Spring 2017 - Class was excellent and was taught by both Zimmers who are very approachable and so knowledgeable. Office Hours are very helpful--go to them. :) Read research articles and critiqued them; it got us to think critically and got us to understand how to pick apart experimental design and really evaluate it. When writing critiques, going to Robert Gammariello's (our only TA for the class) office hours is super helpful. It was a really eye-opening and interesting class. Course Reader with all the research articles was $40. Course Reader that included the class note/diagrams for the second half of the course was $14. I am selling both. The price is negotiable. Email me at ************* Thanks!
