Selling textbook Comprehending Behavioral Statistics with personal trainer together for $80. Contact me at dian4ig@yandex.ru if interested.

Professor Jaffe seems like a very nice person, he made his lectures fun, but not the best professor. I felt like listening during lecture was more cofusing than not. Do not stress trying to take notes during the class, it won`t be very helpful. Textbook and personal trainer are the only things you need to do well. Do not waste your time on studying presentation slides.

*SELLING REQUIRED BOOK AND ACCESS CODE - $85* (comprehending behavioral statistics, 5th) Text (310) 876-4970
Dr. Adi Jaffe is a great lecturer, but can often go off topic when it comes to teaching the material. His tests are hard, but with constant studying from the book it is possible to get an A. Book (he's using the same one for winter) is REQUIRED (going to class isn't). All tests and quizzes come from the book publisher. Good luck :)

Jaffe is a very inspiring professor but having that been said, his teaching ability is only subpar. His lectures are almost pointless to go to because I didn't really learn from them. I stopped paying attention after the first midterm and started teaching myself instead, which I was doing the whole time anyway. The online tools are a MUST to do well in the class since he doesn't teach well. The last test he put stuff on it that he didn't even try to teach us. I'm not sure if the other professor for this class will be any better but I know that he is the one that writes the tests so maybe he would tell you more of what to study. If you do have to take Jaffe I really recommend going to pretty much every office hour because he teaches way more in them which is frustrating. Best of luck!

Dr. Jaffe is extremely charismatic and one of the most approachable profs I've encountered @ UCLA. Very nice guy! His class is another story. You literally need to teach yourself statistics in order to pass this class. Going to lectures is completely useless because he does not teach anything that will help you grasp the concepts. Many of the people that did well in his class were individuals who had previously taken psych stats at their CC's. His tests are completely conceptual with only 5 out of 50 equations involving actual formula's. Good luck!

Adi Jaffe is an AWESOME professor. I took his class during my first quarter (Fall 2015) and found it to be life changing. The grading is very fair and it is not too difficult to get an A. The class lectures are concise and clear, and he keeps the class interesting with relevant studies that help you further grasp the material. He is also very helpful during office hours so do make sure to attend. My TA was somewhat crappy so I made sure to attend those for further clarification. Psych 100A has been known to be a difficult class to understand (as it is statistics heavy) but Dr. Jaffe makes the class a pleasure to attend. Just make sure you know the formulas and their corresponding applications when taking the exams (that's what the majority of the class missed) and you'll do alright. I would highly recommend taking this class with Dr. Jaffe. Now that I am on the cusp of graduation, I can say that he is hands down one of my favorite professors at this school.

He's a charismatic guy, but he goes over class material a bit too fast paced in my opinion. He required us to purchase tophat, which was essentially the lectures (written by him), and while those helped clarify things a bit, the textbook and the online code/lectlets were absolutely essential for me to even pass the class. I felt like listening to those were what really taught me because I couldn't catch up to what he was saying in class.

Just talks about himself during lecture, not the material. You have to teach yourself the material and tests are hella difficult with confusing info. Professor does not care about students struggle and makes the class unnecessarily harder than other professors, does not curve, exams are very tricky with correct answers so similar to others, math heavy with lots of calculus and you can't use a scientific calculator (the ONLY professor who does not allow this), this professor will RUIN YOUR GPA!!! RUN away if you still can.

Although I got an A, this class was NOT easy. I learned up to z-scores in high school and that was all I knew about stats before taking Psych100A, and that only covered up to the first midterm. There were 2 midterms and 1 final (30% each). The tests were multiple choice and 50 questions in total, roughly 50% of each test were conceptual and the rest were calculations, some of which were quite tricky. The first midterm was easy because it was only about basic topics like mean, median and mode, but the other two exams were pretty challenging. Professor Jaffe went REALLY fast and I'd suggest everyone who's taking his class to read the textbook before coming the lecture. (Winter 2016/17 it was approximately one chapter per one lecture.) I NEVER went to his office hours and I survived, but I heard it was helpful and I'd highly recommend going to his OH if you can. However, I did read every chapter in the textbook and it was really helpful. Anyone who's taking this class should definitely read the textbook for the midterms/final because it helps A LOT especially for the conceptual questions. The workload for this class was light. There was a weekly quiz on CCLE, you got 2 attempts for each (they only counted the highest grade) and the TAs reopened the quizzes after the week was over (so you could practice as many times as you want.) There were also some questions on Tophat modules, which were added after each lecture. These normally took less than 30 minutes and they were NOT graded based on correctness. Both CCLE quizzes and module questions were REALLY helpful for the exams. If you can do the conceptual questions on the quizzes and calculations problems on the modules, you'll likely be fine. The practice problems in the textbook were too complicated, so don't even bother (I never did :/) There was a participation grade for this class, so attending lectures was sort of mandatory. Overall I'd recommend this class for anyone who has taken stats before and/or is willing to read the entire textbook and self-teach yourself a lot of concepts. The exams were actually not too bad, the questions were reasonable and as I've said, as long as you go over the quizzes and modules, you should be fine. Hope this helps! Good luck! :)
