Very congenial, straight-forward kind of guy. He gets himself sidetracked on amusing little anecdotes sometimes, but they make for a welcome break from the material - they enhance, rather than detract from, the class. All in all I found his segment of the class interesting and well worth my time and effort. His exams are fair.

Fall 2024 - I was honestly surprised at how highly this class is rated on here. I would say only take this class if you are interested in (of course learning and memory), but also research. The entire class is learning about how the concepts of memory have been established through history. This is done by looking at experiment after experiment, which is expected to be memorized. This class teaches very little on human memory. The content is very extensive, as you will be tested on the miniscule details of each experiment. The professor is super nice and entertaining as much as he can be, but the lectures themselves are quite dense and boring. There are also weekly quizzes on research papers that ARE NOT covered in the exams, so there is lots of busy work that is not tested on. The exams are a huge percentage of the grade, and even after scoring a 95 on the midterm and an 83 on the final, I ended with a B.

Winter 2021 - Class is split into 3 sections with each having a different professor each. 1st section was with Metzner, 2nd with Schlinger, and 3rd with Glanzman. Overall, the class was moderately difficult with open note/book midterms that weren't overlapping each other with non-cumulative final. About 6-8 lectures for each midterm. I enjoyed the class with Metzner and Glanzman the most. However, the midterms are 1 hour each which is a very little amount of time imo for both Metzner and Schlinger and did not do too well on them with a C with Metzner and B with Schlinger. Glanzman is by far the best professor out of the 3 and gave 1.5 hours for the final which I scored a A. The class is not too bad and with moderate studying you can at least attain and A.
