Review Summary Updated April 07, 2026

This class is practically a guaranteed easy A as long as you keep up with the recorded lectures and strictly follow the posted study guides. The workload is extremely light, built entirely around low-stress take-home exams, short reflections, and straightforward extra credit. While the grading is consistently lenient and the instructor is rated as highly approachable, expect dry, PowerPoint-heavy delivery and be prepared to wrestle with the department's notoriously disorganized research participation pool on your own time. If you want a flexible, no-fuss elective that rewards minimal outside effort with a strong grade, this is absolutely the route to take.

This was Professor MacCormack's first time teaching at UVA and she did a great job. She records every lecture so that the class is more accessible. Exams are taken remotely as to allow students to take the exams in a less stressful environment, which I really liked because I find being crammed into a lecture hall with a bunch of other exam takers is both distracting and stressful for me. Exams make up the most of your final score. But there were also a few reflection assignments and an extra credit assignment, and as long as you follow the prompt, it's easy to get a good grade on those. Overall a great class.

PSYC 2600 with Professor MacCormak was ridiculously easy. The lectures were interesting and they were all recorded. There was no required reading. We had a couple of reflections, surveys, a midterm, and a final. She also offers extra credit to help with your grade. She is also very accommodating and very easily available to answer questions. If she teaches this class again, take her over Mazerik. My friend complained the whole year about how much work his class was, and I was still doing a syllabus quiz at the end of September. We both still got the same content out of the class. I would definitely recommend this class as an easy "A" to help fill your schedule. #tCFfall22

Wonderful class. Interesting content, informative powerpoints, and I loved the structure. MacCormack is a kind, caring professor who you can tell is very interested in what she's teaching. There are 2 exams which are both very easy if you attend or watch the lectures, 2 written reflections of 500 words about any topic we learned that was interesting, and a few surveys for participation. This class was genuinely so interesting and so stress-free. MacCormack is just lovely and I cannot recommend this class more!!!
