PSYC 2200

Excellent prof, very interesting material. Take

DO NOT take this class to fulfill a science/math requirement (i made that mistake). The class is 90% neurobiology and 10% psych. Tests are extremely knit-picky and require A TON of studying. Brunjes is fairly interesting though during lecture. But i wouldn't really recommend taking this class unless you're real good at bio

Loved the material and teacher is excellent. Old tests are helpful, and tests can be tricky but if you put in time you can do well.

Take this if and only if you like the mechanisms behind brain functions. The readings and texts are technical and very specific. It really helps if you are interested in neuroanatomy and have learned some already. For the most part, the exams are based on his lectures, but of the 40 questions, about 3-5 will be from the textbook only. Lectures are wonderful; he makes the material come alive and understandable.

People seem to really enjoy this class, but I only thought it was ok. Lectures and the material in general are pretty interesting, but the midterms drove me crazy. I thought a lot of exam questions were really poorly worded...but maybe that's just me. I got an A, but I wasn't really sure how I stood in the class until the end of the semester because Brunjes uses a curve. The A's in my semester ended up being in the 87%-93% to give you an idea. All in all - this is an okay class. I would still recommend it.

Prof. Brunjes is a good and knowledgeable professor. Lectures are actually enjoyable. Go to class and read the book and you'll do fine.

This course is all memorization. midterms and finals are very tricky and he will not hesitate to take one sentence out of the book and make it into a test question. Despite the trickery it is possible to get an A with an intense amount of studying before exams start. Not an easy class but enjoyable at times. lectures can be interesting or boring depending upon material. overall it was a worthwhile course but be ready to work

I really enjoyed Brunjes' lecture style, he clearly likes what he is talking about. He only provides pictures/diagrams online, not the entire lecture material so you definitely have to attend his class in order to do well. Unless you are willing to really study the book..

This class was very interesting. Brunjes was your average lecturer but overall not too bad. Definitely look over the practice exams from the previous years. They'll help you see what kinds of questions will be on the test. He also reuses questions sometimes. I thought the optional discussions were helpful. Angie was a great TA and made slideshows to explain information from the week. Overall, I would recommend this class to anyone who is interested in the brain.

The textbook for this class, Biological Psychology by Kalat, is so much fun to read. The lectures for the class are very entertaining. Brunjes looks like Abraham Lincoln.... however, his tests are all he grades you and he pulls the MOST RANDOM specific SHIT for examination instead of the truly important main ideas.... if you can, get this class taught by the other guy, Hill.
