Amazing Professor and willing to help you if you actually seek it.

Professor Phelan is definitely the best professor ever! He makes his lectures so interesting and engaging. I was so sad that we were unable to have the last lecture due to the fire. The class really gives me a new perspective to see the world. I would highly recommend this class to every one!!!!

There's nothing new that hasn't been said already from other reviews. It's a good science GE and also a fun class. I believe it's an offered pre-major class for Psychology and Cog-Science majors (don't get psychobiology twisted up with psych, pre-major classes for those are pretty different).

Perks:
-I didn't even buy the textbook and never read a lick out of it except for the reviews at the end of each chapter that I scanned with a phone app when I checked out the book from Powell's library reserve.

-Phelan's cool lol

-Quiz questions are given ahead of time so there's no excuse to fail these just go to your T.A or Phelan himself.

-The curve is INSANE. I got an F (57%) on my final worth 250 points, and a C (77%) worh 150 points and ended the class with a B- when I should really have gotten a D/F or at best, a C-.

-Considering the fact that I was lazy, depressed, and overall lacking in motivation yet was still able to pass the class, if you try in this class (and let's be real, we all know deep down when we're trying and when we're just making excuses) you are definitely going to get an A.

Prof Phelan is great! Take the class!

This professor is AWESOME. The homework does not take a long time and is super manageable. He has study sessions before the midterm and final where he gives you all the questions that could show up on it but then you only have two days to make a full study guide and memorize it. The weekly quizzes are easy. Definitely recommend taking this class.

The class is amazing, and it is a must-take! I'm selling the 2nd edition loose leaf version of the textbook "What is life" and the other required reading "mean genes". Both for $30! Please text me at **********.

I took LS15 in Spring 2016 so this is a pretty late review and I do not remember the exact details of the class's structure. However, I do remember really enjoying the class, and I thought it was valuable because it is biology tailored for psychology majors, which means that while it is not as tough as the other LS classes, it still forces you as a psychology student to treat your discipline as a science. I think that ^ is Phelan's underlying message - he wants you to approach science critically and skeptically, and understand that fields like psychology that sometimes involve questionable conclusions does actually have a scientific basis if you approach it as such.

The class itself is pretty straightforward. If you do all the work and try hard you will definitely get an A! The workload at times can be a little too much (if you are intent on doing ALL the readings), but it's definitely not too bad.

Best Professor I've had thus far!! Wish I could take another class with Professor Phelan! Very engaging lectures!! Selling What Is Life for $35!! Email me at *************
