Dr. Stahlman is awesome!! I took him for Psych 110. Also, don't blame your grade on the professor. I got an A. Went to lecture sometimes, most times listened to him on podcast. You can't expect to get an A simply by going to lecture... it's UCLA.. your grade is determined by how much you understand the material (which he does a great job of explaining btw). If you do the weekly readings, try to understand the lecture when he explains it, and then put in a few hours before the test for STUDYING the slides and skimming the book again (i literally did this the night before the exam), then you should be set. Only thing I recommend is to read the exam questions carefully .. one word can change things a lot.. and a lot of my friensd assumed they knew what he was asking, so they skimmed the question and went straight to the answers and that was not a good idea. GO to the office hours. i never did. but whoever did go said he was nice about it.

DO read the book. It really does help and he also pulls three or four questions out of there per exam. He's really nice and his exams are fair. He explains the material very well and he posted slides for each lecture. There were three multiple choice exams (noncumulative!!) and worth the same amount. One of these exams is your 'final' exam but is pretty much a third midterm. There are also 6 quizzes in section and the lowest is dropped.

I hope he teaches 118 so that I can take it with him!
