EDHS 4300

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

Amazing class. Professor is passionate and cares about us and our learning. Grade is comprised on a midterm, final, participation, and some little assignments here and there. Easy A if you go to class and study for the exams.

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

Professor Loncke is a wonderful professor, and it's clear that he enjoys teaching. He is somewhat monotone, and the class can feel really long (especially when I took it from 5-6:15). We were assigned to groups at the beginning of the semester based on a question we wanted to write discussion posts about. There are 10 discussion posts due on Sundays, but you can choose which Sundays as long as 10 of them get done. The grade is mostly projects and a few assignments that are scattered throughout the semester. All the due dates are in the syllabus, but it got confusing since not everyone's assignments are due at the same time, and your due dates depend on the group you're in. There is also a midterm and a final. The midterm was really straightforward. The final was 100 questions, 20 of which were pulled from a group assignment where we made multiple-choice questions. Those 20 questions ended up being easy, but I was not able to read every group's project (as there were 15) and memorize their content for the exam, so I was worried. The final, I thought, was harder than the midterm, but not hard. This class is an easy A, but you need to do the assignments because if you forget or start to accumulate lower grades, it will pull your grade down. Attendance is mandatory because Prof Loncke uses PollEv, and it counts towards your grade, but I think he is pretty flexible about having to miss class. Overall, I would recommend this class if you are interested in the subject because Professor Loncke is so sweet, but if this isn't your thing, it gets boring.
