Fall 2023 - The first two parts of the 116A course were surprisingly manageable, but this part of the course led by the professor was unorganized and lacked a lot of clarity which made things more difficult than they should have been. There was a significant lack of communication on the professor's end which made the class more challenging since important information and instructions were often unclear or inaccessible. Also, it was apparent there may have been some lack of communication between the professor with the TAs which made things difficult on the class since we did not get clear answers to questions we needed clarification on for certain lab assignments. Also, don't get me wrong we learned a lot of useful information, but the entire module felt a bit all over the place. We went from studying nerve velocities using worms to examining fMRI scans from patients. I understand that this module was newly implemented this quarter, but this all could have been avoided if everything was laid out more coherently and there was efficient communication executed on the professor's end.
