Winter 2024 - Professor Monti is absolutely amazing! He is really passionate about teaching and highly professional in the field of consciousness studies. He puts in so much efforts into preparing the lectures and makes them super interesting. I came into the class with no interest in the topic of consciousness, but it was only after his lecture that I found this topic to be so fascinating to discuss and learn about. I love how he is always open to discussions during class time and well addresses students' questions. I've also learned a lot out side of class from attending his office hour and listen to the conversations between him and the other students. I appreciate that the workload of the class is manageable, with only one weekly quiz, one midterm, and one non-cumulative final exam. However, the concepts introduced in this class can sometimes be theoretical and challenging to understand. I find the weekly quizzes and the midterm exam to be somewhat difficult. I genuinely wish the course could be longer! I enjoyed it so much. Would definitely recommend!
