CollegeMY GOAT. Explains concepts great, class covers very interesting topics. Flip schedule so lecture recording before class then class is interactive q&a. Easy to Average difficulty, shouldn't be any problem for Bio majors. Goard is just so likeable.
Final curve saved me, very generous. Had heard that the class wasn't too bad and was easy, but I felt very challenged. The final was pretty hard. two midterms, he lets us have one sheet of paper with notes for those, but i didn't really think it was helpful. so much material covered, pretty hard concepts. Goard was really sweet and passionate.
Professor Janusonis was the best Professor I've ever had. He is passionate about the topics and exposes you to things you would never learn. You have to read a lot but it is worth it if you are truly interested in the brain. I am forever grateful to Dr. Janusonis for what he taught us in this course. If you want an easy A, don't take this class.
Professor Goard was really kind and the lectures are recorded while you go into class to answer iclicker questions. He would give candy to anyone who volunteered to answer a question. His curve is VERY kind. Definitely go to OH and section, if I did i would've gotten more than a C. He cares about us learning without penalizing us with bad grades.
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.
Assigns a proper amount of reading on important studies, but bases some assignment questions on the most obscure parts of the studies.
