Most Helpful Review
Winter 2019 - If you need an easy A, take this class. Dr. Lazareff is very kind and extremely knowledgable, however, he can come off a bit rude sometimes and will call anyone out (ruthlessly) for talking or being on their phone and asks you to repeat your conversation to the class. Aside from this, he is very passionate about neuroscience and is a very smart guy. As far as the class goes, I never thought I'd say this, but it was too easy! As someone who loves neuroscience, I was very interested in learning a lot of valuable information, and although I did that, I wanted ways to challenge that information and fortify it. There is no homework, no textbook, no projects, no quizzes, and only one final exam. You have weekly quizzes (although we only took 4) and they only count for participation. Then at the end of the quarter, everyone starts off at a 90%. If you get 1 or 2 wrong on the final, you get an A+. 3 or 4 wrong is an A, etc. Overall, I liked the class I lot. I learned a lot but I definitely wanted something to challenge me a little more. Because I knew there was no assignments or tests, it made me lazy. I would recommend if you need the A and like neuroscience, but the structure of the class needs some adjustments.
