PSYC 3460

Aweomse class!! Lots of printing/reading, but worth it.

Very interesting class on the legal and psychological relationship between families, children, and the legal system. There is a LOT of reading (most of which is overlapped with class discussion) but the tests are hard and try to cover most every reading. Covers a range of psychological and legal texts.

This class had a lot of busy work and while it is in the psych department it focused heavily on the law over psychology. Some interesting topics, but by the end of the semester I was tired of all the work.

This class was inter-disciplinary in nature and very interesting. While the prof tends to ramble in lectures and can be confusing, you eventually learn how to filter through the anecdotes and side-stories to get just the essential points.

The lab sections were fantastic - Todd was a great TA. I enjoyed going to lab despite it being at 9am on a Friday morning.

This class is reading-intensive, but Repucci recognizes that and doesn't expect you to read it all word for word. Also, his lectures follow the readings pretty closely. Other than a midterm and a final, the other two big parts of our grade were a 10 page paper and a mock trial.

By far my favorite class at UVA AND my hardest. You have two exams, a final paper, and a lab, each worth 25% of your total grade. If you work hard, you will do great.

This class is literally life-changing. You learn about so many issues that are extremely relevant. While Reppucci shares his liberal views that may bother some, he really helps you to think critically about these issues and draw your own conclusions. Lab is also fantastic!

This is a great class, especially because the subject matter is so relevant and so interesting. Professor Reppucci is an entertaining lecturer. In terms of work, the weekly readings are a lot but not super relevant on the exams. There is a midterm and a non-cumulative final, as well as a 12 page paper. You also have occasional homework assignments for the lab section, including current events, visiting a juvenile court, and a going on a police ride-along. This class will change the way you think about a lot of issues involving children and the law.

Reppucci is a great professor - liberal, but very knowledgable on the material. The class is equally divided between the discussion, 10-12 page paper, and two midterms. Allison and Todd were amazing TAs. The material is interesting as it covers law and psychology in a unique but applicable way. The discussion is fun and helps review the lectures, plus you get to do a police ride along which is a really cool experience. He cut back on the readings and added in multiple choice questions on the test to keep it fair. He covers most of the readings in class too so it's not especially important to do if you pay attention.

Wonderful class with a super kind professor. All the work comes from the readings which parallel what is taught in class, not doing them sacrifices you only a couple multiple choice questions on the test (if that, it's pretty easy to insinuate the answers if you pay attention to the lecture themes), so I would probably recommend avoiding them unless you are struggling with the material or miss a lecture.
