Spring 2022 - I actually had a really good time in this class! Professor Knowlton was extremely helpful in office hours (she spent 20 minutes explaining one thing to me that I didn't understand, until I understood it) and she obviously knows what she's talking about in the material. I have NEVER liked any academic textbook, but the Cognitive Neuroscience textbook listed for this class was actually very interesting. I truly enjoyed learning about the neurological pathways and very interesting experiments! Course out of 300 points Exams: 80/100/100, non-cumulative (so you can really focus on 2-3 weeks of content! How I studied for this class successfully was to focus on ONE lecture a day, leading up to the exam). Short answer, plenty of time to take it. She also "curves" the grading, boosting by around 5-10% Homework: None Extra credit: 15 points! 5% of grade taking a short pre-post- exam survey + SONA credit The only downside is that this class is not recorded/podcasted, although Knowlton encouraged us to record for our peers. You have to attend 10 out of 15 lectures for participation/extra credit.
