You have to attend lectures or you won't really get the material, even missing 2 classes can get you in some trouble, overall the class is a bit dry, but make sure to read the book thoroughly!definitely helps to study for the midterm/final overall an ok class
I like his lectures, he has a good sense of humor that gets you through it. But his lectures aren't organized so sometimes it's hard to follow with what he's saying. His tests are tricky. Meh.
He's an all right teacher, not the best. His sense of humor helps his lectures out a lot. The class gets better as the quarter goes on. The slideshows aren't organized well, so just write down what he says. Plus, he draws mostly from his lectures to write his exams so it's a good idea to attend them.
The lectures were boring at times even though he tries to be funny. His monotone made me fall asleep sometimes. Heavy textbook use. You basically finished the entire book in one quarter. Lectures slides are mostly pictures and don't have a lot of information, so you would have to attend lectures to take notes.
Dr. Schooler = amazing. I don't know if anyone else has noticed but he's a GREAT walker!!!! He's got the bi-pedal thing down and he makes great voices!!!! Sometimes he even shares a snack he has!
His notes are pretty much incomprehensible and lack structure - just rewrite them yourself. The dryness of the subject and my lack of interest in his lectures resulted in me getting a C+ (I was surprised I even got that!). He is extremely likable and clearly knows his stuff. He's a bit of a babe. Take from that what you will.
Schooler is a great teacher and really loves what he studies. Hs class is tricky but he's sooper di duppery!
BEST BEST BEST teacher at UCSB!!!!! He's a bit silly but super smart. Attend his office hours . . . he seems lonely and has candy!
Awesome class! He's so great!!!!!!!
Not only is Dr. Schooler dreamy, hansome, brilliant and nice, he is the best teacher in the whole world. His strikingly handsome appearance is matched only by his dizzying intellect and he's super cute in a kitten falling off the table sort of way!
I dont know how but i ended up getting an A in this class. The trick i to go to EVERY lecture and just start typing away, and pretty much re-write his notes in your own way becuase his notes make no sence. Take cog psych with it if you have to take that class too, they teach the same thing which is helpful.
Read, discussion and lec. Know the material VERY WELL, and MEMORIZE ALL THE EXPERIMENTS (results, experimenter, significance, even the "cool facts"), then you're fine. Go to lec. bc the slides are just pictures that he bought off the author of the textbook. TAs wrote half the final so go to discussion. Final was really specific!
Your grade will be based on luck. If statistics is on your side, you'll get an a. No matter how much you know, you'll probably get a C
Wow this teacher was horrible. Every question asked started him on a tangent. His lectures were unorganized and the book he chose was boring and didn't even have complete sentences. Do not take this teacher. Ever.
