There's only two exams. Imo the reader questions that are on the exams are very straightforward. Questions I missed were on the lecture material so make sure you attend lecture because he does mention test material that aren't explicitly stated in the slides since his slides are very minimal. Great professor to talk to in office hours! Very smart.

1 midterm, 1 final grade only. Lots of articles, but not all were empirical/hard. All readings were extremely interesting. We learned about phantom limbs in the brain, Capgras delusion, and some anatomy but not much. His lectures blew my mind, but sometimes were hard to stay 100% focused. He is very respected and is a true neuroscientist.

I loved taking this class! There was a LOT of reading however the content is accessible and the testing material is made clear. Lectures were also incredibly interesting! Professor Janusonis is very considerate of his students, helpful in office hours, and an overall great professor deserving more recognition

This is truly a professor who cares about his students and their learning experience. He is clear, organized, and professional. Everything presented in class is interesting and relevant. The readings are very understandable and well coordinated with the lectures. You must read, you must attend lecture, and you must put in effort, but it is worth it

Great upper div class with such a chill prof. Only graded by midterm and final. Both are easy if you do the readings and his assigned article Q's (he uses them as exam Q's). First half of the material's kinda dull, but gets better after midterm. Generous grading scale makes it even easier to get a good grade - 85 cutoff for solid A, 75 a B, etc.
