Hill is the worst professor I have ever had. His course is so interesting, but he makes the material dull and unlearnable.

Prof; Hill is the best. the material is so fascinating and I must say that he's a great lecturer as well. very calm and clear. Tests can be tricky and challenging but if you study the power points and take good notes you should have no problems at all.

Don't take this class unless you absolutely have to. Lectures are *not* "entertaining and engaging." I found it incredibly difficult to pay attention to his lectures. Learned a ton from the textbook, but exam questions are extremely specific + heavily lecture based. If you don't write down everything he says, you're not getting an A.

Four tests is the entirety of your grade. If you don't show up to lectures you won't get an A; test questions are almost ENTIRELY lecture-based. Book helps a lot and goes into more detail than you need but it's all really cool stuff. He's easy to understand and the tests are easy imo but people often found them tricky.

I took his class because it was a requirement for general graduation. His tests are littered with trick questions and don't ever expect to get an A unless this is the only course you're taking.

Comment:
Mr. Hill gives really great and understandable lectures. The tests aren't terrible as long as you're in class everyday and study before the exam. The only negative I would say is that he seems really condescending whenever anyone asks a question but still his lectures are funny and the material is actually interesting.

The single worst class I've ever taken. Review sessions are utterly useless, unless you really want to be talked down too every Monday. Trick questions for absolutely no reason on every single test. He tells you don't need to study something, only to put it on the test anyways. If you absolutely have to take this class, FIND ANOTHER TEACHER.

His tests are nigh impossible- the multiple choice may actually make them worse. Interesting material, but extremely droning to listen too, which is a problem since he wants you to know every bit of minutia he has to spout. Unwilling to budge an inch on unclear test questions. You will NOT get an A, no matter how much you study.

He's really engaging and i enjoy his side stories and remarks. He really loves what he teaches and he gives you the information you need multiple times. Reading the book helps. Tests are a little tricky, but overall the class is not as hard as it seems and I found the material really really fascinating.

alright listen, this class is not as bad as everyone says it is. he is kind of boring, but repeats things to make them clear, so you always leave lecture understanding the material. the tests are tricky, but if you study for a few hours & read questions & textbookcarefully you will get an A or a B. tests comparable to an AP bio test in high school

Doesnt care about your grade. He's fine with a C average for an intro class. Tests are basically impossible. Tests are all 5 multiple choice with trick questions like "two true, one false". I took this class for interest, and though it's interesting material, you wont enjoy studying 10+ hours for a test to receive a B-. Hope you enjoy memorization

David Hill is a fascinating and interesting lecturer. I found the material incredibly interesting, and was motivated to study throughout the semester. Unfortunately, tests are often poorly worded, and generally filled with "trick" questions. If you study, you will get a B, but I have yet to meet a student with an A average in the class.

Extremely tricky tests. No amount of studying will help you there. He's rude and condescending during review sessions. Also led us astray with the wrong info several times, then tested on material he messed up. Would not recommend.

Probably the greatest professor at UVA! I looked forward to going to class everyday. He was funny and awesome, and the stuff he taught us was just plain cool. I would recommend him to anyone. I would retake this class every semester if I could.

I found this class enjoyable, and while it was easy, it was still valuable and intellectually stimulating. Professor Hill is very helpful and truly cares about his students. I became ill with the flu and missed 1.5 weeks of class, and he volunteered to make time in his busy schedule (during advising week no less) to allow me to ask questions.

This class was a rickroll, should be in the biology department (we skipped the chapters that were relevant to psych, like emotion). Says tests are easy and they're not. He can be funny, but mainly awkward. Unless it's a requirement, avoid!

NOT EASY. he says it's an easy class- and he's lying. at least for me, it has absolutely nothing to do with psych. he's entertaining though.

Awesome teacher. I enjoyed going to class. He was funny and entertaining. Explains things pretty well and the book can generally clear up confusion. I really recommend going to class because the majority of whats on the test is talked about in class and while the ppts and book are helpful you won't do as well on tests without being in lecture.

Hill was a good professor despite the fact that some of the time he would make the material a lot harder than it should be. Beware: his tests are not as easy as he says, and can be quite tricky. I would also recommend always going to class because the slides don't really tell you much if you don't. Overall a good class. Recommend him for psyc 220
