PSYC 2200

Pretty straightforward; interesting material. MC tests were a bit difficult, but not bad. Brunjes was a good lecturer.

Brunjes was a good lecturer, but his exams were tricky and often worded in a confusing and ambiguous manner. There were several nit-picky detail-oriented questions on exams, and sometimes I felt that the exams didn't really reflect what was taught in the course. But if you're good at memorizing and interested in bio, this will be a good class for you.

Brunjes can be funny at times, but writes the worst/frustrating tests. Be prepared to know and memorize every single detail about everything. Big picture isn't as important as small, unimportant details for this class.

This course is fascinating if you have any interest in the nuts and bolts working of the brain. The class is heavy on the memorization and some of the test questions are tricky but none are especially so. Know the terms that are in bold for each chapter then just figure out how they are related and you'll do just fine.

This class is a lot of memorization. It is really important to read the book, some test questions literally will have word for word phrases out of the book. He posts all of his old tests, and usually reuses questions or uses very similar questions. Do not be afraid to answer none of the above, usually about 50% of the time that is the right answer. Lectures are important too, if you can't go try to get the notes.

Very difficult course, but the material is interesting. This is more of a bio course than a psyc course (which is why you're getting a science credit for it). Brunjes is a great lecturer, although his tests are notoriously nit-picky.

Brunjes is a great lecturer. He clearly loves what he is teaching. However, his tests are what I would call unfair. They really do not test how well you know the material but rather they test how well you read the test question. There was a 'trick' involved in many of his questions. But, the fact that his testing style isn't the best is definitely made up for by his great lectures.

Brunjes's exams are weird and really don't test how well you understand the material. It took more effort to figure out what he was asking than to demonstrate knowledge of the subject. I don't recommend this class to anyone who feels like they're not so great with poorly-worded multiple choice questions.

This class was very interesting and worthwhile ONLY if you're willing to put in the effort! The readings are not very lengthy, 10-20 pages /lecture or less, and if you really understand and pay attention to what you're learning you'll be fine. I took this ONLY for math/sci req and really enjoyed it and did well. Take it!!

Very interesting class. 5 exams including final, and he drops the lowest grade. Kinda hard but worthwhile. Brunjes is the man!
