Really interesting topics. This was a good break from the broad scope of intro psyc and gives you a good perspective into how people really think. The only annoying part of this class was the two papers you had to write (I'm a perfectionist so I was constantly going to office hours to get them right). Other than that you have online tests which are the greatest thing in the world, and the final is non-cumulative. Wilson will make you laugh, too, and his slides are vague so going to lecture would probably be the best thing to do.

Interesting class althoug Wilson is a bit monotoned and lecture seems hard to go to sometimes. Three exams and two papers. Not a hard course
GREAT class! Loved Wilson, amazing professor, you so much in this class and actually look forward to lecture every week! 3 midterms and two short paper, midterms are online and pretty fair... not super easy as many say, but if you do your reading and ATTEND LECTURES, it's not hard to get an A... the two papers can be tricky, but getting help from TAs and making sure you follow instructions exactly will probably ensure a good grade as well. Definitely one of the best classes at UVa! Also, Cheryl Hahn was a great TA, she knew her concepts well and made it relatively easy to understand any confusing points.
worst class at uva so far. wanted to major in psychology and this class discouraged me from taking any other psychology classes at uva
Definitely a relatively easy class and easy/fair grading of the two papers you have to write.
If you take PSYC 2600, definitely take the optional discussion section (with Hahn if possible). It is interesting and an easy A.
Very enjoyable class, however it's necessary to read the textbook and to know the terms well come test time.
Great, easy class, especially if you're a psych major. Wilson is a really nice, fair person, and he does his best to make lecture interactive and entertaining. It's not necessarily worthwhile because of the material taught, but it's interesting enough and certainly easy.
Awesome class. Really easy if you do the readings and look at the slides before tests. Papers are graded really easily (I got a 100 on both and they weren't that good).
Great class. Wilson is a good lecturer and he puts his slides online. If you read the book and know the terms the class is fairly easy.
Interesting class. Read the book and look over the slides before the tests and you'll be fine.
