This was my first semester at UVa and even thought this is a 4000 level class, it was still relatively easy and enjoyable. He gives small assignments that really don't take long to complete at all, but pads your grade. Pretty easy grader. One midterm and final, I recommend making quizlets. If there is 60 questions, you get a minutes per questions (closed book). Two group projects, but you have 9 people in your group so still, minimal effort, and you spend the first 7 weeks doing verrrry simple research. Pretty fun class. You get points for going to class and he is big on wanting people to participate. There are some prerecorded lectures wire easy embedded quiz questions. He's a very sweet guy who cares a lot about his students. Can't wait to take another course with him. #tCF2020
All the information you need is from his lectures, he is a very engaging and sweet professor who cares about his students. This class is easy A if you do all the small work on canvas, attend lectures, and do your part in the group project which is a website (all of which are very easy). Midterm and final aren't too bad and all the info is from his lectures so take good notes throughout semester and you'll be fine. Loncke is the best love him! #tCF2020
Professor Loncke is a very nice man, and I enjoyed having him as a professor. The class is organized into 10 "modules" where each module is a different psycholinguistics topic (e.g. sound patterns, bilingualism, etc.) The class does not require a lot of work overall. At the beginning of the semester, you sign up for a certain topic (e.g. "ventriloquism" or "extinct languages") and then you work with the other students who also signed up for that topic to do some group work over the course of the semester. Most weeks your only assignment for the course is to make a post related to your topic on the group Canvas discussion forum. The information you and your group find and post in that forum then form the bulk of what you all will eventually present to the class (there will be a presentation and then you have to make a website and then briefly present said website). You also have to watch a few 1-2 hour-long videos/films and take (very quick and easy) quizzes on them. Both the midterm and the final are multiple-choice and not difficult. STUDY THE SLIDES. I often had trouble focusing during lectures, but just studying the slides very well got me an A on both exams. The course material isn't everyone's cup of tea, and some people thought it was a little dry. I, myself, enjoyed it as a cognitive science major. Some of the topics were already familiar to me thanks to other classes I've taken for the major.

This is my third class with Professor Loncke. He is awesome and really passionate about the subjects he teaches. Also takes the time to get to know students and knows an impressive portion of the class by name. This class is pretty easy as long as you stay on track with the assignments and attend class (he does in-class clicker questions for participation points). This semester both the midterm and the final were take home. I did think that the final was tougher than the midterm, but still ended up doing well. The main issue for me in this class was remembering to do the online group discussion. You are supposed to post one contribution to your discussion group each week, with 10 posts giving you a 100. I kept forgetting about it and ended up posting 6 or 7? But got a 90 for the participation grade so I'm not sure how they do scoring for under 10 posts. Overall would definitely recommend this class or any class with Professor Loncke! #tCFF23
