Amanda Crocker

Professor Crocker’s lectures are organized and detailed. She writes down all important concepts on her slides, which comes in handy when studying for her exams. Her weekly homework packets reinforces the concepts she taught throughout the week. She is very understanding and accommodating, and for harder concepts she would be willing to walk you through them if you go to her office hours. I personally found her teaching style very helpful and effective in helping students understand the relationship and connection between different concepts.

This class was very group-work heavy and had projects/presentations instead of exams. We moved through the material relatively slowly and there was never too much work to do outside of class. While I didn't always find the topic super interesting, Crocker was clearly passionate about it which made the classes more enjoyable.

This elective course is comparatively a lighter course to take in terms of other neuroscience electives, and the only demanding assignments were mainly the two projects, presentations, and final lab write up in the end. It seems like a lot on paper, but the spacing of the class made it feel less intimidating, and as long as you have a good group early on, you should be fine in the class!
