Winter 2025 - I've never reviewed anyone on Bruinwalk until Monti. He loves to teach and he is excited about all of his research (which is fascinating btw). At one point, he started crying during class because he was so happy that the class was engaged and asking so many questions. The class is easy, but very interesting. There are weekly 10-point quizzes on lecture materials, two non-cumulative, multiple choice exams, and one writing assignment. Lectures are recorded, but I don't see the point in taking the class if you're not gonna show up because the class is so small and very much discussion-based. The content starts out pretty philosophical, but becomes a bit more technical/neurosciencey at the end (never that bad though). I could not recommend a class more!
