PSYC 2600

I loved this class and the teacher. He was very fun and the material was easy to understand. You need to read the chapter and go to class.

This class is okay. He tries to make it interesting, but he's hard to understand. I struggled in the class after not doing well on the first test because the questions are almost ALL from the lectures. I ended up with a B with a bit of effort.

Really funny and interesting although he did have an accent and talked quietly

Oisha has been one of my top favorite professors at UVA thus far! He is awesome!! He is a lot of fun and the information he presents is really interesting. The textbook goes hand in hand with what he lectures on and there is a lot of information that you can relate to in everyday life, so it makes it even more interesting. This is definitely a class worth taking and I highly recommend it!! His tests aren't bad either and they are online. Oishi is great :)

I took this course in Spring 2010. It's a pretty straightforward class with interesting material, and Oishi is just the best. Recommended for non-majors who have a passing interest in psych; it's a fun way to learn a bit more about the field.

Oishi was really great. His lectures were pretty interesting as well as quite funny at time. The exams are not hard at all as long as you just review your notes.

I love Oishi, he's so engaging and funny and interesting! Must take!

A really great PSYC class- Oishi is super funny and makes the lectures actually interesting to attend. It's easy to get an A if you go to class and do the readings.

One of my favorite classes I've taken at UVA! Professor Oishi is a great lecturer and teaches the subject in a very engaging way. Really relevant information regardless of what kind of career you pursue. I enjoyed coming to class each week.

The distribution doesn't lie - if you go to class and read the textbook (the only reading for the course), it's pretty easy to get an A. Oishi clearly defines what you need to do to get a particular grade - 315/350 for an A, etc., so you know exactly how many points you need on the final. You get one free point (out of 350) for completing something like 80% of the clicker questions - I'm not sure if there's a regard for accuracy. The papers are graded generously - follow the directions and you should find yourself with an A on that. The material is all very relevant to everyday life and Oishi presents it in an engaging way, so the class is actually quite interesting and explains a lot of the interactions between humans. Very non-sciencey (I think there was 1 neuroscience question on the final out of 100). The only downside is that the final is cumulative (as opposed to Wilson), but he tells you what from each chapter will be on the final - brush on that and you'll do well enough on the final that if you've been paying attention all semester you should finish with an A.
