Spring 2017 - I really loved this class not only because the subject matter is fascinating but professor Shirinyan made it easy to understand and enjoyable to go to. His lectures were funny but informative and he has a lot of real world experience. The class is not easy but, he makes you want to learn and doesn't sugar coat what we know and don't understand about the neuroscience of psychotic disorders.
