This class is the reason I'm a Psych major. I found the information (though slow at times) to be so interesting and different! Definitely a new field in psychology so a lot of the research is from the mid 1900's and feels extremely relevant to our lives today. Yes, the papers are graded a little tough, yes, the tests have a few tricky question but who cares if you're learning about cool stuff. Take this class for a fresh perspective on social psychology and for an engaging experience during lecture! Also, take discussion with Allyson Selby if you can. She's awesome!

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

was a great course, would be enjoyable even to non-majors. not too much work, the tests aren't bad and would recommend!

VERY FUN CLASS!

Best class this semester! Enjoyable lectures and interesting material. Discussions were fun and productive, too.

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.

Definitely the best class I have taken at UVA since it was the most interesting and not too complicated...only thing that is hard are the papers...they grade HARD...write well...overall it was pretty easy course

this is a great class especially because it was 4 credits this semester. prof wilson is an excellent lecturer who has well organized power point presentations every class. he really knows his stuff and was co-author of the textbook

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)
