Very interesting material but one of the hardest classes I've taken as a PhySci major. Lectures, which were recorded on BruinCast, were long and I found them really difficult to pay attention to. Exams (mostly short answer and some multiple choice) were also difficult, with the average around 60-70% for the midterm. He curves at the end of the quarter but doesn't say how much.

I took this class as an elective for the neuro major and really enjoyed it. A lot of the content was building upon what we learned in the 101C modules so I definitely recommend this class if you already have a foundation of learning and memory. Dr. Glanzman is very kind, approachable, and passionate about this topic. The lectures are long, but I found them to be engaging. The class doesn't focus too much on actual human memory until the last few weeks, so if you want to learn about people -- look elsewhere. The two exams were difficult, but I believe the final grading scheme had a generous scaling system. I scored low B's on both exams but finished the class with an A.

The first half of the class is basically Glanzman's 101C module. The second half presents more information, but the difficulty level is about the same. It was about half physci and half neuro majors. The material and exams weren't easy, but I think the grading curve was decent. Overall it's not bad, I'd recommend taking this class if you're interested in learning/memory.

Of all the electives I've taken for neuro, this one has been my favorite by far. The material is similar to what's covered in the second module of Neuro m101C, but he goes much more in depth . There's a lot of experiments you have to memorize but the material is fascinating and Glanzman teaches it very well.
