This was my favorite class of the semester!! Very engaging and fun. The tests are based on the lectures and focus questions in the book, if you do the reading tests are EASY! So much fun!!

This class was definitely my favorite so far! Prof Nosek managed to keep my attention throughout the entire class. He was hilarious and incorporated relatable, hand-on examples for everything we learned. The exams could be tricky but you can usually get a pretty good grade if you study. Would recommend this class to everyone!!

He is one of my favorite professors at this university. His classes were engaging and intellectually stimulating. He is unusually clear and informative - I still refer to his notes even now. What's more, I had little interest when I started this course; however, I have taken several additional courses and am considering it as a second major.

If you plan to take Psyc101, go with NOSEK! A stellar, down to earth instructor who knows his stuff! He teaches very well. The only thing I wasn't too thrilled about was the amount of material we had to cover per exam. Alot of reading.And the lectures are only supplementary to the text. Must have a solid studying stragegy that works for you.

This was my favorite class this semester! Nosek is funny and entertaining, and he shows a lot of good video clips to help explain the material. I looked forward to every lecture, and reading the textbook wasn't even that bad. The tests are not easy, though. Make sure you read and study the study guides that the TA's put out.

I loved coming to lecture. Easily the best professor I've had. The focus questions in the reading are VERY important along with examples he gives in lecture. TAKE THIS CLASS WITH THIS PROFESSOR.

good teacher really funny, he kept our class interesting with his sense of humor. ALWAYS DO THE FOCUS QUESTIONS IN THE BOOK- i went from a 75 in one exam to a 97 in the next because i did them.

AMAZING TEACHER! he actually makes you want to go to lecture...(almost lol). I personally thought the class was easy however, i love psychology too so... u know how that goes. I heard alot of people say it was challenging...but as long as you read the book you should b good. P.S.- i hate reading and i did fine =]

Prof. Nosek is a great professor. He is hilarious. Going to class is not neccessary because he puts his slides and notes on the slides online. His curve ensures that 60% of class will get atleast a B. Its a great class to take.

Good teacher but the work is very hard. It seems a bit extensive for a 101 class. If you don't like do read don't take his class. I probably wouldn't take the class over if I had the chance.

Engaging lectures and interesting stories. He's a great professor. To do well on the tests, you definitely have to read the book and sometimes the reading can be extensive. But depending on your TAs, they may type up (very good!) class notes, so if you miss a class, you'll be ok on material covered in lecture. A good 1st semester class!

Best professor I've had at UVA. Makes you want to attend lecture everyday. Tests are challenging but not so bad if you read the book. Overall great class! Recommend it to anyone, even if you're not interested in psychology, you will be.

While this class isn't easy, Nosek is one of the best, if not the best professor in the department. Friendly, approachable, and keeps lectures interesting. Highly recommended if you want an interesting class and are willing to work for the grade.

Great class, fantastic teacher! Prof. Nosek is wonderful! He does a good job covering the material and makes lecture interesting and engaging. The tests aren't too bad. Just make sure you do the reading and go to class (a lot of the test questions come from lecture.) Very generous grader! Highly recommended class!!!
