Trott is honestly my favorite professor at UCLA. He is very knowledgeable on the material and very concerned with student understanding. You can tell he is really passionate about the material he teaches and that passion is infectious. His lectures were always engaging and he was always happy to answer questions, both in lecture and office hours. The readings could be a little long but they were worth it in my opinion.

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.

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.
