Amanda Crocker
NSCI
Everyone who is looking at this needs to take this course anyways. Crocker definitely cares about her teaching but can ramble on sometimes. Overall, I learned a ton in this class and was happy at the level of intensitity this course was taught at considering it is the basis of your neuroscience studies.
Professor Crocker is very knowledgeable and a very lovely person. She is accommodating and kind in every way. However, she clearly does not like teaching this course and is a very confusing lecturer. The course consisted of her lecturing to slide show presentations. However, students rarely felt they understood what she was teaching and had to learn it on their own outside of class. Would not recommend taking this particular class with her.

This course has a lot of content, and it can seem overwhelming at first, but Professor Crocker does a great job at explaining the content. There is a (about) weekly worksheet, and the TA's and Professsor Crocker do a good job at explaining the content. There is also a weekly "peer mentor" part of the course, in which you meet with a group and a previous NSCI 251 student to go over a question, which is often not too difficult. The exams were fair but have a lot of writing, so prepare for your hands to be sore after them.
