PSYC 2200

This class is actually not that bad IF you take it as a premed during your last years at UVA in conjunction with anatomy or having already taken anatomy (sometimes I saw the same questions appear on both Hill's exams and Kopeny's exams). I had already learned about 75% of the material in this class due to having already taken intro bio, biochem, and anatomy so if you are a pre med psych major or thinking of being one, save this class until the END of your UVA career. Even if you arent premed, this material isnt that difficult to learn and Hill goes INCREDIBLY slowly, like he spends an entire month teaching action potentials (which I didn't bother going to class for and still did well on the exam). The class is doable, you only need the textbook to look up vocab terms, and one exam can get dropped which is nice. He did curve a bit this year making an 88 an A-.

David Hill is a great professor. I had heard a lot of bad things about this class, but he explains things so clearly that it makes it easy to understand! The tests are all 40 multiple choice, so every point you get wrong can be worth a lot. There aren't trick questions, but each section covers a lot of material, so its hard to study it all. Overall, I would recommend taking this class with David Hill, because he's a great professor!

Good professor. This is a purely memorization based class. The only grades were tests. Your grade is the average of your top 4 test scores, including the final, so you might not have to take the final. Some questions are poorly written, but he always corrected the answer key accordingly which is admirable.
