Loveddddddddd Prof. Jaswal. His passion for the subject makes the class very enjoyable/interesting. This class was a big part of why I chose cog sci as my major!

This class is really not that hard if you put in the time and effort. I would recommend reading the textbook as he definitely pulls questions from the text. Pay attention in class, he repeats things that often show up on the tests. Definitely possible to get a B+/A-/A
great class! DO THE EXTRA CREDIT!!! It gave me an A over an A- (helped out about 35 people in the class get a better grade)
My favorite 2000-level Psych class. Professor Jaswal is a truly fantastic lecturer, both engaging and approachable. I highly recommend going to office hours, if you get the opportunity. As for the tests, they were really not that difficult: just pay attention in class and read the book and you'll do great.
Unreasonably hard for relatively easy material. You're even told at the beginning that the tests are made to be intentionally difficult and hard to understand. Don't take unless you have a lot time to study for this class.
Jaswal is one of my all-time Favorite lecturers! Very passionate and entertaining about most topics, and explains concepts extremely well. That said, his tests do require a fair amount of studying; study the book and the lectures and you'll get an A; study just the lectures and you'll probably get a B. His in-class writing "assignments" (for extra credit) were interesting and thought-provoking, and the T.A., Robyn Kondrad, was immensely helpful in her review sessions and office hours. Both were very approachable and friendly, Jaswal slightly more so. Record the lectures!
Fairly easy class if you pay attention in lecture and read the textbook. Lectures can drag a bit but Jaswal does his best to make them interesting.
This class was extra hard. The tests were difficult and it included material that we didnt cover in lectur. Vickram is a good professor but the class is just hard. The best part was the jigsaw puzzle which was still graded harshly.
Not a gpa booster, in fact the opposite!
Great class, great professor. Make sure you read the book!!! He puts questions and concepts on the tests from the book that he did not go over in class. Put in a good amount of effort and receive a good grade.
boring lecture, reading is dry. The best part is the jigsaw puzzle.
