Zu Zhai

Neuroeconomics has probably been my favorite neuro elective to date. If you have any interest in the field of econ, the overlap with neuroscience is very interesting. The exams were fair, and reflect exactly what is on the class slides. The presentation was fun and engaging as well! Overall, great class and would take again in a heartbeat.

This was my favorite class I've taken at Middlebury. Professor Zhai is so knowledgeable- I gained so much from this class. I highly recommend it to any neuro major. I not only came out of the class with a clear understanding of the science behind almost every class of addictive drug, but the historical context behind the drugs and a greater comprehension of addiction and its implications. There were a few exams in this class which were writing heavy but fair. There was also a final paper on a drug of choice.

Professor Zhai is an incredibly intelligent, passionate man, which translates to him being incredibly knowledgable, but also results in a disconnect between him and his students. His expectations on the exams were extreme to say the least, and even with hardcore studying, they were still extremely difficult. The content is super interesting, but be prepared to take lots and lots of notes, and expect only 5 grades for the whole semester. Three exams, one paper, and one presentation.
