PSY5 . Giesbrecht B 2 Months Ago

Had him for PSY 164BG active brain. He grades based on 2 things: Midterm and Final. attend lectures, study studies and the lectures he provided, midterm not too difficult but definitely study. Lectures are clear and learn to study well for you and you'll be ok!

PSY118L . Giesbrecht B 2 Years Ago

Keiflin's lab grade is made up of weekly group assignments for the research project, open-book midterm, presentation, and research paper. A very fair grader and there is a lot of support from the TAs and Professor Giesbrecht if you want it. Overall, it was a more challenging lab course (compared to others) because of the topic, but very rewarding.

PSY118L . Giesbrecht B 6 Years Ago

One of the true gems at UCSB and specifically in the psychology department. Makes everything incredibly clear and is also funny, compassionate, and truly knowledgeable about psychology methods in research. I would take him for 10 more classes if I could, no matter the subject.

120L . Giesbrecht B 6 Years Ago

He's a super nice and approachable professor. I took him for lab in the winter and he always made sure to convey class information very clearly. You get to design your own experiment with your group so attendance is pretty much mandatory. One lab report, one short final on key terms. TA's are super helpful. Would take again.

The material was really hard. Giesbrecht was clear, but at the end of the week I always had to read the textbook to fully understand the material. Section is optional. 1-2 hours of homework a week.
