Overall an average professor. He didn't show up to a single test we had this quarter, which I thought was kind of weird of him. Ended up going to about half of his lectures, didn't once read the textbook, and still ended up with an A-. Lectures are straightforward-- just memorize them and you'd be good. Tests not bad at all, very straightforward.

honestly the material was interesting and straight forward. the tests were very fair and he had study guides for the midterms and final! honestly very slay

Despite what a lot of people say, I really liked him! The test questions were half things from the book and half things in lecture. So as long as you pay attention during those, you should get an A. His lectures were also really entertaining and had a lot of interactive features. He does sometimes speed through material, but not too bad.

the only thing in the grade is 1 midterm worth 60% and a final worth 40% (you take two midterms and he keeps only your highest score).he is very passionate about his teaching & loves answering questions. The ta was also very nice and responsive, both were willing to work around your schedule if you couldn't make it to office hours. loved the class

Schooler is very well-known in the psych field so he def knows his stuff. He clarifies so much in office hours so go ask your questions there! Reading was the only issue I had since it's not the most efficient way to learn but you have to read to get A's on the exams. There was an extremely generous curve given so an A is definitely doable!

Tests are extremely difficult and based on very niche things. If you are interested in cog psych def take it with Sprague instead. Jonathan is a good lecturer but the tests don't reflect what's covered in class. There are no quizzes or practice exams and study guides are not very helpful. OH tended to get off topic and unhelpful.

i saw someone say his lectures were a bit difficult to follow, i have to agree. he makes up for it when he answers students questions in class, he really makes it easy to not be scared to ask a question during lecture! also, if you're rlly having trouble, i found his office hours extremely helpful with material i was confused with from class.

you can clearly tell schooler is very knowledgable, he is not a very clear professor. this is in terms of lecture style, it's extremely hard to follow him and his train of thought. he structures the final grade as 30% midterm 1, 30% midterm 2, 40% final, so there really is not much wiggle room. no extra review material or supplemental help.

This is the most life-changing class I have taken. The material is like nothing you have learned before. I learned how to meditate, focus/concentrate, self-compassion, and really a new perspective on life. I can't recommend it more. Prof Schooler is a great person. He spends a lot of time answering questions in class and after. He is availb in OH

Pretty tough class. Dr. Schooler is an incredible teacher and researcher, but the exams for this course are pretty tough. Two midterms, each worth 25%, and a final worth 50%. He curved the second midterm because the average was extremely low, which was awesome. Highly recommend the class but it can be pretty challenging.

Professor Schooler is one of the most amazing professors I've ever had. He's so smart and caring and makes class really enjoyable. Take his science of consciousness class it's literally life changing !!

Great guy and very understanding. Loved this class

Professor Schooler is one of the best professors this school has to offer. He's very understanding and he tries to make the learning environment as positive as possible. Sometimes he has little trouble with Zoom but its never anything bad and it's fixed super quickly.

2 exams; 2 quizzes. overall Good lecturer. kept up with readings (warning: there is a lot) which helped me understand the material in the class. He also has you watch videos out of class, which he will have 2 items on exams. he also had a guest lecture (2-3 questions). exam- 75% on the lecture. 20% on readings. 5 % rest. got an A- in the class.

Lectures on interesting material. Provides students with a great study guide saying exactly what to study (plus a little extra) in order to receive a high score on the exam. Very knowledgeable.

Prof Schooler is very smart, and you can tell he is really passionate about neuroscience and psychology. His lecture slides are very text-heavy and dense with info, can sometimes be hard to follow/understand. Tests are easy as long as you show up, pay attention, and read. Sometimes could not answer questions in depth. Madeleine Gross is a good TA.

He is understandable and does his best to answer any questions you may have. You do have to read if you want an A, the tests are made up of approximately 85% powerpoint and 15% book. Stay for lecture after a quiz and there is a chance you'll get extra credit. If you care about the material, the lecture will be fun and engaging.

There is one midterm and final. You have to read the textbook and know the lecture to do well. He is a pretty good lecturer and willing to help out as much as he can. It is a little difficult but if you do the readings and really understand the lectures, you'll do fine.

Alright professor and an alright class. Material is really interesting but Schooler isn't a very compelling lecturer (once you notice how many "um"s he says it's hard to not notice them) and the exams are harder than you'd think compared to the topics he covers in lectures! Really likes it when students ask questions, but often doesn't have answers

His lectures are key if you want to be capable of the tests, as is reading the book. You need to do a lot of work to get the information clarified in your head. there is quite a lot that is conflicting. He is eager to teach students and a genuinely sweet guy. he can be frustrating as despite his intentions he isn't able to make everything clear.

Best professor I have had in my entire college career. Extremely knowledgeable. He loves what he does and wants his students to love it too and do well in the class. Would highly recommend. Super helpful. Loved the class.

He is very organized. He is like a walking dictionary, he uses a lot of big words. There are 2 quizzes, a midterm, and a final. He will curve it if majority does bad. You have to put in A LOT of work to get a good grade. Overall pretty difficult but not impossible

I feel that the class was more focused on covering massive amounts of material with little depth to the information we were given. It seems sort of counter-intuitive, given the fact that the class was emphasizing ways to retain information better. His lectures are a skim that moves 1000 mph and the slides lack appeal

He's an excellent professor that really cares about both the students and the material. While his lectures can be long, they are always interesting and engaging. His test are clear, so if you study, you'll get a good grade. Also, if you're thinking about doing an Honors Contract, he's a great professor to work under.
