This class was an easy A for me, but overall I thought it was quite boring and uninteresting, so it isn't a course I'd take again. As other reviews have mentioned, the material is extremely dense. I went into the class interested in learning about neuroscience but the material was so dense that the class just wasn't very enjoyable and I don't feel like I got anything worthwhile out of it other than a GPA boost.

Exams are 80% of the grade, which is a lot for a GE, so it's important to prepare well for them. The best way to prepare for the exams in my opinion is to take super detailed notes during lecture and review the notes. There were a couple questions from the slides but I prioritized reviewing my notes rather than the slides, and that worked pretty well for me, as I got over 90% on all three exams. Babiec lets you bring a one-sided cheat sheet with 10pt font, so really use that to your advantage.

Additionally, homeworks are 20% of the grade. There are four homeworks and they are coloring worksheets. Others have mentioned that the homeworks are a good way to improve your grade in the class, but for me personally, that was not the case. I did not find the homeworks very useful for preparing for the exams or for understanding the content better, and they did not help my grade either, as I actually did worse on the homeworks than on the exams. So I stopped doing them after the second one. If you don't do a homework, your score for that homework gets substituted with the average of your three exam scores.
