PSYC 2200

Everyone told me this was such a great class and it was super interesting and whatnot. It's not. Be warned. I fall asleep every class and the tests are VERY nitpicky. You'll be able to rationalize 2-3 of the answers in your head and you'll drive yourself nuts. And if Jim Corson if the TA, run for your life. I've never seen a bigger dimwit in all of my life; if he got into the grad program for UVA Neuroscience, then ANYONE can get into that grad program. He has no idea what he's talking about. And the answers he gives you directly contradict Brunje's answers. seriously. just don't do it.

Though it is under the label of PSYC, this is basically a biology class. I would not recommend this for those who are not scientifically inclined or for those who are looking for an easy A. Tests are on the tricky side and there is a lot of reading, so you have to put some work in. The class is definitely doable though. Brunjes is great! One of my favorite professors here (:

Brunjes is the man. His lectures are easy to follow, and can be pretty funny. The lectures are only some what identical to the textbook, so it is important to attend class. The catch is the tests are tricky.

Hard class

fun class but hardcore material... not reccommend if your not somewhat interested in it

whats happening!

This is truly a great class! I'm not one to overhype a subject, but this one is really cool. Because of it, I am strongly considering majoring in Psychology. Brunjes knows everything there is to know about biological psychology and gives great lectures. James Corson, his TA, was also very helpful at clearing up tough concepts. You do have to read the chapters carefully, which I HATE as much as the next person, but it's the most painless reading I've done in college. Take the class. You'll enjoy it.

Overall really good class. Four test and a final one gets dropped. Pretty interesting as well definately recommend. Study for test can at times be tricky

Brunjes is humorous, but is oftentimes difficult to take detailed notes from. The grading system for this class is complicated and a bit ridiculous, as everyone is competing against one another for the top grade. You MUST read to do well, and it is advised to set up a reading group for each exam.

I absolutely loved this course. I found the reading to be extremely interesting and Prof. Brunjes was entertaining in lecture. However, I also know people who thought this class was hard. Only take if you enjoy biology as well as psych. Reading was very important.
