this was a pretty good class! recorded lectures twice a week, pretty understandable lectures, open book quizzes and tests. while i wish he was a more organized lecturer (i spent a lot of time reorganizing notes because his lecturing was kind of all over the place) it wasn’t that bad tbh. also quizzes are at a specific time period of like 20 minutes so that’s really frustrating but he does drop the lowest two scores so i was able to do decently on those. just be prepared to manage some logistics and the class isn’t bad at all, the prof is super nice!

I don't understand the other reviews on this page, I took this class W22 and it was asynchronous but had in-person lecture review and discussion options! Professor is DEFINITELY a much better alternative than the other professor teaching this class. There is no homework, modules (pre-recorded lectures) with all the information is uploaded early, there are very fair weekly quizzes, one midterm, and one final. There is a lot of material, but Professor made sure to let us know that we don't have to memorize all 2324 brain structures, we just have to know in general how they interconnect. He was interesting, funny, and also had clean and informative slides. Definitely take this class with Adhikari!

Prof. Adhikari is such a great and funny professor! Im bummed we only got a few weeks in person to listen to the lectures because he's a great lecturer. The class is not hard as long as you keep up with the variety of the material. Would recommend!

Highly recommend for anyone interested in neuroscience or looking to fulfill a Psych/Cog Sci/Psychobio requirement! The class consisted of quizzes, a midterm, and a final, and all of them were not bad if you watched lecture and understood the material. Lectures were really clear and informative.

I've seen a lot of bad reviews for Professor Adhikari, but I have never had a more engaging and caring professor. Even though lectures were online for half of the quarter, I would always look forward to watching his lectures, as his personality and way of teaching made it fun to learn the content. His class was the only class that I wanted to go to in person and it proved very helpful. He kept the online option open even when classes in person opened up, which gave lots of people freedom to choose which style they liked more. He made sure that the class taken online would balance out the class taken in person, which is something I didn't get the privilege of having for my other classes.

The content is indeed dense, which may contribute to why Professor Adhikari has a low rating, but it is just the nature of the class, and he does his best to cover everything in detail and tie them together.

His quizzes and tests are also extremely fair. There was not one question on the test that we had not covered in class. As long as you review his slides and take good notes, you will succeed in this class. It's a lot of memorization and hard work if you take it in person, and a lot of note-taking online.

Super straightforward class. Watch lecture, answer questions. Nothing unexpected. It might be boring to some so you need some self discipline to pay attention. I got an A without too much effort. 9/10 class and I do recommend this professor.

Lot of info. Did average on first midterm, above average on second midterm and final. Had a bad quiz average though. Cheat sheets helped along with being able to understand and apply material to dif situations. Prof and TAs are VERY helpful!! Do well on quizzes!
