Prof. Willingham's exams do not test you on the material, I love the material and I believe it's really interesting, but he cannot teach them well. He teaches incomplete ideas, does not focus on the main takeaway and the exams don't make sense. Points are abitrary, DO NOT TAKE ThiS CLASS, whatever interest you had in cognition you will lose it.

DTW is awesome. He loves to joke and have fun and loves what he teaches. The class isn't exactly easy, and even though you'll be tempted to skip out on the lectures- DONT. You will miss too much! Tests are usually 25% of readings as well so you need to do them. He is incredibly helpful if you're struggling but you need to make sure you study because other than a small percent of your grade is participation- the rests are tests!

I am not a psychology major however this class was one of my favorites. The professor is wonderful, funny and very personable. I recommend studying the readings and not underestimating multiple choice tests and definitely recommend taking this course!

Willingham is a really funny guy and a interesting lecturer... that being said, GO TO CLASS, because his exams are heavily based on his lecture material. The book is comprehensive enough but it will not be enough to keep your grade afloat - exams are tricky. Not an easy class, but a good one.

As of now Professor Willingham is my favorite professor here!! Being a psychology major I've taken a lot of psychology classes, and this was definitely hands down my favorite one. Throughout the entire semester I never dealt with the internal battle of whether or not I should skip class or not - I would make sure to make it to every single lecture.

Willingham is a really awesome professor: lectures are always incredibly interesting, and he only posts the graphs/diagrams online so going to lecture is essential. There are 3 midterms and a final, the lowest midterm score is dropped. The exams are all difficult, but they are fair. They ensure that you really do know the material. Willingham is a great guy too and is always good at answering questions- go to his office hours! Reading was a couple hours max a week, but usually not even that much. The subject is really interesting and having Willingham teach it makes it even better- he's hilarious. I definitely recommend this class.

DTW is the bomb dot com. He's a hilarious man and can always make the material more interesting by adding in a couple jokes. This was my first psych class and I really enjoyed it. The tests are difficult, but if you study and know the material well, it will definitely pay off (it did for me).The only work in this class is the readings (about a chapter a week), which can be long, but definitely read them; they make up about 25% of the midterms and final. The material was really interesting and I highly recommend this class as a bit of a break (I'm an astrophysics major).

Professor Willingham is a really interesting lecturer. There are three midterms, the lowest one being dropped. This changes the curve slightly (and the curve is not that big in the first place). There is also a final. All of these take place on Collab, so you can know your grade right away. The tests are tough even after studying, and the only other grade is participation (as measured by iClicker questions). He uses z scores, so you won't know exactly where you stand till the end of the semster. Overall, the tests were rather difficult, but I would still recommend this class for anyone needing a psych class. There is no other work besides reading each week.

Lectures are important. Willingham is the man, I never fell asleep in class. Definitely recommend to anyone.

Willingham's lectures are packed with content, so going to class is essential. I enjoy his lectures (he's humorous and relevant), but sometimes the information seems too detailed or just random. He does have a laptop policy that says you have to sit in the back row if you want to take notes on your computer, but he might change it based off of feedback from this semester. The tests are usually pretty fair, but you definitely have to study.
