SMITH I
decent bit harder than Olga but a better lecturer. Exam questions are much less straightforward and smith expects you to know the material much more in depth; one off statements that are only on one slide are fair game for exams. Does occasionally bring snacks for the class though
Professor Smith is definitely one of the best instructors I've had at UCSB or really just in general. Her class (Neurocircuitry) is super interesting and the way she orients each week around a different case study/disorder made the class very real life applicable while not being too overwhelming at all. Fun class taught by a nice person :)
Writes pretty easy question for her portion of it. memorize the slides and you are Gucci.
I was really excited to take this class and it was the complete opposite of what I was expecting. Maybe it would have been interesting if she had actually explained the material instead of just throwing out a ridiculous amount of complex terminology and expecting us to blindly memorize it. I would have appreciated being taught the actual logic.
