Go to class! It isn't mandatory but he tells you info that will be on the exams that isn't in the book. In my opinion you didn't need to read the book if you took good notes in class. The class is graded on 3 exams. Go to class the day he hands back the exams because he has an extra credit quiz after you go through it.

In general, Travis is a good professor and a humorous guy whose lectures can be very engaging. But I think he is so well versed in some areas of psych that he is unable to slow down and simplify things for struggling students. Not enough opportunities for points outside of exams, so if you don't test well your grade will suffer.
