Reviews of professor Matthew LaClair

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
His lectures were boring but this class is an easy A, especially if you're a natural science major (you've learned pretty much all this material in a general biology class in way greater depth). Studied for half an hour tops for any exam.

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Total of 4 tests, one of them being the final, which is not cumulative. Tests are very easy and straight forward. His powerpoints have all the information you need and he posts them online a few days before the test. Few pop quizzes, but they quick and easy and only need to skim the chapter before class. Overall interesting class and an easy A

LaClair is nice, however he is very unclear as to what he expects from his students and then the tests are pretty difficult. No study guides and final is cumulative - a LOT to study for. Wants people to participate, but when people get answers even slightly wrong he will call you out and make everyone feel awkward. Just not very approachable.

He is the best professor I have ever had. Behav. Neuro. is so interesting and he really wants you to do well. He is funny and recognizes that the material is dense, so he really lightens it up. You have to read a section of the textbook before every class and take notes. All exams are mc and open note so just take really thorough notes! Love him!
