just go to the reviews with a laptop. copy EVERYTHING down. study everything given on the reviews with flashcards. chances are, you will be able to get by answering 4/6 questions with just the information from the reviews alone. lectures are great. readings aren't that bad. overall, this class was super. i managed to pull an A- i would recommend it

Extremely interesting material covered and the lectures are truly entertainment-but you MUST study! Who ever thought a class about SEX would be so hard? I didnt, but you learn quickly what the format is, and you can go off that for the remaining tests.

I liked everything about this class except for the midterms. There is no reason to make sex midterms so hard. I would rather hook up a car battery to my testicles than retake the 3rd midterm.

Very interesting class, these teachers are straight up crazy & its amazing that they actually found each other & got married! lectures must be seen to be believed !but you MUST study & do the reading bc the tests are pretty difficult, but i studied & got an A, but if def wasnt an easy A

TEST FORMAT:6 multiple choice,5Choose4 Short Answer Essays.If YOU CAN GET URSELF 2 READ, and can REMEMBERwhat you read,u will do good on the tests. Short answer questions say things like, "What is depo-provera." Well, if u read the reading ucan easily answer.THEY TELLU EXACT PAGES ONTEST. JUST READ!

This class was very interesting and enjoyable to go to. The tests are very easy if you do the reading and go the review sessions. The class is only an hour and it goes by really fast. There are 3 midterms, but they are very flexible if you need to make up one.

They're nice people. But it is a hard class. I liked the subjects and there is no way you fall asleep in lecute, cuz the topic is just interesting and they're funny. But the midterms and the final are very hard. I took it p/not pass and I passed with a C-. It is NO easy A !!! you have to study !!

Absolutely loved the class and lectures...very interesting topic. Everyone should have to take this class. However, midterms and the final were difficult...make sure you read and go over lecture notes. They also like to throw in Q's from lecture...so go. All in all, loved the Baldwin's & the class.

The Baldwins are two of the best teachers I've had at UCSB. I thoroughly enjoyed their lectures, and I got to know them personally in 152B. They are great people and they truly care about their students' learning. Tests are difficult, but the subject is very interesting.

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

Great teacher and an amazing speaker(you can count his mistakes on one hand). However, he requires us to memorize little inane details from past lectures that really aren't important. However, overall my experience with him was beneficial and you should take his class if your soc. major.

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.

Enthusiastic about subjects, tests are detailed, all of his classes have the same format- if you like his style take his other classes, tests are mainly about spitting out factual information but you study it so much that you remember the information after the class is over, keeps you entertained

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.
