Reviews of professor Laura Cocas

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
She really cares about her students. While she does assign a fair amount of work and reading, she does so in hopes of students gaining a full understanding of all material. If you don't understand something in class, it is super helpful to see her in office hours. You need to stay on top of things in order to not hate the class but it's worth it.

No clear guidelines. Laughs at your questions. Doesnt teach. Not worth

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Despite initial challenges in developmental neurobiology without prior knowledge, the course improves, with minimal homework and helpful reflections. Midterms are tough but manageable with Professor Cocas' support. Active class participation and revisiting recorded lectures are key. She's an invaluable mentor outside class. Ask LOTS of questions!

Pretty disorganized but easy class overall. Take-home exams that are all based on papers discussed in class. Graded only on exams and final project. She is really sweet and cares so if you put in some effort you will get an A. It can get a bit confusing so go to office hours.
