PSYC 1010

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.

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.

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.

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.

AMAZING!!! Take this class with Nosek.

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!!!!

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.

Interesting class, but a lot of info.

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!)
