tends to ramble on and eventual you forget what he was talking about or his point. He gives you a take home midterm, but its the hardest take home mid-term ever! He words questions on his test so that you don't understand what excatly it is hes looking for or even asking.
i loved this class. material was great and he was very accessible. just go in and talk to him if you ever have trouble!
i never failed to fall asleep in class
I really liked this class! The lectures are interesting and Gaulin is good at teaching it! He always answers questions in class which shows he's very willing to help. His lectures are online plus there is a take home midterm. I would definitely recommend this class.
He's fairly interesting but has a tendency to speed through the material. The readings are a bit frivolous and tend to include a lot of confusing detail not included in the lecture.

Gaulin is a wonderful professor, his lectures are fascinating and I highly recommend his class.
The truth is, he's not hot, but I just felt like he deserved more points. Gaulin forever!
He is boring. The class is pretty easy to get an A in, if you put in the work, but if another teacher is available for the class, take your chances with them.
lectures are kind of confusing at first, text sort of boring but amazing lecturer. honestly one of the best at ucsb, interesting, engaging, and genuinely nice.
Professor Gaulin is great! he is very enthusiastic about in his lectures and knows what he is talking about. He uses great everyday examples to help students understand the material better! definately recommend!!!
Lectures are very interesting. Beware of some TA's who are extremely hard graders. George is a difficult grader and very particular about 100% accuracy for essays... No partial credit given. Lili is an awesome TA and a much more fair grader. Discussions are very important.
I enjoyed this class. Lots of reading - keep up on it. Print out powerpints in advance. Tests are of average difficulty. Don't miss lectures or sections! They are very important.
For a lower division science class, it was really not that hard & actually quite interesting. The evolution of sexuality was particularly memorable. He likes to explain things very clearly and always asks for questions. Material is pretty straightforward. You shouldn't have too hard of a time.
I changed my major after taking this class.
Gaulin is cool. He's a total corn kernel, but he's hip. He tries to act at our level, says stuff like "shit happens" and is just chill. The class is pretty cool; talks about evolution. Lecture is totally boring tho. He puts all the lectures online tho so its sweet. take this class for a GE for sure
really interesting, friendly, and helpful. you can tell he really loves the subject
Gaulin is one of those profs that is really, really interesting. He makes anthro so awesome to learn. You will learn so much in his class! George Herbst is cool as a TA if you have a chance to be in his section. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS CLASS!
He can be pretty boring. His tests are pretty hard too. He is helpful if and repeats things so everyone can understand. Good, but not great.
Steve Gaulin is a great addition to UCSB. He's extremely knowledgable in the fields he teaches, so if you're unsure about anything don't hesitate to ask. He repeats himself a lot, but don't get frustrated, it's mostly because some people still dont get it
Best class I have taken at my four years here, mostly because of Gaulin.

the material is REALLY interesting. highly recommend this class.
He uses his book as the reading. Just stick to the reading and you will be good. He is one of the best in evolutionary psychology but in his lecture he lets the students answers questions which sometimes take up the whole lecture so just focus on book.
