Reviews of professor Christopher Mazurek

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Prof. Mazurek was SO funny during his lectures. You mostly teach yourself from the textbook, but exams were open note. He seems very nice, and I would 100% recommend taking this class with him.

He's a nice guy and a fairly decent lecturer, but your grade is based solely on the 4 exams, with the cut-off for an A at 95%. If you're fine with an A- or B+, you can easily get it, but if you want an A make sure that you do the reading and review the slides before exams.

You can tell that Mazurek is passionate about psychology, but he spends a lot of lecture time answering questions from students and doesn't cover a whole lot of content. The tests are really easy as long as you read the textbook, and he'll drop your lowest grade.

Prof Mazurek has sincerely been my favorite professor at UVA so far. His lectures are so interesting, and any questions asked during are met with well thought out, fascinating answers. He's also hilarious without making cheesy jokes that some professors try to use. The tests are sort of hard, but a few days of studying can keep you in a good spot.

This was my first psychology class ever and he got me interested in the field of psychology. Lectures were always entertaining and you can tell Mazurek cares about his students. Exams are multiple choice/fill-in-the-blank so memorizing terms is a must. Even though I was disappointed with my final grade, I really enjoyed this class!

I went to the first couple of lectures before the first exam and then found out how unnecessary they really are. I have gotten an A on every exam from simply reading the textbook and reviewing the day before. He spends the first 30+ minutes in class answering questions from students about things that don't apply to the whole class.

He focuses on a few things in lectures he will expect you to know on exams, but he tests you on things on the book he doesn't cover in class.

Who doesn't love Mazurek? Class was asynchronous and a wonderful introduction into Psych research. Chris is a great lecturer and makes the curriculum fun. This course and PSYC2410 are mutually exclusive requirements for a Psych major, but I took them both, and I recommend others do too.

Professor Mazurek is super funny and his lectures were always entertaining. The readings closely follow the lectures so you might not feel like going, but he does go over some things that aren't in the reading so it's important. Plus, they're entertaining. The main issue is that the only grades are the 4 midterms but the lowest one gets dropped.

I've never loved a professor like I love Christopher Mazurek. Not only is he an amazing lecturer, but his blue eyes are genuinely my favorite thing to look at. I. would take any class with this man. 10/10 would recommend.
