Spring 2024 - If you're looking for an interesting Neuroscience of Physci elective, I would highly recommend this class! Dr. Phelps is very passionate about both the content she teaches and helping her students. She always welcomes questions during lectures and office hours and is open to suggestions for new lecture materials or structure changes. This course is made up of two exams, both of which were manageable if you study the lecture note handouts that are provided in class. There are also 4 journal article critiques and a paper presentation. While the workload is definitely more significant than other electives, the material is very interesting and the assignments definitely help you understand the content (not busy work!). If you attend lecture and complete the assignments, it is very possible to earn an A. Overall, I would definitely recommend this course
