"Dating 101" is an overall easy and fun class, Wilson provides occasional quirps but it can be easy to fall asleep especially given it's probably at the end of your long Tuesday/Thursday. Exams fair, but some questions can be tricky. Opportunity for extra credit iClicker points if you do the readings before each class, but sometimes these clicker questions can get tricky too.

Wilson is the best to take for social psych. He wrote the book and he knows what he's talking about. Also, he shows awesome video clips (like Friends and Candid Camera)

Great class with a great professor. Make sure to take this class with Tim Wilson, since he was one of the co-authors of the textbook and a great lecturer. Lectures are fun and very informative and section can be interesting as well. There's a reason it's one of the most popular classes at UVA. As long as you keep up with the reading and do the work, you should do well in this class.

Hands down the best class I have taken at UVA. Wilson is adorable and is a very interesting teacher. If you have a chance to take this TAKE IT. The TAs grade a little harshly but it you do well on exams which come directly from lectures and the book (which is interesting to read) you are guaranteed an A-.

this is a fun class, but it's not necessarily the best. all the material is very interesting and applicable to daily life, but the pace of class is very slow and not all that intellectually stimulating. also, the discussion sections are nothing great, only good for the experiments you do in them...overall its worth taking, but its not truly the best class if you want a real challenge
