PSYC 1010

he's awesome. he's the reason i became a psyc major

Prof. Nosek is one of the best and funniest lecturers I have ever had. He single-handedly won me over to Psychology. At one point he was illustrating an altruism study where some condfederate would pretend to have an accident so the experimenter could see how many people helped/who helped, etc. and he literally acted this out and ran into a table and fell on the floor. If you are going to take Psyc 101, take it with this guy.

Nosek is an amazing lecturer and really cares about his students. The class isn't quite as easy as people might think because there is a lot of material to get through. His tests were straightforward with the occasional tricky question - definitely manageable though. Do the reading, go to lecture (or read the TA's lecture notes, but Nosek is definitely worth listening to) and you'll get an A.

Interesting class, reading is important and there is a tonne of it. Tests are a little confusing but if you know the material, you will do well. Alot of information to take in for this class.

A lot of material (as expected for Intro class), but the prof. is interested in helping everyone do well. Just go to class and read the textbook. (If you save the reading to just before the exams, give yourself a week to catch up!)

Interesting class, but a lot of info.

Nosek is awesome. Three midterms and a final, all counting for the same percentage of the final grade. Tests require information from lectures (which are well-prepared and interesting) and from the textbook readings.

I would take Brian every semester if I could! My favorite professor so far at UVA. He is passionate about the material and dedicated to helping his students understand and succeed. He is very fair about grading, and even though you can easily skip lecture because the TA's post such thorough notes online, you wouldn't want to miss it because he keeps it entertaining and lighthearted and overall really contributes to your understanding of the material. Very highly recommend!!!!

AMAZING!!! Take this class with Nosek.

Nosek is a very entertaining teacher. He shows awesome videos and is really funny. However, his tests are really hard and tricky so you really need to know everything.

The tests did not fit what was taught in lecture and in the reading. They were oddly worded and very difficult. It is not worth the effort for such a little return.

One of the best professors there is; very approachable and fair grading. Tests require quite a bit of reading, but the TA's notes helped tremendously and Nosek is a great lecturer.

I enjoyed this class and Prof. Nosek. He is a good lecturer and class is mostly enjoyable. He assigns a good amount of reading and some of the test questions are worded oddly, but he takes notice of this and curves the tests/class. I put a small to decent amount of effort into the class and got a b. Good class if you need it and the basics of pysch are interesting and useful for most things in life.

Interesting class - lectures were fun - READ READ READ the chapters and do the focus questions... it will help you tremendously because the tests are not simply definitions; most of the questions are applied critical thinking so you have to have a good grasp of every concept we read whether or not he discusses it in lecture. I think he said about 30% of test questions come from the book (which he does not cover in class). Great professor, difficult tests, fun class if you're up for it.

Professor Nosek is a great lecturer and really makes the class interesting if your really enjoy psychology. I, however, through taking this class discovered i hated psychology because his class involved A LOT of reading and coming to every lecture is a must. Tests are very tricky but go to his office hours at the beginning and he will give you great study tips.

Go and talk to him at the beginning of the semester. He is definely there to help students. He provides study tips that can be used for every class.

really enjoyable lectures

Fun class! Exams were tricky but if you read the book and attend class, you should be fine.

what a waste of my time and 3 credits. he thinks he is cool but is not. Sure, an easy A, but I couldhave taken a more enlightening class. the tests are not easy though. overall, i dont recommend.

Very interesting class to take to get a good understanding of basic psychology concepts. Nosek is an entertaining and for the most part funny lecturer. The exams cover a lot of material.

Prof. Nosek is a good teacher. He is engaging during lecture. The tests are tricky though b/c they're based on both the book and lecture. In addition, 101 is a broad intro course, so you have to know lots of stuff.

It is a lot of reading and the tests can be difficult but Professor Nosek is the funniest lecturer I have ever had. He definitely makes the class-don't take 101 with anyone else!!

professor nosek is a great lecturer. his was one of the few classes i looked forward to going to. the information was interesting and he always made the class fun. breaks the info down pretty well, though i wish he emphasized more on what was really important. the exams were kinda hard, though i ended up doing the best on the final.

Nosek is a great lecturer and makes class fun! Always played music before class and sometimes showed videos! The tests are hard though, and often tried to trick you.
