PSYC 2150

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.

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!

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.

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.

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)

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

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!

I LOVE Jaswal! He's a wonderful and sweet professor. Honestly, and the material is SOOO interesting! The only thing is, the exams are designed to be difficult and that they are! I would definitely go see him or the TA for office hours. Go to all the review sessions!
It's not impossible to do well in this class but you should also be prepared to put in the effort.

Loooved this class. One of the best classes I've taken at UVA. It's so interesting! And Jaswal is really nice. He genuinely cares about his students. I got a 100 on one of the tests (which was crazy), and he took the time to personally e-mail me to congratulate me, which I thought was wonderful in a big class. I got an A- in the end. If you take the time to study, the tests are fairly straight forward and you should do well.

Interesting class, vikram is a fantastic lecturer. Take this class!
