Comments:na The professor should choose to cover a smaller amount of topics in more detail. Rushing through the

lectures at the end of the semester is not useful.



The selection of topics for emphasis was reasonable.

Comments:covered some topics very quickly in little depth There were a lot of topics, though. They were all

interesting and relevant, so I don't know which ones you could cut out. I really enjoyed the variety of topics

covered in this class. However, I think we might have covered them a bit too quick.

The level of the textbook was appropriate.

Having outlines on the web was useful.

Comments:It would be nice if the outlines were a little cleaned up. There were lots of typos and sentence fragments,

which made it difficult when the time came to study from them. The outlines helped keep me organized and on

track. I would have preferred and actual powerpoint. The outlines were a little difficult to follow in some

places. They were useful, but I would much rather prefer powerpoint.

Having figures and condensed portions of the outline on PowerPoint presentations wasappreciated.

Comments:First course I have had with such a format. These were useful. For future purposes I would

post the powerpoint in addition to the outlines. That way it's easier to relate a picture (which is not in the outline) to the

text.

Having applicable test questions from the last five years on each outline helped for learning and forstudying for tests.

Comments:The anecdotal stories that came along with the landmark papers were very insightful and fun. Brings perspective

beyond the classroom.

Having links to Nobel lectures is an interesting resource for the web site.

Make a statement about attendanceCertain topics needed explanation beyond outline. So, attendance was important. needs to be more engaging

in lecture so attending is more profitable I attended every lecture. Having the podcasts posted on the website was

helpful in case I didn't get everything in class. I feel that you get more out of class and the professors history in the

field if you attend class regularly. Attendance was a necessity in this class. I showed up to most of the

lectures. i attended almost all of the lectures and felt they were very helpful! dr. stark has a distinct way of teaching

and i found it easy to learn. i ...



Make a statement about the relevance of SLU’s 5 dimensions to this course and its assessmentFits well The first dimension, Scholarship and Knowledge, definitely applies. It's hard to see how the

other 4 are relevant. Fulfilled all dimensions Yes. -

Are there any topics you would like to be added to the syllabus in future years?na No. No No. i loved the material on the final exam (memory, learning, neuroendocrinology)

and would prefer if we had the chance to learn more details about these subjects.

Are there any topics you think should be reduced or eliminated?na They were all interesting, but again, it was a lot. It felt rushed toward the end. No I would try

to focus more in depth on a smaller quantity of subjects rather than flying through a lot in information.
