Fall 2024 - Dr. Dominguez is very passionate about neuroscience and has reflected this on me. I am not a neuroscience major and I am not the best at science but I loved this class. The course work is fairly easy and slides are provided before lecture so taking notes is easy. Overall the exams were easy and the final was a podcast. Def recommend this class.

Fall 2023 - The first two parts of the 116A course were surprisingly manageable, but this part of the course led by the professor was unorganized and lacked a lot of clarity which made things more difficult than they should have been. There was a significant lack of communication on the professor's end which made the class more challenging since important information and instructions were often unclear or inaccessible. Also, it was apparent there may have been some lack of communication between the professor with the TAs which made things difficult on the class since we did not get clear answers to questions we needed clarification on for certain lab assignments. Also, don't get me wrong we learned a lot of useful information, but the entire module felt a bit all over the place. We went from studying nerve velocities using worms to examining fMRI scans from patients. I understand that this module was newly implemented this quarter, but this all could have been avoided if everything was laid out more coherently and there was efficient communication executed on the professor's end.

Spring 2024 - This class took me by surprise with how interesting and fun it was! Very interactive. Half of each class was lecture while the other half was usually an activity of some kind. The readings and the presentation projects at the end were interesting. Dr. Dominquez was very passionate about the subject matter as well. The only problem was that she often changed her mind/forgot about policies that were not set in stone, such as exam policies. There was not a lot of clarity about the final project until near the end. I think in the future the class syllabus should be more thorough, and then the class will be perfect.
