Professor was okay but spent too much time on stuff that didn't matter during lecture. Almost never got through all his slides and was rushing at the end of lecture. One group project the whole semester. 3 exams worth 60% overallRate My Professors ↗

Rlly liked this class and Dr.H truly cares about his students and is very approachable/accommodating. Course clearly structured, lectures were organized and clear, Dr.Hubbard explains things well and ties in relevant new research/current events. Exams were fair, not too difficult but require studying especially if you have less neuro background.Rate My Professors ↗
one of the best professors I have had at Madison. Always enthusiastic in the morning, and happy to be there. Explains things very clearly. Overall a great class. I would take againRate My Professors ↗
Nice but so unorganized. Extremely slow grader. EXTREMELY.Rate My Professors ↗
Really good guy who is very easy to reach and talk to. Very enthusiastic about the subject and happy to help if you have any questions. Fair tests where he gives a full study guide which can be long, but still very helpful. Great dude overall and made me love the subject that I was initially worried about. 3 exams and one group paper. All fair.Rate My Professors ↗
This course was extremely interesting, and the professor did a fantastic job. I wish I could take more classes of his. He always had a smile on his face and always showed great interest in his class and his students. He truly cares about his students and their well-being and is willing to make adjustments to exam dates if you have outside issues.Rate My Professors ↗
