PSYCH 612
Quality 4/5Difficulty 4/5
Class content was detailed and short-answer heavy exams were challenging, but overall fair and I enjoyed the class! He's very accommodating if you need help. Lectures were clearly structured, slides were not the most intuitively organized at times but I got used to the flow of the class and his way of presenting things.

I loved Craig! He knows what he's talking about and is very open to students' questions during class. He runs the course like a grad class but the test are very fair.

PSYCH 601
Quality 5/5Difficulty 2/5
Prof Berridge is very knowledgeable about the state of Neuropharmacology as it stands today, condenses it into informative lectures that focus on systems-level investigations of neurotransmitter systems and notable diagnoses. Exams are based on lecture/PPT material, which is very clear. Makes you engage with the lit and discuss it, good stuff.

Quality 2/5Difficulty 4/5
Took his neurochemistry of drugs and behavior 411. He's a bit awkward, and all of the material is given in lecture, which is bad because his lectures were disorganized. The other material comes from neuroscience papers. Only 2 exams, and he refused to give us any review questions for them. Also the exams are very long and short answer.
