PSYC 2200

The class is really interesting but the midterms are very difficult. Look through old tests, and study details.

The tests are hard. A fun class, interesting lectures, fair grading.

Just because you don't understand a curve doesn't mean its not fair.

He sets out goals, rules, and format clearly at the beginning of the class, and then follows that format exactly. Ultimately a rewarding class, and worth the time.

Professor Brunjes is a genius and knows so much of this subject. His lectures are interesting and sometimes filled with witty humor. However, if you don't do the reading, some of his lectures can get very confusing, as he tends to jump around in explaining certain subjects. This class is quite challenging but if you perserve it is definitely worthwhile. Just be sure to actually do the readings, and go to lectures.

It's pretty much a bio class, but he tells all the pre-med kids to take a different class on the first day. Lectures are pretty interesting, and he covers all of the important material, but be prepared to answer test questions about minute details from the textbook that he never addressed.

Brunjes is awesome. He's just a funny, old fashioned, somewhat corny prof that really loves the stuff he's teaching and wants you to love it, too. His lectures are a little old-school in that he doesn't use power points or post notes, so you have to go to class and listen. Also do the reading: there isn't a lot of overlap of details between lecture and text, and both are covered equally on exams. If you don't have any background in science, this can be a tough class, but Brunjes does a great job of breaking things down and tying things together. If you do have a background in science, it can be really hard to get motivated to put in the work, because the content is broad and shallow. Don't give in: the tests can get pretty nit-picky and if you don't keep up, you'll basically hate yourself...

AWESOME CLASS!!! Brunjes rocked. Lots of work, you have to study hard to do well, but it is great material and an amazing class

Awesome class. Lots of learning. Tough but worthwhile.

When I say "neurobiology" do you get excited? If you do, take the class, if you don't you might do better in one of the other options. PSYC 220 sets you up for a lot of options in other majors at UVA, and Brunjes has a way of keeping you awake and making it interesting. It's a 200 level lecture class so you can last-day cram and still get a decent grade, but book to lecture test questions are maybe 40/60 so make sure you read it eventually. On the up side the book is easy to read and covers a wider range of subjects than lecture can if you are interested in the subject.

Professor Brunjes is very upbeat and enthusiastic. The only grades are from the highest of your five exams (including the final). The material went into more detail than I'd liked as a non-psych major, but it's still fascinating.

HARD AS POOP, but amazing.
