Reviews of professor Michael Goard

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Overall, the class structure is not friendly to those who have learning disabilities (doesn't upload lecture slides, so hard to optimize taking notes as someone with a learning disability-- was asked to upload slides on gaucho space before class but refused, hard to follow along in lectures as he speeds through slides and doesn't go back, etc.)

This is a class that needs effort, but so does everything good in life, you will need to read a bunch of research articles, some tough some easy and in class quizzes are based on it thats 1/4 of ur grade,and the MT/Final is really fair, goes over key concepts in lecture but overall the material is very satisfying to learn, very fun class!

Prof. Goard definitely cares a lot about his students and is a very understanding person. Although he allows two pages of notes during midterms, his exams are still tricky. Lectures are recorded but once a week he holds iClicker sessions. Section attendance is not mandatory. He is really cool about crashers and waitlisted students.

Professor Goard is by far one of the best professors I've had in the Biology department. While this class is definitely lecture heavy, if you go over the material and follow along the class isn't hard at all. He definitely made a difficult subject easy to understand and appreciate! Great class and prof!!

Michael is a very kind person and you can tell that he really loves neurobiology. His passion for the material definitely made lectures easier to watch. The material itself is difficult and tests can be tricky, however you are allowed 2 sides of notes for midterms and 4 sides for the final. He is a very good professor and I would highly recommend!
