This class is awesome. I have learned so much stuff about the human brain that is actually applicable to my life. The lectures are kind of long and tedious, but not really vital to the tests, I just find them interesting. Discussion attendance matters but they usually end early and are pretty quick paced. Perfect workload, 10/10 class.

I highly highly highly recommend this class as an easy A GE. All the lectures are recorded and the slides are posted online. Your TA provides a new intervention you have to preform each week, such as exercising, practicing gratitude, etc., and you fill out a google survey each day describing your mood on intervention and non-intervention days. Each week you have to write a short and easy paper about the intervention with a prompt provided. There is one midterm and a final that are open note and online. The questions are based on the information in the lectures and the provided readings. The textbook is Professor Korb's book and it felt pretty unnecessary to have. Grades are 20% participation (attending TA sections), 20% weekly logs, 20% daily logs, 20% midterm, 20% final. I did the lowest amount of work possible for this class and still ended with an A, although I do wish I paid more attention because this class is really meant to help benefit you personally. I usually just took notes on the slides at home instead of going to lecture because lectures always felt so long and slow. If you're looking for an easy science GE definitely take this class!

I really liked this class. The midterm and final were both online, open-note, so in my opinion they were very easy as long as you take good notes during lecture. I didn't mind the weekly interventions, although they did get tiring after a while. The reports were super easy, although you should make sure to clarify with your TA what they are expecting. The professor asks for everyone to buy his book, but you don't really need to because thankfully he goes over everything in lecture.

I would recommend anybody to take this course. The material is extremely useful to your everyday life and very engaging. Professor Korb is great and you can tell he is genuinely passionate about the content. The work load is pretty light but I still felt like I learned a lot because I was interested in the content.
