His test questions are easy to understand and his exams are fairly easy. He is a good lecturer and helps break down the complex aspects of hormones and the brain. He is also really sweet and is pretty engaging.Rate My Professors ↗
He sometimes flies through dense/difficult course content, but would often end lectures 10-20 minutes early so it wasn't too overwhelming. His tests are very fair, and he is definitely very caring. I would not recommend taking this course if you are not a neurobiology major. The class is far more biological than any psychology class I've taken.Rate My Professors ↗
Loved this course! Anthony can move a little fast during his lectures so you make sure you're taking notes. Three big exams are each 25% of your grade. Exams were a lot easier than I expected since the course materials were pretty heavy. Overall, lots of memorization but interesting topics. WATCH THE REVIEW VIDEOS FOR EXAMS! SO HELPFUL!Rate My Professors ↗
I absolutely loved this class. Multiple topics were brought up that were never even mentioned in other classes I have taken at UW, and there definitely was evidence used to support his claims as this is what we were tested on! Professor Auger was extremely kind and understanding towards his students and I would take his class again in a heartbeat.Rate My Professors ↗
A lot of the topics in this class were presented without evidence.The professor would often make bold claims and then present graphs that didn't support his stance or present a graph then say "but I actually disagree with that".The class was easy to pass and Professor Auger seems like he cared about his student.I just didn't learn anything.Rate My Professors ↗
He's a really nice guy, but he wastes a lot of time explaining that he doesn't want to offend anyone when talking about sex/gender. I'm not conservative by any means but his lectures can be politically charged to the extreme-- he makes bold statements about transitioning (especially for children) with little evidence to back them up.Rate My Professors ↗
