PSYC 2200

Really enjoyed this class, but already had learned much of the material in intro bio courses. (Which made a lot of Brunjes's explanations seem very basic...) Definitley interesting class though.

Brunjes is awesome, and very enthusiastic about the material. You definitely need to read the book since some test material comes from it and go to class, but the reading is only about 10 pages per class and Brunjes makes class entertaining! Plus, the material is really interesting!

Witty man. Pretty funny. Old-school lectures (recites everything verbally, occasionally drawing diagrams on the board--beware: his artistic skills aren't very developed). Very difficult tests. I can never figure out the best way to study for his midterms. Basically, you attend lectures, read the textbook, and do practice tests. He repeats a few questions from previously released tests. He puts lecture-only material on his tests (so go to class and pay attention). David Hill, the other Neural Basis of Behavior professor was also really funnier, if not funnier, when he subbed in for Brunjes one day (Hill used a PowerPoint, which I prefer). The class is graded on a curve. I thought the information I learned in the class was interesting, but the tests are a challenge (extremely tricky answer choices & detailed questions).

An interesting class to take if you think the brain is really cool. Brunjes is a funny guy and good lecturer. Make sure you go to class because he doesn't do PowerPoint slides and some test questions are straight from his lectures. Looking through previous years' exams is beneficial.

Great guy. Hard class.

The textbook for this class, Biological Psychology by Kalat, is so much fun to read. The lectures for the class are very entertaining. Brunjes looks like Abraham Lincoln.... however, his tests are all he grades you and he pulls the MOST RANDOM specific SHIT for examination instead of the truly important main ideas.... if you can, get this class taught by the other guy, Hill.

This class was very interesting. Brunjes was your average lecturer but overall not too bad. Definitely look over the practice exams from the previous years. They'll help you see what kinds of questions will be on the test. He also reuses questions sometimes. I thought the optional discussions were helpful. Angie was a great TA and made slideshows to explain information from the week. Overall, I would recommend this class to anyone who is interested in the brain.

I really enjoyed Brunjes' lecture style, he clearly likes what he is talking about. He only provides pictures/diagrams online, not the entire lecture material so you definitely have to attend his class in order to do well. Unless you are willing to really study the book..

This course is all memorization. midterms and finals are very tricky and he will not hesitate to take one sentence out of the book and make it into a test question. Despite the trickery it is possible to get an A with an intense amount of studying before exams start. Not an easy class but enjoyable at times. lectures can be interesting or boring depending upon material. overall it was a worthwhile course but be ready to work

Prof. Brunjes is a good and knowledgeable professor. Lectures are actually enjoyable. Go to class and read the book and you'll do fine.
