The course is very interesting - you get to work with animals and dissect brains. Prof K is very sweet and is passionate about the content. Her exams are no longer take home and all all proctored, in person by her. There is a lot of reading and there is a coloring book which is graded which is quite fun. Overall good, just keep up and make sure you don't fall too behind.

It was great taking her class, the labs/discussions weren't too challenging, and as long as you stay on top of the reading, you'll do okay. The exams are heavily based on application of the information, so that can be challenging to some. She also gives extra credit as well so that really helps.

I found this class to be very interesting personally. You learn a great deal about brain structures and how that leads to specific disorders/ behavioral outcomes. However, I would approach this class with the same mindset as neuroscience. It is heavy on brain structures, neurochemicals, drugs, etc. The professor is very friendly and accommodating; she genuinely enjoys discussing the topic with you, whether that's after class or during office hours. She treats the discussion section as almost a mini lab or as a chance to add some extra lecturing; however, I find them very helpful. The tests are very dense, and there is a lot of content involved, similar to the textbook. The majority of the content on the tests is primarily from the reading and isn't discussed much in class. However, there aren't really any other assignments in this class other than reading and a few small, short answers after a discussion section. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this class and would definitely retake it, as well as retake another class with the professor. She does a good job explaining complex concepts
