The course material is high level neuro and each week there you read a research paper and answer questions for homework. That being said, I definitely improved as the weeks went by and got faster at reading these papers. The exams are directly from the lectures and Cave gives fantastic lectures in this class. There is a final project that involves writing your own grant, but he’s very helpful throughout the whole process.

The material in the class varied from being really interesting to boring, but necessary. There was not much homework besides readings and a couple of questions due every class. I would recommend this course if you're a neuroscience major and want a simple class that doesn't require too much effort.

I took 252 before this course. While it is interesting and has a lot of content about the history of neuroscience, I did not find it particularly engaging from a science perspective. It is definitely easy but I recommend taking it before upper-level neuro courses as there is not a lot of science content.
