I really enjoyed this class when I took it and I found the material very interesting. There are clicker questions that give you extra points on tests. 4 tests, lowest one gets dropped and a final. Make sure you read the book as 20-30% of her questions on her tests come from the book.

Very cut and dry class. Fairly uninteresting lectures. Easy A.

Overall good class, albeit slightly boring. She is a fair grader, (if not an easy one). Definitely read your textbook and go to class if you want to get an A. Her tests are annoying (multiple choice) because they are of the a, b, c, a and b?, or none of the above format, which seems to test your understanding of the question more than the concepts.

Professor Llewellyn is an incredible professor. Her lectures are engaging and she often includes supplemental information about her past clients and her time spent with a private practice to help make the information clearer. She genuinely cares about her class and is always open to suggestions. One of the few professors at UVA who cares about her students and their success.

The subject could have been interesting but the lectures were so dull it was hard to take away any knowledge. She's very powerpoint based, which can be helpful when you want to remember what you heard in class. There is a disconnect from the tests and the lecture and book information that I couldn't seem to figure out

I took this course in Spring 2009, and from what I've heard not much has changed since then. The material is very dry, and there's nothing to be gained from lecture that you can't find in the book or the powerpoints. If you took AP Psych in high school, you will know all of the material already. I thought the class was pretty easy, though, so if you need to fill a requirement this class is okay. Otherwise, avoid.

I took this class because I thought it was going to be more about analyzing the "why/how" behind personality in people, but it ended up being more about the history of psychologists who studied personality and made theories about it. Also, you learn quite a bit about the research methods used by the personality psychologists. This class was extremely easy for me because I had taken psych in high school and I like psych very much. There were many people who had never taken a psych class before, though, and they sometimes had trouble grasping the concepts of the theories... but the professor explains everyone very clearly and makes it easy for anyone to understand. Don't listen to people who tell you it's super hard. It's not. My friends thought it was hard. It's because they never read the textbook. This class is very manageable. It's only a problem when you don't read the textbook before class. Then you will have no idea what the clickers are about, and you won't get enough participation points to get an A. Beware that the reading takes much longer than expected. The textbook is very... dull.

Prof L is a therapist on the side... she has a clinic... so in lecture, she speaks like one. It's very soothing and very relaxing.
She is a very kind person and very approachable.

The social-cognitive unit was the most interesting part. Go to lecture. And don't forget to bring your iclicker remote!
Psych students... take this class if you want a relatively easy class, because most of the concepts and theories you'll already know. You'll still have to read the book - there are lots of details that she covers in the exams.

she is really nice and you get to drop one of your test grades. clicker questions are pretty easy and they can become extra credit if you do enough. the class itself is not so interesting though

Llewellyn has some great stories and her tests are pretty easy.

This class was pretty interesting and overall easy. The textbook she used wasn't hard reading which was nice. She makes really obvious hints during lecture on what you need to study for on the exams. Participation and extra credit on exams are based on answering iclicker questions correctly.
