Fall 2020 - I initially enjoyed this class, because it was not hectic. For the most part, you need to look at the weekly videos and take good notes. I would watch the videos every week and copy every little word. Trust me you need to do this, because his exams are complicated. For the first midterm, most people got D's or failed. He was generous enough to drop the lowest test score, but I don't know if this was a one time thing. The last two exams were somewhat easy, but still complicated. I wouldn't recommend this class unless you need to take it or love psychology. There is no extra credit or make-ups. Good Luck if you decide to take this class.

Spring 2017 - I really loved this class not only because the subject matter is fascinating but professor Shirinyan made it easy to understand and enjoyable to go to. His lectures were funny but informative and he has a lot of real world experience. The class is not easy but, he makes you want to learn and doesn't sugar coat what we know and don't understand about the neuroscience of psychotic disorders.
