Reviews of professor Joseph Orr

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
You don't have to go to class as long as you THOROUGHLY read the textbook. He gives quizzes for each chapter, but you're allowed to change your answers after submission. I don't find the lecture particularly helpful because he just reads from the slide. There are two papers which help to boost your grade. He also drops several quizzes and one exam!

The class is difficult, professor is great! Weekly quizzes from lecture material, the occasional in class assignment and two papers that you can get a perfect score on if you follow the rubric and write well. Professor Orr is an amazing proff, he answers questions well, and is fun to listen to.

Dr. Orr was by far one of my favorite professors at TAMU. He was so laid back and knew the material he was teaching very well and was able to convey it to the students in a great understanding way. His exams are hard and just memorization will only get you a 20 out of 100 on the exam. Study what he emphasizes in class and go to the study reviews!!

He's a very caring professor but his exams are really hard due to lots of memorization of the brain. NOT AN EASY CLASS! Quizzes were easy and we did have some research papers to do which weren't too bad. This class requires heavy studying, so not a blow off class!

While the class itself isn't mandatory, it can definitely help with understanding the material better especially since Dr. Orr is great about answering questions during lecture. The tests are ridiculously hard, cried during one, but not impossible if you study long enough in advance. Overall this class helped me learn neuro is what I want to pursue
