professor Tamsin German. She is amazingly easy and chill and flat out cool. Doesn't over exert herself or the material in class. Lets you out early. Gave a take-home exam. Cancelled numerous classes. Very nice and helpful. Take her if you want an easy chill class that she makes interesting with lectures. I took it in the summer

great teacher! tests Q's are straight from lecture-almost word for word. barely used book. got an A. interesting material. study lecture notes and you'll be fine

AMAZING TEACHER!! She explains everything very clearly-flashcards are key-hardly ever read book and was ok-more questions about book on 1st midterm than final-THIS CLASS IS AWESOME!!!!!!

AMAZING teacher! One of the most helpful and understanding profs I've had at UCSB. She really knows her stuff- just attend lecture to follow along with the notes and you will be fine. Very interesting material.

I didnt think she was lame at all. the lectures were very clear and not too hard to follow...and when they were she was really good about going slow and clarifying everything. just talk to her or email her if you need more help..shes really nice.If you make notecards for the lecture slides it is really easy to do well. I did just that and got an A.

I enjoyed the material and never missed a class. The reading is pointless and a waste of time but if you MEMORIZE the notes word for word, you will do well. There is nothing conceptual about this class. I got a B+ and I studied my ass off.

She's willfully ignorant, not to mention spiteful. Everyone thought she was pretty lame.

He's got the best accent, video clips and powerpoint presentations. He writes the midterm and final mostly on lecture (85% of it to be exact). Gives an outlined study sheet a week before the exam... and really knows his stuff. Class was worth my summer. Highly recommended.

This class was most enjoyable. If you are interested in taking a class that delves deeper into coginitive development, this is the class for you. I was intrigued by the learining material every class. German has a great teaching style and make every class worth attending.

I was kind of disappointed by this class, but maybe it's because I'm almost done with the pysch major and the challenge just wasn't there in an intro class. Overall, the class was interesting, but it's more enjoyable if you're a freshman or sophomore psych major.

this class seems easier than it is! Follow along in class...go to lectures! His TA was NOT HELPFULLLLL at all!!! His office hours are also pointless!! be aware..........

He's cool. Go to class, it's not boring, and the test questions come directly from lectures. As long as you don't fall asleep, as long as you pay attention, you WILL get an A on the tests! I promise!

i thought this class should have been more interesting than it was. class is easy enough, but material lags. teacher is good, sometimes confusing, but gets the point across...recommended if you want an easy psych class, not recommended if you want an exciting psych class!

he is very smart and articulate in speaking, very british, his test questions are asked in an articulate way also be prepared to understand what hes asking. he says the word habituation all the time know that term. haha

Amazing teacher! It's well organized and interesting. He knows his stuff, and is really helpful with answering questions. Plus, he knows how to engage college students with modernizing the psych experiments (like using South Park characters!).

This man has AWESOME presentations and is incredibly well organized and prepared for class. He even keeps his presentations online so you can come to class ready for extraneous notes. He has a GREAT attitude and is pretty patient and polite with the two dumbasses who asks dumb questions every class

Easy class, lecture is easy to follow and tests are fairly simple and mostly based on lecture. Highly recommended!!

Dr. German is great. This is the second class that I have had with him. He always has powerpoints on the web before class to print out. His lectures are clear and interesting. I really advise that anyone who is interested in child development to take this class.
