he funny and shit

(serious note: this class is very easy and engaging i enjoyed it)

This was my first stats class at UCLA and I was so nervous about it. But to my surprise, I really enjoyed it and learned oodles of useful information. Professor Trott is absolutely amazing. He is very good at breaking down complex concepts and cares about his students. As long as you pay attention during lecture and take good notes from the textbook, the class should go swimmingly. I would also highly recommend going to office hours. There was also lab sessions where we went over basic stats software in jamovi. Attendance was not mandatory but I defo recommend going because it is quite interesting. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by how enjoyable this class was. Yes, you do need to study but it was quite manageable and Trott was more than happy to help. Trott is amazing :)

so glad professor trott's bruinwalk profile was updated so i can encourage every interested student to take his class. i think there are very few professors at ucla who are both insanely smart and also kind about it but professor trott is definitely both. i went into this class with 0 knowledge of statistics and he always found a way to explain things to me and i am forever grateful. he's very sweet and wants you to do well!!!! the tests are very manageable, there are weekly quizzes that are simple as long as you review the material. he also offers practice quizzes that aren't mandatory but very helpful for understanding! and study questions at the end of lectures that are also super helpful. if you're nervous to take a stats class like i was, i highly recommend going to office hours as well! he will never make you feel stupid for asking a million questions and will reword concepts for you until you get it. i can't recommend him enough!!!!

i took 100a with trott, which i found to be pretty easy and was excited to take another course with trott again. from the beginning of this course, trott made sure we were aware that this class is difficult and that we would truly have to put the work in to receive an A. he was definitely right - this class has some pretty abstract concepts that you genuinely have to sit with in order to grasp! i believe the class avg for the first midterm was a C (?) and the second midterm and final were Bs. what helped me get an A in the class was rewatching lectures, and taking very detailed notes (i would write down the majority of what he would say in class!).

though some concepts are tricky, trott genuinely is such an entertaining and fun lecturer, and the class material is quite interesting. you can tell he really cares about the students learning and making sure lectures are engaging. overall, i would recommend this class to people who are willing to put the work in! i learned a lot and would love to take a class with trott again (probably an easier course though lol)

He is one of the best professors I have ever taken! Take him if you can, he is so clear and helpful, I was scared to take this class, but he made it so easy to understand. He's super funny and approachable too!

Trott is my favorite professor. If he teaches a class, just go ahead and take it.
He is understanding, patient, and if you care to build a bond with him he will do the same.
Psych 118 with him was the move. 3 exams each 25%, not cumulative, 15% assignments (x2) , 10% weekly summaries. The class is definitely loaded with content, but all I can recommend is paying attention in class. That is really all you need to do to understand-- listen and ask questions in class (he always happily answers them).

Take this class! It was tough, but it was worth it.

I am selling my notes for this class, contact me at ********** if interested.

I also sell notes for LS7C, LS7B, LS7A, Psych 120A, Psych 115, Psych 110, Psych 119Y, Psych 127A, and Psych 10.

Really interesting orator. He's great at making difficult concepts more digestible and making the material more engaging. Would really recommend if you have to take 110. Everything in his class is fair, tests aren't trying to trick you, you get what you deserve and what you put in. Overall 10/10

As a psych major Trott is 100% my fav professor at UCLA. He is very smart and explains concepts very clearly, his slides are great, the assigments are always helpful for understanding content, and the content is interesting. I have taken 4 classes with him in the 2 years I was at UCLA and I cannot recommend his classes more. I also took 100A, 110, and 115 (over the summer online) with him.

I would recommend anyone who has to take psych 110 to take it with Professor Trott.
Firstly, the lectures are very engaging, and have summary slides that are very helpful. They are also recorded, though I usually chose to attend in person.
The weekly summary assignments are a wonderful way to have reviewing material be rewarded, and I was thankful for the multiple choice non-graded quizzes that were provided to review and test independently.
The only thing that was unfortunate was not being able to go back and forth between questions on the exams—I often like to check my answers at the end.
However, I understand it is to make sure that no one cheats.
I was able to learn about so many studies and found the psychology of learning to be really interesting. The material is taught in a digestible way; and the professor was always to answer any questions from students through in class questions or online discussion questions.
All in all, I really gained a lot from this class—of course the professor teaching about learning is good at making sure that we do in fact learn!

Oh also the textbook is not required reading, I didn't find it too helpful.
