this class seems interesting at first and its material might be, but his tests are stupid hard. he makes the hardest exams he can think of and they are from readings and lectures (i think the class average was 75 and 80 on the first two) this class is a gpa reducer

Very easy, interesting, and applicable in life. It really gets you thinking about psychology in everyday life.

The textbook for this class is very dense and hard to get through. There is a lot of reading and Jaswal assigns articles in addition to it. However if you actually do read, take decent notes, and study, it's really not all that bad. Jaswal by the way is so into teaching the class, it's hard not to pay attention.

The class can get really boring sometimes.. Interesting material, but his tests are hard. Just know his slides really well and you'll get a B for sure

Class was very interesting. Professor Jaswal is a very nice guy and tries to explain the material but the class might be more worth your time if taken with Professor Willingham, since he wrote the book. It is a pretty straightforward class and has only one very small paper at the end. He also drops one midterm.

Good psyc class. I really enjoyed it (although it was kinda hard) Interesting topics such as perception, visual imagery, language and memory. But, to get an A in this class, you really have to work hard. Tests are just multiple choice, but sometimes a bit confusing. Just some advice: i think if you want to do well in this course, you really have to integrate notes from the lectures, readings and your class notes. Also, GO TO REVIEW SECTIONS!!! It really helps a lot. Plus, the TA is SOOO AWESOME. She's super nice, and approachable. I always emailed her when i had a question and she always answered. And, just follow Prof. Jaswal's and the TA's advice about how to study (they give you lots of tips). They really want to help you and make sure you get a good grade. I recommend this class for anyone who wants to take a good intro course to psyc but someone who doesn't mind putting in a little more effort than usual.

Good psych class. Lectures are very organized and easy to follow. Jaswal knows his stuff and presents it a very good way. Often spices up the slides with videos and some occasional humor. Three multiple choice midterms (worst score is dropped) that are pretty easy, a 1 page paper and a final. A good, low-stress psychology class.

Read the book and make sure to go to the review sessions cause they help a lot and they let you know where the test is aiming at.
