Classic example of WM (B-) class, protect your GPA if possible.

Funny, good lecturer. Bad testmaker, overconfident guy--too much hubris. Too hard for intro class.

Gives obscure multiple choice exams with ambiguous questions. Nice guy, but crass, immature humor. NOT the easy A some describe. (First exam class average was a 68% before adjustment.) Take detailed notes during lecture and memorize the book.

Absolutely hilarious!! Class notes never seem to help. Make sure you read the book! Basically, you go to the lecture for the laughs.

Nezlek is hilarious in and out of class, and is definately a nice guy. Too bad his tests are so detailed, and he requires that students participate in "experiment hours" (usually just psych surveys that take time) to complete the course.

Test are hard, must read the book. Funny but sometimes a jackass.

Like everyone said, hes funny. I enjoyed going to his class. His exams, however, were impossible. I read the book last minute and went to class (most of the time) but struggled between a C and a B. Theres no way procrastinators like me could get an A.

DONT believe person below.Every1 else on track Nezlak is the real deal. Didn't miss a class or reading or much: no A. Best of lecturers BUT even 4the psych buf his test r oft ridiculous. B 4WARNED those grades my dril u another u kno wat humblin xperience

Despite what people say, it IS possible to get an A from Nezlek (I got one both semesters). That said, you need to know both the reading and notes VERY well. Lectures are interesting though, and often hilarious.

Nezlek isn't all he's cracked up to be. The only reason why people think he's funny is that he doesn't give a damn. Shows up late, blows off students, politically incorrect. Going to class was pretty pointless and his tests are full of trick questions.

He was funny and pretty cool, but his class wasn't very organized.

Psych as NatSci. Nezlek is knowledgeable and definetly keeps class interesting and relatively enjoyable with his sense of humor. He interrupts his lectures and stays after class to answer any questions that students have. Definetly need to read the material to understand his lectures. Tests are challenging, but not impossible. Would take again.

I enjoyed the class, but perhaps it was the material not the prof. To pass the tests one must read the book and some of the questions do come from the practice questions in the book, so do them!

The class is interesting. He can be helpful outside of class if you come prepared with a thoughtful question. The tests are hard, but in the sense that he doesn't want you to repeat what the book says- he wants you to know the concept, be able to say it in your own words and you'll do fine. He comes off arrogant but that's just because he's smart

He's kind of a jerk and un-PC to a ridiculous level. He doesn't expect much from his students, but the tests are still pretty tricky. You need to take lecture notes because just reading the book won't keep you from doing poorly on tests. Lots of reading, lots of really bad jokes, but a pretty easy GER.

His humor gets in the way of your learning. The class is not hard but his tests are weird and he only covers about half of the material from the book in his lectures. However, you have to go to class. His lectures will ruin your test grades if you don't.

Professor Nezlek is smart and knows a lot about psychology, but he is a terrible teacher. He is normally 10-15 minutes late to class, he is vulgar, he doesn't have a lesson plan, and he is arrogant. Some questions from the exams come from in-class discussions, but most of them are totally random. Reading the book won't help. Don't waste your time.

This was not a bad class at all. I pretty much just came to every class, took the notes, skimmed the book for the exams, and got an A. He's pretty funny and really relaxed about the class. The exams are exactly what he says they'll be. The class isn't stressful at all.

Professor Nezlek is a pretty good teacher. There was no need to go to class because usually the material didn't show up on the tests and reading the book got me an A, but I also wanted to go to class because he is such an interesting and funny lecturer.

Really depends on what type of test taker you are. His tests are really hard, mainly because they have lots of "all of the above" "only a and b", plus his class is not well structured... I was interested in the subject before the class... but afterward, not so much.

DO NOT TAKE!!!! He clearly doesn't care about his students and is only a prof to do research. Is very boring, and makes psych, a normally interesting topic, extremely dull. Can be funny at times, but it's a brief mirage of humor in 120 minutes of boredom. TAKE PILKY for this class!!! do NOT take Nezlek.

very interesting class. attend the lectures because he will include many test questions starting with "as discussed in the lecture...." .If you screw up on the first test (i did) don't get your hopes down and study really hard for the 2nd and final, he notes improvement. Test ?s are not tricky like ppl say...dont overthink them and you'll do fine

Nezlek gets a bad rap but honestly I think he's pretty interesting and for a lecture class (stright talking, no powerpoints) he actually usually kept me pretty focused. Don't get me wrong, he may seem a little arrogant at first but once you get over that he's not that bad. Def ATTEND class/take notes. Read book. Tests more on lecture.

How much these people like Nezlek is determined by their grade. Roommate and I went to most classes but only joked around. Did the same couple hours studying for tests. He got a C+, I got an A. If you're arrogant like me and my roommate, you'll like him as a person regardless of your grade. Compile notes of random references undoubtedly on test

Nezlek is funny and interesting, but his lectures don't have any structure: he just gets up and talks. He doesn't help students along. The exam is on the book and the lectures in detail, but he gives you little guidance of what will be on it, and he has no lecture notes. He is entertaining, and you'll learn some facts, but can be really frustrating

This class is not at hard as some people say but by no means is it a walk in the park. You can get a decent grade if you take decent notes and read the text ahead of time. The tests focus on the textbook and are all M.C. Gives some interesting facts in class. Not the worst thing if you end up with him. Grade consists of 2 midterms and a final

His class was hit or miss for me.I either was interested or was annoyed by all his sexual jokes and pompous attitude.Read the book and go to lecture and you'll be fine on tests.He obviously is only teaching for the research. He doesn't have office hrs and told the class to stop sending him e-mails with questions because he doesn't want to respond.

Nezlek's class was entirely lecture based, which forced attendance, even though not mandatory. Even though he sometimes didn't understand all the concepts of natural psych he taught, the test were difficult. Fair curve afterwards however. Textbook reading is mandatory for this class, if you want to do well.

Not recommended at all. The class frequently went on tangents and lectures rarely followed the book...if you missed some small detail in lecture, you were guaranteed to miss a question on the test considering he rarely asked questions about the big ideas. He was never available for help and obviously was only a professor for research opportunities.

Professor Nezlek is funny and clearly very smart, but spends more time talking about gambling than teaching the material. I learned everything from the book, and going to class seemed like a waste of time. Definitely not the class to take if you genuinely want to learn about statistics. Let out of lecture early every day, but no grading criteria.

There is no structure to his class. you will have to teach yourself everything

If you're willing to go through the book (which he sent to us for free), Professor Nezlek is great. It's important to know the material before coming to class, because, while he clearly knows the material very well, you have to do the same to be able to follow him. He's completely hilarious, and tells it like it is. Doesn't mince words.
