PSYC 2200

This is a tough class, but definitely worth it. Brunjes is a great lecturer; even when the material can get kind of boring, he'll insert the occasional joke here and there to keep you awake. Tests are kind of tricky and really test your knowledge (he actually uses the "none of the above" answer choice relatively often on his questions) but if you do the reading and go to lecture you should be fine. Highly recommended; this man made me want to be a neuroscience major.

The test format is very specific and is only 35 - 38 questions so it is very easy for someone to know the information to do poorly on the tests. I think this is a fault that runs throughout the psychology department and is fairly disappointing. The information is fairly interesting, however.

The course material is extremely interesting and Brunjes teaches it well. He includes lots of case studies that aren't in the book to help the class understand the concepts. As long as you keep up with the reading, which only consists of a few pages a night, the tests aren't too bad. It's actually kind of nice not having to worry about any homework except studying.

This class was so much fun--definitely only for psych majors though. This is a weed-out course and it truly is. Difficult, but the most enjoyable one I had this past semester. Brunjes is really approachable and dumbs everything down in class. Take it!

Brunjes is a great professor. class is enjoyable, but you should only take it if you're prepared to study a lot. always do the practice exams on toolkit (answers are under "announcements"). another tip: he gives one pop quiz a semester. in the fall, it's right before Thanksgiving break. in the spring, it's right before spring break. he could change it around - to be safe, don't skip those classes and do the readings beforehand. (you should be going to class and keeping up with the readings anyway.)

This class was my favorite class at UVA, mostly because of Professor Brunjes! He's such a good lecturer, I never felt sleepy during his class even though it was in the morning. Entertaining, funny, really knows his stuff. The material isn't too bad either, just read the book thoroughly (it helps to attend lecture because Brunjes explains whatever might be confusing) and take the practice tests. It's an intro to neuro course, so definitely take it if you can!

Professor Brunjes is very fair. He makes it very possible for his students to get good grades as long as they work hard. It is all very objective. There are five midterms, and you can drop the lowest score. Each is only 30 MC questions. I would recommend this class to others. It is very science-heavy though, and there is a lot of memorization involved!

Brunjes is a great professor and definitely makes the class very enjoyable. He really knows the material and the book isn't hard to read either. Be thorough and go over the old exams and you should be fine!

I really enjoyed this course. If you want to do well I suggest taking notes in class, taking notes as you read the book, and taking as many practice exams as possible right before the exam - this gives you a lot to study from. It's what I did and I ended up with an A.

Professor Brunjes is a great teacher, very knowledgable and makes lectures fun. You really do have to go to class because not all the material on the exams is in the reading, but overall, the tests aren't terribly difficult.
