Great teacher, he is very enthusiastic and some lectures are very interactive to help his students grasp the subject. The reading is not that bad, a couple of articles and about one chapter per class. Tests were fine as long as you study all the lecture notes and go through the book.

Jaswal's a great guy who loves the subject, but his tests can be pretty hard. Make sure to read the book and go to all of the lectures.
Great professor who clearly loves this topic! Uses lots of interactive examples to help students understand concepts. Some questions on his tests can be somewhat tricky and the textbook is a little on the dry, boring side but if you do the work you can definitely do well
Great class. Prof. Jaswal has very organized lectures and the material is interesting. Tests can be a little tricky but if you work hard at it it'll show. Also you can use a cheat sheet for the final.
Boring at times, but sometimes has throws in some interactive parts to his lectures to make it interesting. Overall, one of the easiest courses I've taken. Focus on his lectures and you should be fine on the test!
Professor Jaswall is very prepared and his lectures are very straightforward. The tests are hard but one is dropped. He is very nice and the material is dry at times but Jaswall keeps it interesting.
Class is very fun w/ demos and movies. His tests are HARD. He's big on application, not just memorization. But hes an extremely nice guy and genuinely interested in all of his students (he's also fond of his cat and niece who youll hear alot about).
Jaswal is pretty enthusiastic about the topics. Classes are taught with powerpoints; grades are from midterms and finals. Pop-written assignments in class help borderline grades, and he offers extra credit by going to psych lectures.
Jaswal's a pretty good teacher- lectures were less than dynamic but were straightfoward and prepared you for the tests. Tests are all multiple choice- not too challenging.
Prof. Jaswal is very nice, but the reading is dense and sometimes so is the material. He takes teaching very seriously and tries to make it fun. Take the class only if you're already interested in cognition and you will like it much more, though,
