Professor Shams is excellent. I took 120B with Kellman in Fall Q, and, well, I'm retaking it. Prof. Shams explains things is a very basic way so that it's much easier to understand these often very abstract concepts. She has an accent, which is only sometimes hard to understand, but I find that it forces me to pay better attention. She is very concerned and is absolutely willing to explain concepts during her office hours. She even held office hours up until the midterm was being taken to explain last minute questions.

The other giant difference between the two courses were the discussion sections and the paper assignment...

In Kellman's class, the paper was a high graduate level article that needed to be critiqued. I had such a hard time even understanding what the paper was about, let alone writing my own paper about it AND designing my own experiment for it. The sections were mandatory with quizzes every week.

Shams' paper was much more digestible, very straight forward, and overall a much more doable assignment - they explained exactly what they were looking for (ex. what's the IV and DV?). The sections were optional without quizzes.

After taking this course with her, I have a much higher level of interest in sensation and perception in general. So if you must take this course, DEFINITELY take it with Shams.
