Awesome
Professor Chanon was just amazing, the only thing that can possibly make this class hard is not putting in any effort. It's easier if you have a strong background in neuroscience, but going office hours clears up everything you might need to know. Exams are easy if you study, no trick questions!

Awful
Professor Chanon goes through lectures SO FAST and is HORRIBLE at explaining things. When you read through the slides to understand the material better, she has no explanations on the slides. The tests are way too hard since there is no explanation anywhere online to learn from. If only I could put her at half speed during lectures!

Awesome
I took Prof. Chanon for NSCI 225 and PSYC 230 and I must say that he's really great! He's very clear in what's going to appear on exam. Since he also has demos in class, everything's easy to follow during lecture. She does PollEV for class participation and she only gives one homework per week. You should be fine on the exams as long as you study from the guides she gives!
