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!

I actually really enjoyed this course. It was difficult, and you really have to be on top of the work with the homework packets and the material (there is a ton of somewhat difficult material). I think the class is pretty fast paced but Crocker is really accommodating and genuinely wants her students to succeed. She is really interested in the material and it shows in her teaching. I think the exams were hard but fair and she holds really helpful review sessions before each one.

This was the first year this class was taught so it was definitely a bit of trial and error but Professor Crocker is super nice and accommodating and made the class enjoyable. We got exposed to many different techniques including gel electrophoresis, which was great experience!
