2 short papers (2 pages each) and 3 multiple choice tests (no cumulative final). Go to class, read the textbook, pretty easy.

Pretty easy if you go to lectures, keep up with the reading, and study a decent amount

Wilson is great. I love psychology, but even if you don't it's a very interesting class. I kind of feel like Professor Wilson's voice sounds a bit like a Sesame Street character, but you get used to it and it doesn't detract from what a good teacher he is. He wrote the textbook that's used in class, but it's not for profit- he donates all his royalties to a charity of the students' choice. It's a good book written in a conversational tone that's easy to get into. Go to lectures- they're based on the book, but he adds other information to it and doesn't just follow it blindly. Even if you're not interested in learning the additional material, class is often funny- Wilson makes jokes often and makes a point of having videos to show the class every day from Candid Camera (kind of the original Punk'd) to commercials to TV shows to everything in between. Wilson doesn't assign too much work, but be careful of his essays- they're very, very specific on tiny details and formatting, and they'll get you for mistakes. Highly recommended class, great professor and interesting material- very enjoyable overall.

Take this class with WIlson. Extremely interesting, not too difficult, and the information is super useful and applicable. Easily one of the best classes, and teachers at UVA. Even the book is fun to read.

I loved this psyc course. It's not difficult at all as long as you pay attention in class and maybe do some light reading. Last semester we were able to take our tests online through Collab, starting anywhere and anytime between 9am and midnight the day of the test. This was super convenient. Don't be tempted to cheat! It'd probably slow you down to go through your notes/textbook with 75 minutes on the clock anyway. Take this class if you're interested in psychology, and even if you're not!!

my favorite teacher and class so far..he's hilarious and i actually enjoyed class because it was soo interesting! Discussion was optional (1 credit course), but very worthwhile and basically no work! Only take this class with him!

Awesome lectures and tests are not that hard. You have 2 short essays...just follow instructions and those are easy As.

Professor Wilson is awesome! Definitely do the reading, but class isn't always a necessity, he posts all slides online. Tests can be tricky, but the final isn't cumulative, which was great. This class was pretty laid back and interesting, I definitely recommend it.

Fun lecture and class- but tests are REALLY tricky, and the points taken off of papers graded is ridiculous at times. If you take this class- take the extra credit discussion- very easy and will correlate with lectures.

Fantastic class! Wilson might not have the most dramatic voice, but he is entertaining and smart. He knows his stuff, and you will learn social psychology very-well.
The three tests are a breeze if you review the lecture notes and book, and the papers are graded ridiculously easily. Great elective to take!
