I would have to say that out of all of the classes I took at UCLA...I hated this and 100B the most. Lecture was so boring that I had to fight myself to stay awake. Professor Stanton is such a hard grader! I usually get all As but I got a C+ in her class!!! The grading on the paper was totally unfair and when I brought it to her attention (and the TA) they did not do anything about it. Do not take this class unless you really really need a Psych elective. Take it with Robles instead...I heard he is really awesome.

Dr. Stanton is an AMAZING professor and an incredible person. Also, she's president of APA Division 38, Health Psychology, which means she definitely knows what she is talking about. Her lectures were informative yet entertaining, and always effectively delivered (if a little rushed at points - but that was only because she always stopped to answer questions). To get an A, you need to attend every lecture as well as read the book (knowing the main concepts of each subsection should suffice). She definitely includes some minutiae on the exams, but in general they are very fair. I would also suggest being very thorough in your paper; for instance, if you do the health behavior change, be sure to mention specific steps you took at the start and continue with detail all the way through your relapse prevention techniques. Basically, if you put in the work, you will be rewarded in this class - and it is a privilege to take it with her!
