Fall 2022 - I... basically read the textbook and taught myself everything in this class on my own and that's how I did well. The professor is not very clear and the slides can go on tangents. However, their exams are very straightforward and trust me, you don't need to study as in-depth as the textbook goes or maybe as in-depth as you think you need to. There was one partner presentation which gave me a lot of anxiety because its 5 whole minutes per person, but It was all about explaining some figures from a research article and the grading is very lenient. We also had a few guest lecturers. This class definitely wasn't my first choice bc I'm not into neuroscience or neural pathways. To do well I'd recommend reading the textbook sections beforehand (even skimming and taking light notes) and then making concept maps on your own as you prep for the midterm and final (which was non-cumulative).
