Summer 2024 - Professor Trott is such an amazing professor! He gives very engaging lectures and breaks down the concepts very well! The class during summer session consisted of weekly quizzes with unlimited attempts, a midterm (30% of your grade), and a final (40%) of your grade. Exams were open note, open internet which makes this class 1000x better during the summer compared to the school year. Would take it again with Professor Trott!

Summer 2020 - tldr: take Psych 115 with Tony Ye! Professor Ye does an excellent job at explaining material in a way that's easy to understand, even without a previous neuroscience background. His exams (the midterm and final) are very straightforward. He provides study guides and as long as you can answer the questions on there you should be good to go. There are weekly quizzes that are written by the TAs, and these are more difficult than professor Ye's questions. There were a few ambiguities but he gave us points back for those questions. There were a total of 15 extra credit points possible. I highly recommend going to his office hours.
