His lectures were clear to an extent, sometimes they were ambiguous. The class would have been much better if he utilized lecture slides, but instead he sits there and talks for 50 minutes straight. Your grade depends on one final exam. I wrote everything he said down and took detailed notes but still did awful on the test. Take at your own risk

Klein is very intelligent and funny, often goes on interesting tangents. Content is complex and philosophical but explained well, and he encourages questions. Lecture only, no slides/study guides. Graded on 1 multiplechoice final, and only curves the class up. I never used the reader, most is covered in class. Interesting stuff, I highly recommend!

The first time I took one of his classes, I didn't appreciate him and I got angry at some of the things he said about psychology. A year later, after taking many psychology courses, I've realized he's right about the things he says and I can really appreciate having his class this time. Truly inspirational, one of the greatest lecturers at UCSB.

Stan is the best professor I've had at UCSB. Take. His. Classes. All of them. You will never have another professor like him. As soon as he opens his mouth you can tell he's brilliant. Don't be intimidated; his exams are very fair. I've taken all of his classes and he has had a huge impact on my entire experience at UCSB.

FAVORITE LECTURER AT UCSB. TAKE HIS COURSES: THE SELF, MEMORY, AND SPECIAL TOPICS. HE HAS A GIFT AND HAS BEEN AN IRREPLACEABLE PART OF MY UCSB EXPERIENCE. YOU WILL NOT REGRET TAKING IS COURSE.

What a guy. When this guy lectures, I often sit there in awe. He's so informal and pretty funny. He really knows what he's talking about. He reiterates his points so much, that it will really stick. I never had to study outside of class because of this and received an A-. He tells you when to take notes and when he's on a tangent. He loves pepsi.

He is brilliant but I just wasn't a fan of the course. If you don't like philosophy avoid this class. This class felt more like philosophy than psychology. Its not difficult material but he tends to go on tangents and uses very circular arguments. Not the class for people who need clear and formulaic answers. Asks questions and provides no answers

Stan is an amazing man. Stan questions the very basics of psychology and willing to share with his students the essence of his thinking. Besides lecture, Stan is a great writer as well. His paper is so well organized and keen sighted. Reading his paper is truly an enjoyment.

Honestly, this man is phenomenal. Soooo so so very intelligent, so passionate, so thoughtful. He really urges all his students to not get bogged down on the unnecessary nonsense and to think for themselves. He gives you the facts and why we should question everything. My favorite professor of all time, you wont regret hearing what he has to say.

Stanley Klein is a genius, plain and simple. He is a brilliant mind and really motivates students to THINK and QUESTION all that is said and done with the world. Listen and absorb every word he says because there's a purpose behind everything he lectures. You will not regret being in this class.

Klein offers a fresh perspective on the field of brain science that few other PBS profs do. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the topics he covers and his passion for this knowledge is inspiring. The class itself is graded simply on a midterm and final exam. I can't recommend taking a class from Klein enough - it is an experience like no other.

the class is made up of midterm and final. you have to buy an expensive book he wrote. lectures are informative and entertaining, he normally ends class early. he'll lyk what will be on the exams, questions are straight to the point as long as you study you will do good. I didn't read the book and still got an A but recommend doing the readings

he doesn't post lecture slides and makes you buy a really expensive textbook he wrote. lectures were entertaining and never lasted the entire 3 hours. he lets you know what will be on the exams. exams are easy and straight to the point so as long as you study you should do fine. i never read the readings and got an A- but I would recommend reading

I get why some people wouldn't like his lecture style, but I really enjoyed it. Class once a week, no mike, no slides, just lecturing - sounds intimidating, but I promise it's not. Your grade is only based on two exams, but the class isn't super dense w/ material - if you go to lecture and study, it's fine. Klein is a prof I'll remember for a while

I really enjoyed this class and the way it was taught. Lecture was once a week and varied anywhere from 1 hr - 2.5 hrs. Prof makes it clear what is needed to succeed in his class and is very straightforward. He is visibly passionate about the material and about teaching, making class enjoyable. Definitely recommend!

I was definitely intimidated going into this class bc I knew it was only a midterm and a final and he would lecture for 3 hours, but it actually was not bad at all. His lectures are easy to follow along and his tests are pretty easy as long as you know the material. I would say you don't NEED the book bc he goes over most of what you need to know.

Taking the word lecture to the literal meaning, he sits and he talks. There are no online notes or any notes of any kind, you have to write your own. One three-hour lecture a week that goes over basically the same thing but with different perspectives makes this an easy class if you can understand the underlying messages.

His exams are the type where multiple of the answer choices may be the correct choice. Many of the Qs are from his textbook, basically what he lectures, and they're very specific. More of a philosophical approach merged with studies.

Stan gets some hate because he doesn't lecture like other professors, but I learned more in this class than I've learned in any other psych classes. He is very intelligent and knows the material super well. He doesn't use slides so you have to show up to class. He makes you critically think, but his tests are easy if you pay attention in class.

Klein is a very nice guy and this class was super interesting. I plan on taking another class of his in the fall. My biggest complaint would be that there is only one midterm and one final that determine your grade. Additionally, you are required to pay over $100 for the textbook and the textbook is very dense and a bit confusing.

One of the most intelligent professors ive ever had, just pay attention and study lectures and you'll be fine. he's really a pioneer in the field and i appreciated him and the class a lot

Klein doesn't use any lecture slides, so you have to go to class and listen to what he says and just write it all down. I was nervous about this at first but it wasn't bad AT ALL. The class was 40% midterm and 60% final, both MC exams. Mix of material from lecture and from the textbook. If you just study, exams are really straightforward. LOVE HIM!

He is an intelligent man who knows every answer to your question. There are no recorded lectures but if you attend his lectures, you will learn the material just fine. The class consists of only one midterm and final. He was very understanding about the situation regarding the strike.

Klein genuinely cares so much about his students. He prepares us to be intelligent consumers of information. He emphasizes questioning the information that we are given and encourages us to challenge things we don't agree with. I found myself looking forward to attending lectures, and the lack of technology used in the course was very refreshing.
