Excellent course and professor. Students were shocked by exam difficulty based on midterm, but scores improved greatly for final. STUDY WITH A PARTNER! Book so/so... you need it for the required additional readings but not for reading alongside lectures. Very engaging class and lectures went by super quickly. Odd final grade policy. Very friendly.

I don't suggest this class if you have the choice for another upper div. Grade is only midterm & final. Tests are extremely tricky and will have 2 correct answers but you have to pick the “best”. If you do have to take this class u rly just need to study for the test like a week in advance, cramming won't work. if u fail midterm 1, ur sadly cooked

This class is so interesting, but please keep in mind that your grade is solely determined by midterm and final. I personally would not take it if I could go back. I did all the readings and studied hard will still get a mediocre grade. It's not worth it. Tests are also hard.

So funny & lectures are so interesting, esp bc he adds personal anecdotes/patient stories. Grading criteria's very clear. Ppl are mad bc they failed even though he clearly stated the midterm would be dense. Just do the all readings on syllabus, take good notes, and do the study guide in advance. An A is def doable, just study early & pay attention

$300 textbook, grade is only midterm and final, and doesn't curve at all. Lectures students on how dissapointed he is in them after exams. Would not recommend

Lectures word heavy and hard to pay attention. Took this class cuz I thought it would be interesting. He didn't even know how much his book costs, not rentable. Not a fun class no recommend. Does not curve grades. Grade based on Midterm and Final. Most of the class failed the midterm and next class he tells us it's our fault for not studying enough
