PSYC 2200

As long as you go to class and pay attention you will be fine. You don't have to read the book it is more for just reinforcement

Very easy. DO NOT BUY THE BOOK FOR THIS COURSE. Everything you need to know comes straight out of lecture. Seriously, if you buy the book you are wasting your money. Hill is hilarious and he really tries to make sure students understand. Great class!

Not too difficult, interesting to life-sciences geared folks.
I would have found it useful as a psyc major to take this early on, material in other classes makes more sense if you already have the psycho-bio background.

This was meant to be an interesting and fun class; however, this professor doesn't know anything. He reminds me of a professor in the 70's that would come to class high. I think I could teach the class better and his test suck more than he does. I feel sorry to psych. majors for having to struggle through this none sense.

Prof. Hill teaches at a pretty slow pace and repeats things a lot, which may have seemed boring to some but I actually found it helpful. He posts his lecture notes online and lets you drop an exam. It is NOT HARD to get a B in this class if you go to lecture. If you want an A then you actually have to read. Overall, I found the material interesting and would recommend taking this class.

I was told that this class was an easy science credit--a class for athletes, etc. THIS IS NOT THE CASE. i found this class very difficult--tests are really hard and cover a lot of material in the book. It's not really a psychology or biology class--covers a wide range of random topics.

It's rather unfortunate that this class is required for the psychology major, since the relationship between neurology and behavior (which is presumably the reason that psyc majors have to take this course) came up MAYBE twice all semester. Prof. Hill's lectures were reductive and simplistic; he covered complex topics very superficially and without much enthusiasm. (I know, I know, this is the _easy_ neuropsyc class, for non-science people. I should have taken the 4000-level class. But I'm NOT a science person. Prof. Hill didn't teach complex topics very effectively.) Prof. Hill was also unable to stick to his schedule, which led to (the more interesting) topics a the end of the semester being covered much more quickly (and even more superficially) than those at the beginning of the semester. I also did not appreciate Prof. Hill's childish tone in lectures. Prof. Hill, are you really unable to maturely explain what a rectal thermometer (gasp!) is? Overall, and perhaps most frustratingly, I felt like Prof. Hill managed to make potentially interesting material boring and inaccessible.

This class isn't very hard but if you miss class or skip the readings the tests are pretty awful. You have to both go to class and read the textbook, but there are no assigned readings; you mostly just figure it out for yourself.

Wow. Just...wow. He apparently changed the entire course this semester because it was too easy before. Now there's a book. No, he did not have a book for however many years he taught this course. This is apparent in his utter inability to correlate the book to the lectures. He would send out long emails dissecting each chapter down to the sentence of what to read - it would have been easier if he had just said to read the whole damn book.

I've never been more disappointed in a class in my life. I was looking forward to this class a great deal and Hill ruined it. His lectures, the book, and the tests are all completely out of sync and his expectations are NEVER clear. On top of that, he's got to be one of the worst 5 lecturers I've ever seen who clearly does not want to teach. At all. Take this class with someone else. Anyone else.

This class was supposed to be easy, but I thought it was pretty challenging. I think he changed the structure of the course this semester. Some test questions come directly from reading without him ever talking about it in class. Apparently his final used to be recycled questions from old midterms, but he stopped doing that this semester to make the course harder. I honestly thought the material was interesting when I was reading the book, but the way Professor Hill presents the material was so boring that I found it almost impossible to pay attention in class.
