Reviews of professor Nancy Carlisle

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Really enjoyed having Dr. Carlisle as a prof. It's not difficult to do well if you go to lecture and understand the material on the slides. Some questions exclusive to the textbook will be thrown in. If you've had no prior neuro classes, you may need to study a lot more. Helps prepare you for BIOS276 if you need to take it!

I would not recommend this class. We had 4 tests during this class not including an optional final. She is extremely unorganized, and not a great lecturer. The readings are extremely long and there are usually 2 per week. If you're trying to fulfill your NS requirement I recommend taking environmental instead.

Carlisle literally fulfills the bare minimum requirements to be an educator. Shes rude over email, only answers in useless single words, & seems utterly repulsed by the notion of helping her pupils. She rambles about how the lectures & slides are going to be on the exam, then gives you a test that is filled with material that aren't on the slides.

Not only is Carlisle not a good teacher, but she is just a terrible person. Never looks out for her students in any way. Her tests are extremely difficult and the homework she assigns is pointless. I genuinely enjoy psychology and was thinking of pursuing it, but she killed that desire with this class. I strongly recommend not taking this class.

Take DeBaris. Nancy and her TA Mel Westfall are truly horrible. Any proof of this can immediately be seen in her syllabus.

Do not take her class. Exams are difficult no matter if you showed up to every class, took notes, and studied for hours. Homeworks are also graded harshly and the TA was terrible. Her lectures were boring and long and never went as in-depth as the obscure questions asked on the exam. Avoid this course with her as much as possible.

She will read off of slides that are surface-level. Then, the exams go into extreme detail. She was never clear on what we should study. Also never curved. I got a 98.7 on a project. Why not just round up to a 99? That is why I had a C+ and not a B-!!!!!
