Great class. Just read the book and you'll do fine. Brunjes is a great engaging lecturer though and he'll make you want to go to class.

Great class -- fascinating material, and Brunjes is an engaging lecturer. Exams cover lectures and the readings, so read your textbook! The course is probably more science-heavy than your average psych class, but don't let that deter you. I'd definitely recommend this class to others; it was my favorite this semester.

The tests were on the difficult side just because it was so specific.. sometimes there was questions on material that appeared in one line in the book. But the class itself was very enjoyable and I liked the lecture.

Professor Brunjes made it very easy to do well in this class. He set 5 midterms, 30 MCQ each. We were allowed to drop the lowest score. This way, everything did NOT ride on one big paper or test. The MCQ midterms were the only assessments. Discussion section was not required, and consisted of a simple review of Brunjes' PPT.

Brunjes is a pretty good teacher. He does not let you ask questions however. You do have to know your stuff for the tests though, as grading is based solely upon exams.

Professor Brunjes is a great teacher, very knowledgable and makes lectures fun. You really do have to go to class because not all the material on the exams is in the reading, but overall, the tests aren't terribly difficult.

I really enjoyed this course. If you want to do well I suggest taking notes in class, taking notes as you read the book, and taking as many practice exams as possible right before the exam - this gives you a lot to study from. It's what I did and I ended up with an A.

Brunjes is a great professor and definitely makes the class very enjoyable. He really knows the material and the book isn't hard to read either. Be thorough and go over the old exams and you should be fine!

Professor Brunjes is very fair. He makes it very possible for his students to get good grades as long as they work hard. It is all very objective. There are five midterms, and you can drop the lowest score. Each is only 30 MC questions. I would recommend this class to others. It is very science-heavy though, and there is a lot of memorization involved!
