Reviews of professor Eric Gobel

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Gobel is the best and I wish I could take more classes with him. Very caring and great at explaining concepts, and funny. Take him.

Overall an enjoyable class considering that it's a college level neuroscience class. Don't think because this class is a level 100 that it will be a breeze, it is anything but. Lots of homework videos that take hours and nonstop content being given each day. Be prepared to but a lot of time and effort in, especially for the tests.

Professor Gobel is kind, but not nice. He will let you turn in an assignment but grade it so lowly that you were better off not doing it. Labs are very difficult to understand and he will make you feel dumb about it. Threw multiple fits over Zoom because people did not turn their cameras on, wasting class time.

I can see how people wouldn't like this flipped class model, but it works for me since you don't get lectured at much during class. I think the only real issue with the class isn't related to the prof at all, just how insanely content-dense Neuro 101 is. Only take this class if you actually like the stuff, otherwise it will really stress you.

Difficult class in itself but there are a ton of way to earn points in class. Dr Gobel has it set up as a reverse classroom, you watch the lecture videos on your own and come to class knowing what the material for the day is. It can become overwhelming if you start missing the videos but overall the class is doable. The SI sessions are very helpful

Great professor and seems to really care for his students. This course requires A LOT of attention due to there being readings WITH ANNOTATIONS due at the start of every class plus quizzes. The exams are challenging due to there being a lot of info to retain. Exams consist of only 2 units each time except the final is cumulative.
