This is a great honors course, very easy and somewhat interesting (the best you can ask for in HC, I think). You'll basically talk about different artists and how brain damage affected them, along with some psychology experiments on different sides of the brain. The midterm and final are super easy (40 questions multiple choice and the average score is around 35) and there is one paper/presentation. Highly recommended.
